The F-53 chassis is big, burly, dependable and rugged. You just cannot kill it. It is , however, not a Ferrari. Out of the box, they handle like overloaded bread trucks. Sure, Ford puts generic,...

Safe-T-Plus
It should cost about 400.00 for the stabilizer, and another 200.00 for the front-end alignment and installation. My 2014 Vegas 24.1 handles much better now, and the added safety during a tire blowout...

extra wiring
That wiring is for the flux capacitor. If time travel is what you prefer to road travel, this is where you connect. It does provide 1.21 gigawatts of electricity, so be careful.

The model I replaced the 212T with is a Jensen JRV215NR. You will also need the Siruis tuner for $35.00, if you want Sirius reception. The head unit was $600.00, but you really do need the 3 camera...
