Hey everyone, I did not notice if this has been asked yet.
With the console shifter is there a way to turn the indicator on to show which gear your in? on the left of the shifter
on my 2013 f150 there was an orange/red indicator beside the shifter showing what position it was in, my 2016 does not, is there a setting or ?
Thanks!

No it does not do it.
The letters/numbers are backlit but there is nothing there to indicated what gear is selected.
Instead, the selected gear shows at the bottom of the instrument display.

That's very helpful
I have a 157.
It's 3ft longer than my previous truck.
It took me about a week to get accustomed to pulling 3 feet further forward before reversing into a parking space.
I can usually reverse into a space in 1 maneuver so long as I pull forward the extra distance first.
I have cameras/sensors on my 2015 Lariat and I find it easier to park than my previous truck.

Thanks for the tip, I'm just used to checking it, it's a surprisingly hard habit to break

Here's something that is probably in the manual but if you have a 2.7L EB if you have the steering my wheel turned too much the start/stop feature will disable itself. I thought my wheels were straight tonight at a drive through and I was wondering why it wasn't turning itself off. So I went into the production screen where it tells the engine status and it said the steering angle was too great or something like that so I went into the off road status screen and they were turned to the right 20 degrees. Turned the wheel back to about 5 degrees and it turned the engine off. I guess that's because it kills the power steering with the engine off it doesn't want you to try to accelerate after the engine is off when you can't turn the wheel.

I'm notoriously cheap especially when I am buying accessories. So when looking for a tonneau cover I noticed that the prices of the 2015+ model covers is substantially higher than the 04-14 trucks. I took out my measuring tape and all the interior dimensions of my 5.5' box are the same as the previous model. So I bit the bullet and ordered a 2014 cover. It fits perfect.
So if you're looking for a tonneau maybe look at one for the older model year as they are probably the same just less money.
