Default Two options I WISH F150 had...

I test drove the crap out of a Dodge before finally buying my F150. It was the Laramie Longhorn package -- similar to the King Ranch version. Only two things I didn't like about that truck was that it was the Kodiak brown (just couldn't commit to the color), and the driver and touch screen on the F150 was SO much clearer and easier to read.

There were two things on that truck I WISH I could get, though...

1. It had two glove boxes. One where ours is, and the other right above it where the airbag resides. That would be a nice option.

2. There were these really COOL storage areas in the floorboards in the rear of the crew cab, below the floor mats. Open a hatch for each one. Had a removable bucket in each, so they could be used for tools, as a cooler, whatever. Love that idea.

Ford, are you listening?

Yep, forgot about that. I'm more about the cooled seats than the heated wheel!

I wish F150 had the Tundra rear window that opens fully. Other than that Ford does trucks better then the rest.

Yeah, I wouldn't have had the ability to purchase the king ranch or even lariat but I would be digging the cooled seats. Those long drives..... Not fun, or hot days.

push button start is nifty but a novelty unless they also have proximity keys
heated steering wheel is an interesting thought.
I love the idea of the front camera though.... my 4x4 is tall as hell and though I've gotten used to the size for parking my poor short wife has a terrible time with parking spaces with it.
the second glove box, or at least a useful glove box would be a plus. with everything else being massive on the truck how can the glove box be so tiny and useless?
I have cooled seats already. is it a rare thing?
more storage gets my vote though. I have the short bed and dont want to get a box, so internal storage would be terrific.

Got those seats. But where I live, we have alot of mornings now at -20c to -30c. Two of my buddies have Rams and the heated wheel is a great option. Hope our 2015's have them

The new F-150 will have in-floor storage. As far as the dual glove boxes? Meh, the console is huge anyway.

What I wish the F-150 had was a heated steering wheel (But it doesn't bother me that it doesn't have one, I have driving gloves that do the job on a cold day) and a digital in-dash speedometer readout. It sounds like Ford is listening to us though, the new 2015 F-150 has most of these features.

I wish mine had an option for a turret flamethrower that I'd use on all the Silverado and RAM driving d-bags in my city who try to race me in heavy traffic.
