Well, for another thing, with a manual t-case, Ford could sell a ton to folks who want to tow a vehicle behind their RV who end up buying a Jeep because they need 4wd for some reason or another.

They could always make the push button start an option on the higher trim levels. I had a new Lariat as a Loaner while mine was getting warranty work done. Hated the push button start. It'll likely keep me in an XLT when I decide to buy new or newer. It was honestly one of the few things I didn't like.

The other was the plethora of buttons everywhere. Didn't do anything my truck didn't, but had more than twice the amount of buttons. Looked cluttered.

I'd like to see a reverse camera that doesn't get so dirty as often, and can be switched on indefinitely while driving forward.

I'd also like to see some actual 18-24 volt outlets that are capable of charging cordless power tools in the cab..

It would also be nice to have Ford send these trucks out with a little more lift upfront, at least 1 inch more.

And ditch the Now common 3.31 gear ratio for a more practical 3.55 to 3.73.

Front tow hooks as an option (or as part of some tow package option) on 2wd trucks. I get it why 4wd have them but do not understand why the truck most likely to get stuck (a 2wd) doesn't have good attachment points as some kind of factory option on the front of the vehicle to help with recovery. Yeah you can retro-fit them but it's a real chore. Sure you can attach a tow line under the front but then say goodbye to the front trim/bumper...

I have a 2018 Lariat with 502a package and ~7000km on it.
This is what I would like to see in the new trucks. I think it'll be 2020 or 2021 when they redesign it again.
Not everyone will like it but this is what I would like to see in a somewhat luxry half ton truck.

- Heads up display on the windshield that shows navigation and speed among other things. Some higher end vehicles have this already.
- Cooled rear seats
- Better infotainment system. Car manufacturers need to give up on the infotainment software. Let the companies who specialize in this, make the software. I understand the infotainment system is very specific to the options in the car, but they can contract it out to someone. Or use Android.
- Better Infotainment screen. the 2018 screen is a huge step up from a 2014 screen, but they can do better. An ipad or Galaxy Tab s3, level of screen Yes it will be expensive.
- Fully digital Instrument cluster with even more adjustments to personalize it.
- V8 Ecoboost or V8 Supercharged
- Dual exhaust on the V8
- Auto tailgate up - Similar to the new dodge
- Digital keyfob that shows if the truck is locked or unlocked, time remaining on remote start etc...

That's all I can think of. Love the new 2018 by the way. A lot of people hate "all this technology" in these new trucks. i.e. the infotainment screen, stop and go, collision assist etc.... All these people don't understand that this is where the car industry is heading.

Less self-centering effect effect from the steering wheel.

Go on the dodge forums and the guys there complain all day about the cylinder deactivation lol I love the push button start too

i dont understand the hate for the push button? I had it in my focus st and it was great. i would like the console shifter to remain an option even in higher tiers, the 110 in the bed would be nice, and the reclining heated cooled back seat makes sense. i can certainly see the desire for manual locking hubs and t-case.

Agree. I've yet to hear or read a single reason for doing away with push-button start. Simple and convenient.
