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

[Davidwnuc]

Sell a truck that doesnt need OTA or FRDS updates to work correctly….you know…like way back in the day…2020 I believe.

Fix it so I don’t have to select eco mode every damn time I get in my truck. It‘s dumb.

And so I don't have to select Sport mode every time I get in the truck. What's ECO mode BTW?

I have a very low end truck, 23 RCSB

The edges of the (inside, center) rear view mirror are not polished, painted, whatever they do to less cheap mirrors. It creates a prism effect for, say 1/8 all around the mirror edge. The color varies, a lot of yellow, and a whole lot of that particular police light blue. So I look, move my head a smidge, catch the shine of the prism, in police blue... and then have to look back to search the main area for the cop, JIC.

make the adaptive cruise work predictably. Mine finds false speed limits, no sign needed, interprets route number signs as speed limits and brakes aggressively. Or be able to turn that function off and keep the following distance function functional.

I've got a Lightning with the same system and mine did that when it saw our Hwy 90 sign, let me tell you, when 536hp and 775lb-ft instant torque kicks in, in traffic,... well, luckily I was wearing my brown pants.

a DEF free, reliable diesel powerboost. Real world 30-35mpg with lots of torque and electricity would be sweet!

Shockingly, some of us don't actually want to smell nasty diesel exhaust and appreciate those SCR systems.

It's easy enough to turn off the speed assist. My adaptive cruise works just fine without it.

I know now, happened right after I got it on the way home from the dealer.

1) 2.7, 3.5 or 5.0 diesel or hybrid diesel
2) Get rid of the folding shifter unless work surface is standard on all trims.
3) Get rid of the chrome inside (I am not against but when the sun shine at the specific angles and blind you)
4) 2k propower on board, bed lights and camera as standard.
5) make heated steering wheel standard on XLT. Even Ford XLT/Actives have them.

Make an HVAC system that doesn’t stink. I know it can be done. So do it for pitty’s sake.

Number 2: There's zero need to ever fold it if you don't have the work surface. I did it once on the test drive and once to show the wife and it hasn't been down since.

Number 5: Yes. So much yes. The wife's small midrange Hyundai has a heated steering wheel for cripes sakes. It definitely should be standard on the XLT 302A and up for sure.

If you're in a gasser you'll be in front of me and won't have to smell it, because diesels are slow! lol

That is what I figured on the work surface. I only folded the shifter once when I showed my family about that feature. But I am more worrying if I accidentally press the button to fold in, it might not fold out after that.

Yes, I don’t even understand why ford’s logic on this. I know newer ranger XLT have this when I was shopping around for trucks. And I was shopping around for my mother, I became more flabbergasted that on the base models of Ford SUVs have them but you have to pay extra to get it.

This works. Spay it into the air intake with fan on high.

Good deals on f-250. Ready to upgrade.

Stop engaging the parking brake every time I put the truck in park with a trailer connected. Let me decide when to apply it. And eliminate all the annoying and distracting alarms when I’m backing up with the trailer.
