New 2020 owner here. Got the Limited but with the 203A and Tow package. I couldn't get past the 22" wheels so I swapped it out for 18"s. I am loving the bronze!

I tapped fuse 15. It’s a 15 amp that runs the cruise control, camera and voltage quality control. What ever that is. I only need 2 amps for the Switch-Pros ignition sensing lead. Not sure what you need for the Triggered.

That should be enough, just wanted to play it safe with a fuse that if it were to blow, it wouldn't disable a major function of the vehicle. I'll move it over and give it a shot.

Amazon sells some decent ones, there’s a few dudes that custom paint them also but be ready to put out $200-300 for them
This is who I use for mine. With the new Blue 2020 not sure I will do them.

How well do these actually adhere? Are there ripples around the edges after you lay the sticker out? I’ve seen issues with these where ppl can’t get the sticker to sit 100% flush since the oval is convex
Just like any other vinyl a little heat goes a long way. Line it up, apply to the center, push side, then top and bottoms, then smooth out best you can. Heat gun on low around the edges in a sweeping motion, or a hair dryer if you don’t have a heat gun. The trick is to hit it lightly. It will pul it tight. Take your time.
I have done my 2015, 2017, 16 Edge, and have a set for my 2020 Explorer, but haven’t applied them yet. When I do, I will take a pic.

Upgraded my back up camera...

Haha, if you are in the industry that's not necessarily a complement. [emoji38] But in all seriousness they do make some killer gear. We are a camera support company so we adapt to anything they want to use. The FX9 (used here) is basically a mini Venice (their $90k cinema camera) and the A7SIII is basically a pocket Venice. 120fps in 4k @10bit 4.2.2 internally and in RAW on an external recorder for under $5k in an mirrorless body with in body stabilization is absolutely insane and game changing. Sony is killing it right now on prosumer video gear.
Sorry to nerd out.... The A7sIII has got us camera nerds buzzing and I just watched the launch video/review for it.

I thought this was a super bike rack realized it was a camera after I read the other post

Aren't you afraid someone will drive into those cameras? I've only driven around in Nola once and a woman in a Honda Civic dozed off and plowed into the rear end of our SuperDuty at a red light.

Do you notice any difference in ride or mpg? Been thinking about this for a bit.

The rear and steering wheel ones are too small for my 2019 Expedition. Very disappointed with them. Front was fine, but I have a couple small creases that I could not avoid.

My wife shoots with the a7riv. I’m more excited to see what the a9iii is going to bring to the table, but appears we have different uses for the camera. Sony is killing it overall, IMO.

It’s a piece of plastic, it’s not going to affect ride quality or mpg and anyone who tells you it will is an idiot. I took mine off and only thing I noticed is the trucks looks wayyyy better from the front now

Actually, it does affect MPG albeit likely unnoticeable. The air dam or valence affects downforce and coefficient of drag, therefore affecting efficiency or HP required to move the vehicle. Simple research will show that. You can easily find images of air flow, pressure and efficiency of aerodynamics on vehicles for a visual reference.
