Adding power fold mirrors
Here is where you guys know tons more than me. Has anyone done either OEM or 3rd party power folding mirrors? I have a customer who wants them and of course Ford says not really. I did a search but didn't see anything specific to the new bodies. Thanks.

On the previous generation trucks, buying the interior switch which had the folding function on the adjuster and the PowerScope switch was required, along with new Left/Right exterior mirrors. The existing harnesses worked fine. So it was just the money for the parts and the install.
I've not pulled apart a 2017 (mine has them, lol). It looks like the window switch controls would have to be purchased again, along with the mirrors. But these work a little differently than before...the power fold button is now a stand-alone button, not part of the adjuster. Additionally, the power fold function is not "hot" when the truck is off. So it is possible the harnesses are different this time. Sorry to not be of more help.
