I will never understand why they cant make the truck level during production... who wants a rake?

also, whats with all these cameras and parking aids? are we catering these trucks towards women now?? if you cant park a truck without a 360 degree camera then you shouldn't have purchased such a big vehicle... just my $.02....

Well not a single truck today has a 360 camera never mind Fords, and we all manage to park fine.
You want rake if you tow or haul decent amounts so if you're using a truck for that which is what most do, then you are going to want a rake.
I hate when people say **** like this. It's innovation so technology will progress in all fronts. Go email ford and tell them how you think they should scrap the camera and consumers don't 'need' it.
Then think of it from a business aspect. You're ford, you stop putting in new features. Not only does this make you the laughing stock of the world but you of course lose that amazing 'best selling vehicle for 30 some years' award in a matter of seconds. If you don't out do your competition you disappear.
Kind of a stupid statement.

The rake is so that when you have any considerable amount of weight in the bed or hauling a trailer the nose of the truck isn't looking up at the sky (it's level when loaded)


Leveled trucks look retarded with their nose looking skyward (reverse retard rake if you will) with anything in the bed.


And wtf is wrong with having a 360 degree camera view? Would you prefer not having it? Simple solution is don't check that option box or if you have it don't look at the screen.

Agreed.
I'm levelling mine 2.5" in the front but also replacing the rear block with a 3".
Now I'll have the higher and meaner stance and added clearance but when I tow or haul I won't be nose high.

just as many ****ty men drivers out there too!!! Like others said, the nose down look is so that it will be level when loaded. Another reason is because auto manufacturers must maintain a certain front bumper height for crash safety purposes.

Soon it will be law for new cars to come with cameras if certain people have their way.

I have no problem with it because I have 3 little ones running around at home and it's just another safety feature. I like the cameras.

Don't want to be the bad guy everyone but ill just post this from page #1/post#1 "This thread is for pictures only of the 2015 F150. Photoshopped, taken from the internet, taken at the show, given to you by a martian, ect..."

Don't get me wrong, I am all for discussing the pro's and cons of the new truck. It just bugs me when you go to a thread devoted to pictures and have to weed through a ton of comments and bickering to find them lol.

Again....not trying to be the bad guy. Just saying
