I believe ford has stated that there is less headroom in trucks equipped with the dual pane moonroof. I honestly can't tell though. My truck has more than enough head room.

Awesome and I do get a knock when on the brick road I live on no problems on standard paved roads. Other than that I wouldn't buy a crew without it!

Yep, what he said. I'm 6'3" and have no issue. I do not have my seat all the way down either.

After having an 08 Edge LTD, I had no doubts or concerns about leaking, noises, etc.

The first time I sat in the back of a 2016 F150 Platinum with one, I thought, 'Wow, I won't get this view from the driver's seat. This is HUGE back here!'

I was grinning like a fool

If it wasn't for the fact I purchased an off the lot truck I wouldn't have choose the option. However, it's been great and trouble free. Have 3000 miles on he truck and it's been raining for weeks.

Mine also has been trouble free. Taken it though many car washes and no problems. 1 time I did see a drip on the side, but from reading here I understand this to be normal. Plus it was just 1 drip. My biggest gripe is that I can't have it open all the way at higher speeds over 55mph as it sounds like a helicopter is hovering right on top of me. If I open it just 3/4 then everything is fine. Is this normal as its the first moon roof I've had?

This one does sound different fully open at speed than my previous car's did. The F150's have that piece of mesh fabric as a wind buffer and it doesn't seem to do as well of buffering the wind noise as much as my Altima did. The Altima has a little metal bar that raised up when you had the moon roof that didn't flap around as much as the mesh does on the truck.

If you are talking about the panorama roof, yes it is normal. Normal sunroofs in other cars I've had required cracking a rear window to compensate for the air draw or you'd get this uncomfortable buffeting in your ears. Most car manuals I've read even mention it. The larger sunroof amplifies this effect a little bit.

Maybe that's why they made the powered rear slider. :-) I open mine with the moon roof open and the problem is solved.
