I know they put the grab handle on the drivers side finally!!

Cruse control looks like you can operate it without having to take you eyes off the road to turn it on.

Smart key finally

Front camera (and more)

Lane change warning!!

Automatic High Beams ( I love that for my night blindness)

I guess the new truck is basically answering all my gripes!!! Alright Ford!

Front hub vacuum line pops off lifted vehicle in winter? Particularly on lifted trucks. C'mon, make a clamp for these already. Anyone have a home remedy for this one?


Mrs Sync is annoying and unforgiving/inflexible? She alone may be responsible for most cases of road rage.


Factory remote start has equivalent range as door unlock? Or greater than 50'?


Ecoboost plugs last longer than 30k miles?

The 5.0 has an oil dipstick extension! Granted it is only 3" long, it will still make it easier to check the oil level. My 2011 5.0 was a pain in the butt to reach.

Backup camera seems good in total darkness, course we have snow on the ground so it's brighter out.

My remote start works from my chair at work so it's good enough for me. Range seems decent.

My last F150 was over 8 years old so this one seems like a dream.

Depending on the year these folks have a good fix for the blend door.

In the 2015, remote start seems to have plenty of range. I can start the truck from about 50 yards away.

Did they finally add a low washer fluid warning light to join the rest of the vehicles from 1970 onward?
