If Ford called you tomorrow asking for one design change… what are you telling them

Another would be to add a hybrid status display into MyView. Show energy flow and battery charge level.

Great point that’d make a huge difference for PowerBoost owners. Surprised they didn’t build that into MyView from the start.
You think a Forscan tweak or software update could make that happen, or would it need to be a full firmware change

I really dislike how that mpg screen goes from 0-40mpg. Ain't nobody getting anywhere NEAR 40 mpg in these things!
More powerful hybrid system.
Flex fuel from the factory is an obvious one.

Right? That 0–40 MPG gauge is pure optimism. Maybe downhill with a tailwind and the engine off!
Totally with you on the flex fuel and stronger hybrid system Ford’s got the platform, just needs to lean into it more.

How about the ability to take a RCSB truck to KR trim level. Sure would be nice to have all of the cameras, lights, and extra options on these trucks from the factory, and not have to add them in parts and pieces at a time.

Amen to that! Give me a short bed with all the KR goodies cameras, lights, leather, the whole deal. A “King Ranch Sport” RCSB would sell like crazy

Simplify your lineup, reduce the number of unique parts, and invest in a higher level of quality for those components.

I'd rather less features for a rock solid truck. Ford would easily make their money back on reduced warranty costs.

Exactly! Sometimes it feels like they’re chasing “feature lists” instead of long-term quality.
A simpler lineup with shared components could make these trucks bulletproof and probably easier to work on too

Get rid of B&O as a sound system vendor and replace with something like Bose.

Yep, “premium” system that somehow still sounds like it’s missing a sub half the time.
Bose or even a partnership with someone like Harmon/Kardon would be sweet

Bought my wife a new 2025 Atlas Premium R Line...has the HK...and is worthless. I sell audio for a living. My factory base Toyota Highlander sounded better.

For Ford, power seats in all trims. STX is a top seller, add powered seats...

Haha wow when someone who sells audio says the HK is worthless, that says a lot
Totally agree on the power seats too. For how popular the STX is, it’s wild they haven’t made that standard yet

Trust me, I love a lot of what JBL does, I even have their Party Box at home (thing jams) but most OEM "super systems" are lacking, or it takes 13 speakers to have good surround sound. I know this Atlas has a sub, but in order to even hear it, I have it 70% up on the EQ settings. And still will probably swap it out.

Yea Ford now has the bigger screen, so cant add that as a want, its there. But powered seats cant be that hard to add. I mean, they MSRP for $60k!

Allow usage of truck cameras to function as a dashcam.

For a HUD. Have the driving speed turn from white to orange when you are 1-5 over the limit. Then red for 6+ over. Better yet let us users adjust those speed options on our own. Add another BLIS indicator to the HUD.

I would like to see 4wd auto standard across line up and the mirrors raised a little and maybe mirrors a little larger.

Now that’s an interesting combo! A lighter 2.7 paired with a beefier hybrid setup could be a killer balance of power and efficiency.
Wonder how that would stack up against the 3.5 PowerBoost in real-world towing and MPG?

What you gain in weight saving from the engine you will give back in battery and motor mass. But I would think it would be a good trade.

Couldn’t agree more OEM “premium” systems always seem to be 80% marketing, 20% sound tuning.
And I’m with you on the power seats. For what these trucks cost now, stuff like that shouldn’t even be optional

100%! That’s such a no-brainer feature. The cameras are already there just give us the ability to record!
Would be awesome if Ford added that through a software update or even a subscription option.
