Terrain management upgrade?

[RVA Overland]

So, terrain management is possible to activate, but we aren’t sure yet about Trail Control?

Do we think these features will all work on a 4x4 that doesn’t have a locking diff?

I would think it should. I believe it uses the ABS system to push power to different tires and not the locking mechanism.

Just bought the parts from Ford, so I plan to test this out as well on my XLT (without FX4 package). Hopefully we can get this figured out soon. Thank you for everyone's work on this.

This sounds like an awesome DIY project. Looking forward to seeing how it progresses.

So my dad ordered all the parts from this thread... The parts guy told him it was on the steering wheel, and he needed different part numbers for the center console. He elected to ignore the parts guy and ordered the (correct??) part numbers.

When it gets here, I will pull his AsBuilt info to see what I can figure out about the trail control feature.

Does anybody have the factory AsBuilt data for a 2019 Lariat FX4 with B&O? I'd like to compare it to his 2019 Lariat Sport with B&O and locking rear diff to see what I can figure out about the trail control button.

OR maybe by the time the parts get here, one of you geniuses will have already figured it out and I can proceed to mangle his center console to get the new parts put in

Speaking of which, is there a howto for removing the center console? Maybe someone should make a video.

I have a 2019 Lariat FX4 with B&O, not entirely sure how to post my asbuilt data, however. I have made a few changes, too, but would my VIN help?

Are you trying to remove the entire center console, or just the part with the 4WD knob and buttons? That part just pries up, starting at the seam with the cupholders.

A few posts up, there’s a motor craft service as built website. Put in your vin or pm it to me and I’ll pull it. Much appreciated.

Got mine from the dealer today. Quick easy install, just enabled selectable drive mode in IPC and it worked. Nice trim upgrade as well, looks better then the plain black plastic one.

Got Forscan this week and added the offroad screen. TM switch is ordered and will be installed once it arrives. Thanks for the work on this.

Does anyone know if this upgrade would be possible on XL/STX trims? I know if you order them with the fx4 package they also upgrade the dash. Would the basic dash prevent the ability to select drive modes?

Don't think so. I have the XLT so the 2 gauges and the screen in the middle. Same as yours probably. The offroad screen installed fine. You should be good.

Does the entire center console need to be pulled to get at the switch?

Yes. I like the TM options but TC is the desired goal.....

 

[H2Ocooled]

No

I have my replacement parts arriving soon. How do you remove the buttons from the console?

Thanks!
