You are going to have to let the dealer look at it. May have to have a software re-flash.

I was considering getting this so I could leave my CC secured in the truck, but just can't justify loosing every bit of space in there and having to unlock it each time I need something. Seems like a bit of a miss IMO.

Is there a way to view photos from an SD card on the 8 in display? This would be great for checking trail cam photos. Did some searching for this and didn't find much and haven't had a chance to try it yet.

You can probably do this using a USB adapter that holds the SD card...

Only if the size is compatible with the MFT, I think the pictures have to be 500x300, not sure but you can get the correct size if you search this forum for MFT wallpaper. If you take the pictures on your phone's camera you maybe able to format them. Transfer to a jump drive to view them.

The tow/haul button is now tow/sport. Push it once for tow/haul, then again for sport. Good for when your late & need to drive the truck like it's a mustang

Had my truck since April played with the tow/sport for the first time today as when I first read the manual when I got the truck it seemed very complicated to me, push once for tow or twice for sport and some other code for normal.. Or was it twice for tow and once for sport and three times for normal?

Turns out it very simple it does one of three things one after another. Every time you push the button it goes to the next thing tow, then sport then normal replete as needed.

Why did they make it sound so hard or is it just my 71 year old brain playing tricks on me again?

aint that the truth, seems like a totally different truck in sport!

I kept looking at the boost and trying to figure out where all that extra power was coming from. Felt like much more than different shifting.

If ya wana really get crazy double tap your traction control. Turns off traction control and turns on sport mode. Now step on the brakes and spool up the turbos by bringing your rpm's up to 1500 or more. Let go the brake and hammer the accelerator.

Watch out cause she may get sideways.
