Push button start or Key
Lol. They key does the same thing anyway. You'd be surprised how much is still running in the truck when you shut it off, key or IA FOB.

My wife and I have one of each, hers being PBS. This 59 YO guy couldn't care less, as long as it starts.
Edit: Probably when I decide to get rid of my 2012 PLat, the next vehicle will be PBS, as I'll replacing the current truck with a Lariat or above.

My wife's car is push button start and mine has the key. It is nice that you don't have to remove the keys from your pocket to unlock/lock doors and start engine. I do wish my truck had it.
I really wish Ford would move to a start system like on my wife's Audi Q7...the entire fob is placed into a slot next to the steering column to start the vehicle. Ferrari and a few others also use this. I like it over anything else I have seen or used..... BUT if I am limited to what Ford offers, lol, I prefer push button start.....which i dont have.

When I bought my truck the finance manager tried for 10 minutes to sell me extended coverage. He kept pointing out how much gadgetry there is on new vehicles that have no long term reliability proven. Good thing he wasn't selling the truck. But, I could still walk. I can remember when the big push was for credit life insurance. I guess they wore that one out or it became illegal or something.
