What do you use Aux switches for in a Raptor?

[Mattfusa]

As a future new Gen 3 Raptor owner I am new to Aux switches on this truck, what are they typically used for and what are some that are essential to be added.

Off road lighting and winches are the most common, I've seen radar detectors, dash cams, easy way control power to various other electronics ect. Just make sure to check the amp for each switch ect.

Lights mostly but a smoke screen would be nice.

i know they may be different with the 2021 but if I wanted to hook to a dashcam, where are the leads?

That’s the best!!!! . Does the raptor button transform you into grimlock?

what dashcam are you going with? I am waiting for the Blackvue 900X Plus to come out around the holidays to snag, hopefully.

I have the Blackvue 900s-2 ch in my current truck now. wired straight to the fusebox.

I wouldn't use a aux switch for a dashcam. I would use a MirrorTap instead (https://blendmount.com/mirrortap).

depending on your use case, a separate battery might be a good option to be able to record when the vehicle is off if you happen to park outside often.
