10 Hidden Features of the 2025 F-150

Can we open our windows with the fob? (mine's a 2022 XLT 302a)
My wifes Bronco Sport can. But when I tried the same procedure on my key fob... nada...

My owners manual says so - but there's snow on the windows right now so not gonna experiment!

Powerboost tank is pressurized, dont ask me whh

The most enjoyable driving I've ever had was in a '27 Cadillac.

The owner drove it to Las Vegas from Portland or Seattle for the Cadillac and Lasalle Club's Grand National meeting.

The owner was on a mission to give everyone in our region who wanted to a chance to learn to drive it. Oddly, very few takers! Everyone wanted a ride, but . . .

Anyway, part of the startup sequence is using a pump on the dash to pressurize the fuel tank! You pump it to about 1.5psi (so not a lot), which is enough to drive fuel to the carburetor. You then use another pump on the dash to prime the cylinders. Once started, the engine keeps the tank pressurized. (there is no fuel pump on these).

I started a '29, iirc, Packard at a car auction because I knew this, and found myself designated "the old car guy" the next year as a result.

Go to vehicle settings and make sure remote windows is on.

And none of these are hidden features. They're in the manual...


PowerBoost requires pushing a button to open the gas door. He even says it's a PowerBoost thing in the video.

I have a 22 powerboost, I can open my gas door by pushing on it and it will open, it's not a mechanical latch, it senses the pressure and pops it open after 1-2s. It's similar in function to an air pressure switch on a kitchen sink garbage disposal.

I actually think your latch pin might be damaged or popping out!

I don't doubt it - but it's not supposed to do that on a powerboost.

Thanks for the hint. I didn't know that was a thing.

You can turn on/off a lot of the 'basic' setting on right on your screen. You do have to be stopped or in parked with the key on (maybe even running).
I've had mine for half a year and still don't most the 'features'

Yep. I've messed around with a few of the settings but must've missed that one.

If it's on the 22's anyway.

Very true. Between the years, models and packages, and what ford had on hand when it roll off the line... I don't know if two of these trucks are the same.
We all have limited edition one offs
