Anyone find a good source to run 12v power into a 6th gen (2020+) Ford Explorer civilian version? Looking to avoid drilling the firewall but can’t locate a good grommet source.

There should be a very large factory grommet in both sides of the front footwells that you can go though. Unless you have a sunroof in which case the drains are in those factory holes. Pic with blue circle is passenger side w/o sunroof.
On the vehicle I installed with a sunroof I ended up drilling to the right of the drivers side drain, just above the dead pedal. If you pull back the front drivers wheel liner there is a little access hatch you can open to visualize where the drain comes through, You will have to take off the trim panels up in the footwells to visualize the factory grommets.

Thanks for the tips and visual aids. This a good place to start and I will investigate. The vehicle does have a sun roof, so it sounds like I will need to contend with drains.
In the second photo then you can see the drain and then my hole just to the right of it, If you take apart the drivers front wheel liner you can visualize where the drain comes through as you drill. There is actually a small void space where the drain and my hole comes through and you can bring the wiring up to the top of the engine compartment and over to the battery under the cowl.
