It may have already been discussed on this thread, but if you walk up to the locked truck with the fob in your pocket, when you grab the handle, it unlocks. Pretty straight forward. BUT you can also get out and lock the truck with the fob in your pocket by touching the black button only on the door handle. Of course the key pad is right there too. Also, the handle unlock and black button lock only works if the fob is outside the truck.

Shucks, it has THREE driver/seat memory buttons, why not have THREE fobs. That way if you are brave/stupid enough to have two wives, they can both have a fob. OR if you have multiple personalities, you can grab whichever fob you want and have the seat set to old guy, normal, or gansta. Or if you don't want to spend the bucks on a 3rd fob, just duck tape it to the roof in the spot on the video that MGD tagged.

I was loading items into the bed last night and had to use the LED bed lights for the first time. Not only does the switch turn on the LED's in the bed and on the High Mounted Stoplight above the rear window, it also turns on the LED puddle lamps that shine down from the mirrors (I have the tow mirrors, I assume the std mirrors do this also). Add in the fact that you can click the switch for the mirror side spotlights and you have most of the area lit up around the truck for working in the dark. All without having the engine running and not draining much from the battery.

I noticed today that the center console under the arm rest is cooled when AC is running. I can feel the AC blowing with my hand near passenger seat and at the very front of the console from inside. I assume this is normal? I started putting my sunglasses in there so they cool down when I auto start in a hot parking lot.

If you go to camera settings in touchscreen and press "On" for Rear Camera Delay, it will not immediately turn off the 360 camera and back up camera when you take it out of reverse. Great for when you are doing 3-5 point turns.

Problem solved! This is the only use I've found for remote tailgate thus far loll.

lol.....i bet this would work when you want to dump something illegally too. Just pop and roll!!!

I changed the oil on my 5.0 last weekend and notice there is a built in funnel to catch and direct the oil under the oil filter. Nice touch by Ford.

If you have the flow through center console, you might like turning your storage space into a safe. http://www.consolevault.com/Ford-F15...l#.VS12DfnF8eh I put it in my truck and I realy like it. The tumbler combination could be a little bigger for ease of use, but this is the first time that I have had a way to secure things when I go to the car wask or go in for maintenance.
