2017 Superduty owners - USB/12v connection in cab

[Brother_Bluto]

So last week I placed my order for a 2017 F350 Platinum 6.7L CC SRW SB. One of the things I didn't remember to check on on my test drive was the availability of USB & 12v connections. Coming from my 15 2500HD Denali... I have been a bit spoiled with 5 USB, 3-12v Cigarette, a 120V, SD Card & 3.5mm adapter either on the dash or in the console. There are a couple more power ports on the backside of console for backseat folks as well.

So how many USB/12v ports are available on the 2017 F350? Pictures tell me 2 USB, 1-12v cigarette and a 120 on dash - but are there any in the dash tray or in the console? I know a 12v & 120v on backside of console as well. Not worried about the situation for every day driving, but when the 5th is hooked up I generally have 2 phones, TPMS monitor, RV-specific GPS, Furrion Observation/Backup monitor plugged in and considering a dash cam as well. If what I see is what I get, what are folks using to expand?

Also... how well does the Sync 3 system play with an iPod?

Thanks in advance!

You can now buy cigarette lighter adapters that have 2 USB ports on them.... or those that expand to have expansion options for 4 cigarette lights adapters... possibilities are endless

Yup, that I know. Was just curious as the expanders just add to the clutter.

-Ok, on front dash 12v port and 120v
-On console below controls 2 USB ports . Note to use android auto and I believe apples verions you must plug device here. Without the USB connection your phone only does phone/txt/music stuff
- 2 more 12v ports inside the center console
-2usb , 12v and 120v on back of console for back seat.

Yes USB ports are lacking. Suggest putting in something like this. https://www.amazon.com/Charger-Adapt...sb+car+charger

I put and put it on the dash in the sunken part above the 8" display. https://www.amazon.com/Teslas-3-Sock...sb+car+charger

This powers the backup camera, the Garvin, the wife's cell phone and tablet, etc....
Hope this helps...

You ordered the "Platinum" and I am pretty sure it has more bells and whistles than my Lariat. My truck is a 2014 Lariat, FX-4, longbed, dually, crew cab. I didn't buy it new so I'm not sure what other package or options it was ordered with other than Lariat but........

It has a large lid up on top of the dash that opens up that has 12v, 120v and two usb ports. Then, near the driver's side there's a 12v, on the passenger side there's a 12v and 120v with data port. Inside the console is another 12v. On the back side of the console there's a 12v, a 120v and I believe there's at least one data port (I don't spend any time back there and our two little critters don't use it much.

Again, keep in mind that this is a 14 Lariat. I can go out and snap some pics if you'd like......let me know?

You will love the Iphone with the SYNC 3!!! But as mentioned you have to plug into the USB ports in the front storage console. It can be run on BT but not as useful and no sync video monitor. Everyone who drives with me really likes how the iphone works with ApplePlay.

This works great on my 35 ft sailboat to add 12 volt receptacles. Marine grade.
