Same truck basicly,
The only real differences are I now have Sirius, back up camera, trailer controller, and a V8, oh and this one is Tuxedo Black my '11 was Candy Red.

Except that when you have your weight distribution hitch on all the time like I do. Everytime you back up , you have to turn off the back up warning chime (annoying).
Now if you have a standard hitch it is fine? You would have thought Ford did some in depth research on trailer hitches:head scratch:
Oh well I'm used to it now.
The best part is the colored windows that pop up when backing up!-that works sweet.

You know when you see the runway on the screen with the driving lane. When backing up you will see green shades then yellow and finely red. They pit up in different sections as you approach an object. Mines a 14, so I assume all with the backup camera have it? Now I don't have Nav, but have the small screen which has 4 buttons above the CD slot. The two middle buttons control the camera backup colored blocks and the other zoom. The left button is the colored sensor button- turn it on or off.

Is your back up camera in the rear view mirror? Might be slightly different compared to the trucks with the myford touch but I do believe there is a way to turn them on/off in the productivity screen under vehicle settings.

You have to enable them. You can access these features on the screen in your gauge cluster. I have a 13 xlt with camera display in the rear view mirror. I don't know the menu it's under off the top of my head or I would be more specific.

I don't know if I'd say it was a step down, but for one I was never all that impressed with the gas mileage and I missed that V8 Growl plain and simple plus I saved a thousand dollars and can put a nice cat back exhaust on and make it sound great.
