I tuned off my radio/heater/nav screen so I could take this wonderful pic showing my beautiful illuminated interior.

I agree, I would've been unhappy with red everything. I like the cool blue.
I think the red needles are a perfect touch.

It's actually one thing I was very happy about. The years previous were all red if I'm not mistaken. I never liked all red.
The only thing I would've liked is the gauges sweeping when it starts. No biggie tho, I get my fix on my Triumph and the Sea Doo.

If everything was all red it would make me think about all those guys who change the light colour. There was a lot on the ranger forum I was in. Kinda ricer-ish IMO.

Ford has a think tank that tells them "cool blue is soothing a driver while they drive". So they put blue.

I believe it. The cool blue is easy on the eye's and I'm not afraid to say, that it's also easy on the soul..
Then the red needles give it that little, "Hey I'm not just a street queen, don't forget".

I absolutely love the interior in our trucks. When I drive or just sit in a new version of a vehicle, usually the older one instantly feels dated.
When I got hit and needed the rear bumper replaced 7 months ago, I drove a 15 for about a week. Thought for sure I'd hate getting back into mine. Wasn't the case at all, still felt new.
That's when I realized I'm not in a rush for a 18, till they refresh the interior as well. I would think 2019 has to be the year they do it. I can't see them going 5 years without something redesigned inside.
I like the face lift they did for 2018, now smooth out the interior and they might just get me into a 19. If not I'll get a deal on a leftover 18.

I drive a 2017 Super Duty at work and I much prefer the interior in it vs. my '12 F150. Even with the SD being just an XL, the radio and steering controls are a really nice improvement vs. the factor stuff in my '12. I like the gauge design better in the SD too. Makes me want to get a new F150 but I like the thought of not having a vehicle payment vs. a new truck.

Yeah, I wouldn't say I didn't like the functionality of the interior. It's just a little too sharp with so many angles.
First world bitching I understand I'm doing now, but there's something about those side vents angled back in, versus straight across or angled down towards the drivers and passenger side window, that just irritates me. I don't know why, but I hate those two damn vents. They look backwards.
I know it's stupid as all hell to pass on a great vehicle for two lousy 20 dollar vents.

I am getting some pretty decent offers from dealer about grabbing a 17.
Surprisingly there's a couple S-cab 5.0's with the fx4 package that is a must for me. Embarrassingly I had a Z71,(last Chevy ever, I hope anyways) then 3 consecutive Fx4's. It's the package that I like to look at and obviously drive.

For the record, I think the f250/350 interior is one of the best looking there is.
