Thank you very much for your research.

Nothing Major, but I was trying my darndest to figure out how to lock the center console. (flow through console and pust start). In the manual, the page with center console says nothing about the key to lock it. So, I flipped to the pages discussing the actual key fobs. Low and behold, there is a physical hard key hidden in the fob, which allows you to not only get in the drivers door if fob stops working, but also allows you to lock the center console. (so far I have not found in the manual that actually states it does this, but it in fact does lock the console)

My dealer gave me a regular key which will also lock the center console.

Low and behold! This key was in the little cubby above the center stack. Did not notice until yesterday when I let my windows down, and saw the reflection of the white tag on it blowing from the wind ! lol

Just got my 2015 Lariat FX4 loaded to the max with the Sport Appearance Package yesterday and coming from a GM guy that's never owned a Ford or thought he ever would - I have a technology boner! This site is almost as amazing as this truck. I'm going to the truck and trying some of these tricks out for sure. Thanks for all the write ups here guys!

I came from a 2006 Toyota Tacoma and know EXACTLY how you feel!!

(My kids are starting to complain about how much I talk about this truck, however now one of them wants to learn how to drive it. And she's shown very little interest in learning to drive, and was concerned about the size of my wife's pathfinder she expected to be learning on!)

A nice little tip I noticed yesterday was a quick push of the washer button on the wiper stalk gives one swipe of the wipers for those misty rains or quick splashes.

I have a 15 King Ranch with the tech pkg. I thought when the A/C was set on Auto and the cabin is hot inside when you remote start the A/C would blow max cold and the seat coolers would activate. Mine do not. Am I doing something wrong? The fan speed does come up to a higher setting but not like Max and the seat coolers do not come on.
I just got the truck last week and I am still trying to figure out all of the features.
