Just got done with all 60 pages and I haven't even signed yet. I took this beauty for a 24 hr test drive last weekend but it's missing a couple of options I want. Waiting to hear back from the dealer on a truck that fits my needs. I can't wait to try all of these tricks out!

It is a little frustrating going from my BMW where everything can be custom coded through the DME, and the Audi where everything just works the way you want, to a truck that I paid MORE for and does not have everything ironed out.
I will say, it is seamless in how you can switch bluetooth audio sources. I have not owned a single Audi BMW or Porsche that has managed to figure that simple friggin task out. My wife's audi you have to turn the current source off, turn the car off and then back on again. It says it has connected to the new source.....but it hasn't. Thank you ford for managing the little things!

Back on topic, if not mentioned, if you drive away with the parking brake engaged, you will get and audible warning plus a message in the cluster.

I thought I asked this before, but perhaps not --
I'm very uneasy backing this beast out of parking spaces, etc. Not used to the cap, for one thing, and overall visibility (maybe because of my age) doesn't seem as good as it was in our 2011 SCAB.
So I would like to get one of the reverse beepers and install it, to warn folks back there that this truck is moving, maybe towards them. I know, those beepbeepbeep things are an irritating pita, but I'd rather irritate someone for a few seconds, than back into granny on her walker!
I've read about some of the add-on replacement bulbs to install in place of the backup lights - do they work? Easy to install? Has anyone out there tried them? Am I alone in this? Whoosh whoosh, is this thing on?
thanks
