Wireless charging, get rid of the '80s mast antenna, new Ram style center screen, remove console shifter.

OK, all you chuckleheads who want a shorter antenna.... there are some of us old farts who live in the stix and like to listen to AM in the middle of the night.
Try that with your beloved stubby.

I don't want a stubby antenna, I want it removed completely. I had a 2006 Honda Accord without a mast antenna (in rear glass) and it got reception just fine. The new '19 Ram has done away with it too.

More gear ratio options. Surprised you can't even get a 4.10 on an F-150 (not counting Raptor). There are plenty of people out there that would happily trade some highway gas-mileage for performance.
More off-road options: Front locker, winch, etc. (again, not including Raptor, and that's limited slip in the front diff anyway).
We need a Ford competitor to the Ram Power Wagon, or at least the options to build one.

Not only that, but they work very well as an ice indicator! When you see ice forming on it, slow down, the roads are next!
4:10? in an F150, for performance? Geez, it's not like the current gen is the fastest F150 ever made, OH Wait, it IS! LMAO I mean if you want your engine screaming at 80 MPH like a 1970's 3 speed, go right ahead.
I would prefer to have 3.15 back in my current truck, may not have been fastest 0-60, but from 50-100 it will kick any other truck out there! To me, that is the most important thing with performance, passing someone on a 2 lane highway with hills. Shorter gears are great for off the line, but once moving, the taller gears are much better for passing. Damn, I miss my old truck!

Yeah, ummm, some people like to change their tire size, which effectively changes gear ratio and reduces performance very significantly. Not everybody drives a stock truck.
Moving just from a 32" tire to a 35" tire, if you had 3.73's originally, you'd need 4.10's just to come out even, and that's not counting overcoming the added weight and rolling resistance. It would be nice if people didn't have to re-gear their trucks in the aftermarket just to run 35's.
And I'm running 4.88's on 37's and at highway cruising (around 60 / 65mph) in 6th gear (.69 transmission ratio) I'm under 2,000 rpms. Hardly "screaming".

Wife refused to buy a model with it.
