I believe you have to set the trailer up. Once the trailer is set up, and saved in the truck, it knows how long the trailer is, and BLIS works then with the 2017 trucks

How long has the cooled-seat fiasco gone on for? The exploding rear window? The leaking and rattling sun-roof. The frozen door locks (which was eventually fixed) Etc, etc...


There's lots of things FORD refuses to fix that are more than a year old.

Good point. Except you talk like every truck has these issues. I've had none of these issues in my truck (admittedly I don't have cooled seats though). My guess, most of those issues were on the 2015. By time my 2016 was manufactured Ford had perfected things. So my point still stands.

That is correct, when you set your trailer up in a '16 in only enables pro backup assist.

Okay so I copied my entire message which you quoted into notepad++ and did a word search. At no point anywhere in my comment, that you quoted, did I use the word "BLIS".

So no, I am not wrong. I said backup sensors are disabled, which I took right from 2017 manual. So maybe read next time before you reply to someone and quote their comment.

BLIS is BLInd Spot monitoring, it is not the reverse sensors.

I'm pretty sure 400/400 will be met or surpassed on the new 5.0.

There's seems to be a demand for dull colors.


Parking Lots are full of dull colors.

I wouldn't mind avalanche on the sport package F150's. Though I think ford leaves that as a special color for the mustang and raptor.

Lead foot looks like a rebranded lithium, I bet there may be a shade or two lighter/darker difference maybe. To me the f150 color wheel could use some new blood, the only colors I care for are race red or avalanche.

Magma might be interesting though if it is like the new crimson on the 18 mustang.

Stone Gray and Lead Foot seem real close in color and from a distance you could throw in Guard. The Magma Red looks interesting.

Chance are only a subset will be offered in the Platinum. I read that Dark Marsala will be an interior option on the Platinum, not sure what else. And I believe the Navy Pier is a color reserved for the Limited.
