My XLT still uses a key to start, so no worries.

Well, this is working about 1/2 of the time.
I'm totally puzled as to when the tailgate is locked, and when it's open.

I just found another hidden storage compartment...quite by accident! I don't recall it being mentioned in here, but I prolly just missed it. Anyway, I have the center console, without the shifter. As I was removing my wallet from the large bin where the floor shifter would be, the liner stuck to it, and came out with my wallet. Low & behold, a "false bottom" under the liner! It's a decent size, good for smaller phones, wallets, keys, etc.. How cool! The storage possibilities in the cab of this truck are down right amazing!

just noticed by accident - if you just tap the button at the end of the windshield washer stem, the wipers wipe just a single time. I had meant to hold the button longer to squirt fluid on the window.

I'm sure there have been several posts about the navigation system. I have searched 100's of pages and can't find anything on how to get the turn by turn to come up in the instrument cluster screen where the digital mph screen is. Please Help. Thanks. GREAT forum.

You have to pick it as one of the things you want to have displayed instead of something else like the digital speed when you push the button on the steering wheel.

Why did they place a limit on how many you can have on your list I don't know. Just another dumb Ford idea.

Thanks but I can't find an option for it. Is it called something else? I see under navigation I have just the compass option. What am I missing?

I discovered this as well a while back and now use it a lot when I just need to wipe once.
