When you see me at Menards on 13 with the neurotic left and right blinker action, you'll know what is going on....

I'd probably say that too. At least the ConsoleVault is a decent way to fix that, although it would be nice if Ford had a reinforced lock that would stand up to a crowbar, forcing Jack Crackhead to resort to a cutting wheel if he wanted in.

Mine was $20 from eBay lol

Are you kidding? wtf would you want the scab doors to not open? I would shoot myself if I had to crawl behind the seat everytime I needed in the back

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!
I like your switch much better than mine, want to trade?

Default Useless Fog Lamps

Ever notice that even when adjusted correctly, all fog lights do is reflect off of the fog and the glare makes it more difficult to discern what was already challenging? Better yet, the clown who thinks the extra light on a typical night is benefiting him, while nearly incapcitating oncoming traffic.
Turn 'em off and leave 'em off! You know you turned 'em on to show your coolness...

not a big fan of the reverse sensing feature, especially if you haul a trailor a lot. drive me nuts to have to turn it off everytime i get in the truck you think theyd have a permanet disengage switch in the control panel. i mean the xlt's dont have it. also hate that a blade of grass can set it to screaming.

another thing- it would be great if the usb port was inside the center console on the fx4 and lariat flow through console. i hate having to unplug it and stick it in the console when i park the truck. i like things to stay hidden.

I meant so that they open the same direction as the front doors lol. I have 4 kids, and its a pain to try to load/unload all of them if someone is parked next to you.
