Love the surround cam. For a vehicle of this size, this is truly a must.

Hate the screen dimming. The Sync 3 screen has its own dimmer separate from the instrument cluster. Using the "auto-dim" function on Sync 3 only works for night mode. During daytime, I find Sync 3 blindingly bright. Furthermore, the center instrument cluster is far too bright compared to button backlight intensity.

Not sure why Ford paid so little attention to this (or maybe I'm just sensitive to light), but a single button that uniformly controls all interior dimming would be simpler and more logical.
But, that's Ford for you.

Love everything about it (I have a fully loaded '18 Platinum)! But the inability to control the rear DVD screens from the Sync screen and the lack of an audio link is a big omission. I gave up trying to get the Bluetooth link to the front to work ages ago.

What do you mean? It’s slow to deploy? If so, I agree.

No I live in michigan and any dirt and or such get on it and it doesnt have enough power to deploy or at times retract. Have to lube all the time.

Sometimes, using some lubricants will "attract" the very same dirt you're trying to avoid

I feel like Ive tried everything.... searched every forum and the dealer said “yeah just bring it in and we will lube it up”. Lol. I did read that Ford switched to a different maker for sometime back and consequently the resistance sensitivity for operation is a bit too sensitive combined with a weaker motor and that is what causes the sticking... apparently used to be built by AMP Research. Thats what Ive gathered so far. Open to new ideas always.

It's a nice ride but have never figured out why Ford® thinks we want a parade float suspension. I mean, come on boys. Installed bilsteins first year of ownership. Much better.

Hate the ride quality but LOVE the seat comfort and overall cavernous cabin. Power is also excellent.

What did the Bilseins actually do to the ride? Curious as Ive seen a fair number of people talk about them.
Thanks buddy.

Love the power and interior comfort.

Hate the rear window is a fricken dirt / snow / mud / anything magnet. Far worse than any vehicle I had so far.

One thing I dislike is the blind side warning, the little yellow dot is too small, it should light up the graphic like some others especially when it's blinking and you're about to get hit, plus a beeping would be nice.
