Dear Ford, The World Isn’t Flat.

[BoilerTimmay]

Anyone else have a list of things that Ford overlooked testing on anything but flat ground? The center console lid on the 2021 F150 is the latest. My driveway is maybe a 5 percent grade, and when backed in, the lid doesn’t even try to stay up when open.

other things:
- cab corners hold a ton of water on 2011 F150 when the nose is elevated.
- oil drain aquaducts on my 2011 Ecoboost F150, what a mess.
- trunk water drainage on my 2017 MKZ, if the vehicle wasn’t flat all of the rain dumped in the trunk itself instead of channels.

I noticed the center console issue the other day. The fold flat is too heavy for the spring they used in my opinion.
