My ford isn't bad about that. My old Hillux Surf could make you want to pass out at a slight because of exhaust smell though.

Nothing pisses me off more than when someone moves my seat or adjust my stearing column. I'm 6'4" and I feel your pain!

I really like the auto headlamps. It's hard to tell when it turns on but I think I got the hang of it and know when my headlights are on now. I like that it turns on the headlights when you turn on your wipers for more than 1 sec. Besides being the law, it's nice to reach for one control.

I had the auto starter crank on my 4runner and it was great. I usually get into a car and forget I can't just tap it so I have to give it a 2nd try.

The rear sliding window is also great and it doesn't let exhaust fumes into the cabin. You could open the rear window on my old 4runner and that would let exhaust gases in if you were moving.

The only thing I can think of that's useless to me is the sunglass holder as I don't really wear sunglasses. And the stripper pole.

You are.

I don't have a cap and open it whenever possible. I have yet to experience exhaust from the tailpipe 6.5 feet away doing a 180, accelerating to 30-80 mph and focusing a jet stream at the center of the back of my cab!

I call it my "allow the air coming in the windows and moonroof a place to exit the cab so it is quieter and there are no mini-tornadoes in here" switch!

Scab rear doors. They should be fixed to be more like (I can't believe I'm going to say this) Dodge or Toyota.

For those that don't like the autolamp feature, at least it's still optional for you to make that choice. That being said, I'll gladly trade you my STX's light switch and dash insert for your light switch and dash light detector.

I second the vote on "I wouldn't even know my truck had autocrank without reading this thread."

Turn the key, when truck starts, let go of key. Pretty simple. But there are a lot of morons out there.

I like auto-headlamps and auto-dimming mirrors. However, I'm still not getting used to the weird turn signal stalk action. Why can't I have a detent like all other vehicles on the face of the planet? Why does it turn off when I click it in the same direction twice—something I absent-mindedly do often? Why does the turn signal flip to the other side when I'm trying to cancel the turn signal by moving it the opposite direction? Why can't the turn signal act like all other turn signals?

Ford, you reinvented something that didn't need to be reinvented. Fire the manager who approved the turn signal design and move the engineer who hatched the idea back to the third sub-basement and put him or her in charge of fusible links and install a bad ballast in the light above his or her desk.

Amen! Can't tell you how many times I have reflexively thought the turn signal had not engaged because it didn't "catch" and inadvertently turned it OFF with a second flick of the stalk! I like the idea of the half-flick giving a lane-change burst, but they just need to make the length of that programmable and reinstate the detent for holding the turn signal on...

I figured it out when I had a low battery and the truck cranked for about 5 seconds after I let go of the key. I thought I broke it haha
