For people who swap summer/winter wheels, have the ability to store 2 full sets of TPMS sensors, which can be selected via the display.

I just rented a 19 max limited.

Maybe it's my seating position but every time I looked over my left shoulder for vehicles in my blind spot. I look right into that wide pillar and can't see around it. I wish they would fix that.

Yeah I know it's got a blind spot monitoring but it's a habit and I trust it more than the yellow dot in the side mirror. I have had it in 3 vehicles. It's also an option on some Expedition trims but really needs to be standard with how wide the pillar is.

Is it just me, if so, sorry Ford...carry on.

The 17 is easy to see out of.

With mirrors positioned properly, you basically eliminate blind spots.

You, sir, make a very good point...

I never rotate my tires so I never would have thought of this. But I'm definitely in the minority...

Back in Switzerland, where I grew up, I did several car and motorcycle safety courses (learning to control the car in extreme situations, what hell of fun btw...) and they all preached that the tires are the ONE single most important safety "thing" on a car....hence take care of it

No kidding. It’s also the only safety feature that interacts with the road. I’ll avoid crappy looking cars on the road because I’m assuming their tires look just as ******, I’m usually correct.

It must get old listening to the tires after they age. non rotated tires usually get stupid loud as they wear improperly.

That's the thing - not one set of tires I've owned has ever worn out "improperly". They always wear flat, all four corners, and I change them when the tread is less than 3 mm (maybe a bit more for truck tires - I had cars for most of my life). Never had this issue with uneven wear. Maybe because I corner gently or something? Keep my alignment correct? Or are Fords just gentle on tires? I'm definitely not complaining about not having uneven tire wear...

Love the power runningboards myself. I'm 6'4" and have no issue with the sunroof.
If ford would fix the stupid auto stop start it would be a real improvement. I installed an auto stop eliminator and now it works the way it should have. The claim of better fuel economy I call b.s on that. The extra wear on engine parts can't be good..

Haha, everyone asks for that feature! A simple on/off button would do the trick.
