You're saying that you have a way to lock the wife away in a car and simply walk away? Why isn't GM advertising this feature for the Corvette?!?

I let the Wifey read this Russ, she said "Gee, thanks".

No problem.


I'm just saying, the potential of this feature is priceless.

Ok...you're regretting your purchase because you have to unlock the doors so your passengers can get out? How hard is it for you to press unlock?

First, I shouldn't have to press anything for anyone to get out of the truck, stupid design but probably done because of some lawyer, somewhere.

I'm regretting my purchase because after having the truck for a month I'm finding out more about it that I don't like, like I said, it's my fault for not knowing what I should have asked. I like the simple straight forward layout of my 2000 superduty xlt and also the f150 doesn't ride any better that my superduty, which really upsets me. I will trade this truck in on a 1999-2004 superduty with a gas motor, expensive lesson, not the first.

If people like the f150, more power to them, and please don't take this as I'm cutting down your truck, these new trucks are just not for me, it will be used trucks from now on.

Maybe some can help me make this truck a little better for me, is there any way to do away with the lcd instrument cluster? Is there a way to change the my sync radio out for a regular am/fm/cd?

Nothing magically changed from the time that you 1st test drove and/or looked-over the vehicle so ...

It has crossed my mind to just let them repossess it. This is the first truck I have bought off a lot, I usually always ordered mine to get a manual trans/xfer.

Sounds like you may have a technology phobia. You're probably right, you may be better off going back to a 99-03 truck.
