Upfitter switches

What are yours hooked up to?

So far on my 08 my number 3 is sending power to my GPS.

I plan on adding some lights in the near future.

#4 switch is hooked up to high-idle. #3 switch is hooked up to backup lights on trailer hitch as well. One of my future mods is to install an on-board air compressor and use either switch 1 or 2 for that.

#4 for the floods on the receiver; #3 to the inverter; #2 is a momentary to open/close the garage; #1 opens a cold beer and brings it to me.
Soon, I will have #5. It will flip up the satellite dish and tune to my favorite channel.

Front hid lights on #1, backup lights mounted on top of the camper top on#2, siren on# 3, and I could use one of those beer opening switches on #4, where can I get one?

I'm new to the F-250, but mine did not come with Upfitter switches. Are all the trucks pre-wired for them? Can I add them relatively easily? I have some aux. lights on the front with the stupid switches that came with the kit and would like to get a factory look with the Upfitter switches. Anyone add these after they bought their truck?

The plugs are already there, it's just plug and play.

Question re: upfitters for an '08

I have an '08 F-250 that did not come with a factory brake controller or upfitters. I'm told that in order to install an OEM brake controller it's necessary to change out the master cylinder, so I think I'll be sticking with my aftermarket controller. However my local Ford dealer tells me that upfitter switches are not available for my truck because it didn't come with the factory brake controller.

Is it possible to install upfitters in an F-250 that didn't come with a factory brake controller? From all I've read I'm doubting what I was told by the dealer.

Your dealer is feeding you a line of bull.
