It's still a new product for us. We don't typically discount the new products for the first 6 months after release. Though, come see us in Pigeon Forge in August, they will be running a show special.
In the test we did, it was sufficient to allow the stream to shoot out towards the wheel and finish draining without spilling on top of the skid. Ours is a '21, but I don't think the drain location has changed. The oil filter on the other hand, horrible design.
Not sure where you read it won't fit 25+26. There should be no fitment issues. The only review I see on Amazon mentions the front mounting holes. The OE intercooler mounts (where the skid plate mounts) have a decent amount of play from the factory. They can be loosened and adjusted.
And yes...
Like @Brian_B stated, if you just want them on with the lighting cicuit, this is how we instruct to wire them. If you want to be able to switch them on and off, use the upfitter.
A year or so ago when we were developing the V1, these weren't available. Glad to see Ford has finally caught up to their production on replacement parts.
If I recall, those parts aren't available on their own. You have to buy a bigger part of the top to get them. As an altrnative, @IAG Off-Road has an EZ LIft and Pull combo that will replace those parts and give you more usability as a benefit.

Thanks for considering the best product to resolve Ford's lack of attention, lol. There have been extreme cases of side windows breaking in sub-zero temps. Aside from that, they are meant to flex. The EZ lift increases the opening slightly, but no more than you could lift it by hand with the...
We have gotten no complaints about it working with this system, but I can't positively confirm it will work. I am not aware of any fitment complaints with our tables and slideouts TBH.
