what about tire rotation? still have to relearn....
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...
Haha, everyone asks for that feature! A simple on/off button would do the trick.

Please add a hole to route USB cables to allow closing the lid to have a cleaner looks. This looks very eye sore... Still need to figure where to drill a hole and reroute the cables and what I need to disassemble. [emoji2959]

Sales numbers dictate something different. The 2.7 rules the land in F150 sales, and for good reason.

Yea the 4.6L 2V ruled F-150 sales too and it was a turd, Ford pushed it just like the 2.7 and gives the most incentives on the cheap engine.
I have personally owned one and I can tell you that after owning Hemis for the past 10 years the 2.7 is nothing short of an engineering miracle. Unreal what that motor is capable of, especially mated to a 10 speed and 3.73’s. It’s a number one seller for a reason, it competes with motors double the displacement and gets 20mpg while doing it. Hell, take a look at 1/4 mile times. Gives the 3.5 ECO and the 5.0 a run for their money! Hardly cheap.
The largest incentives are by trim, not engine FYI. The 2.7 carries an additional cost to the trim.

It didn't always...they updated Carplay about a year ago to allow third-party nav aps. Before that, it was just Apple Maps.
Yes, that post is from over a year ago when it wasn’t that way.

Yeah didn’t realize it was so far back. Glad they updated it. No need at all anymore for built in nav etc. the new CarPlay update is great too
