Factory overhead console with upfitter switches.

[Stic-o]

International overhead console with upfitter switches. ? They added this to the 6th Gen international trucks.

Let's find a part number so we can start retrofit our 5th trucks with these.


Go!

that is much better than on top of the dash like our 5g setups. idk why ford picked that spot. it was like they came up with the idea last minute and just tossed it on in a spot with space lol.

looks like we'd need the whole overhead console w/switches, then a wiring harness adapter to reroute the existing switches to the headliner. If they use (as I suspect) small gauge wiring, soldering the wires together is going to be a PITA, and we'd need to acquire a cap to cover the dash where the old switches were... piece of cake, right?

As another option, you can do what I did...place bluetooth switches here like this, which doesn't require modding the panel

I think the OP, with a 2019 MY, meant this as a useful set of upfitters for non-Tremors or as an extra set of upfitters for Tremor's but, yeah, a PITA.

As with other ROW Ranger parts & accessories, there’s no fitment guarantee. Who knows if it would match up nicely with the contours, cutouts, or anchoring points of our headliners? Then there’s all the electrical extras to consider.

I think it looks great and it’s an excellent option………if it fits. Will it become another driver’s side A-pillar grab handle and trim experiment or will it be a big home run?

Who wants to go first? ?

Not sure why more truck/cars don't use this space for switches...overhead is much easier to reach than the dash...

Could this be all that's to it?

Then just to worry about a wire harness to a fuse box or something?
