Default Things Ford should steal from GM

Don't get me wrong I think the F150 is the best pick up going right now but there are a couple little things I miss from my GMC. I wish Ford had the step bumpers and in models with a centre console the midddle of the console should have an indent so that your phone can rest there without it getting knocked over by your arm. I am sure there are a few other items Ford should poach from other manufacturers.

1. Side view mirrors that tilt down in reverse.
2. Cell phone capability built into the truck. In my area, I have a lot of dropped calls due to poor cell coverage. The GM cell phone feature allowed me to stay in touch regardless of location.
3. Backup lights that actually work, vice poor backup lights and red LED brake light glare in the rear camera.

The Ford F150 is still a better truck overall.

the F150 can have the auto-tilt mirrors. If your truck is equipped with the memory function then I believe it can be set to auto-tilt with Forscan

1.) Seals around the doors
2.) the person / machine that lines up panels / doors to have a nice flush look.

Ford should offer leather appointed seat trim with sport cloth inserts as an upgrade option on the SE

Nothing.

And I hate the look of the cut-out steps on the sides of the GM bumpers.
