A windshield washer/windshield pillar design that doesn't dump the bugs/fluid into the cab if the windows are slightly open. It seems "antiquated" to have to close the windows to clean the windshield.

Just noticed my 2013 F-250 company truck still has that foam sealer up in the rear quarter panels. It's up there between the inner fender and the outer quarter panel. I guess if they go aluminum this won't be an issue anymore.

I would like to see the 6.2 with direct injection and maybe even AFM like what GM has with their engines. As for the diesel, what they have for the 2015 is good enough. I like the style of the 2016. Don't know exactly what they look like but there are some pictures of them with camo covering them and they are looking pretty cool..

On the topic of the crush strength of the Superdutys roof.

Hopefully that will not be a problem in the 2016 SuperDutys since it appears that the cab design will essentially be the same as the 2015 F-150's.

The newer F-150's seem to handle rollovers quiet well, examples.

With all of that said, the thing I would like to see most in the new Superdutys is a true PowerWagon competitor, and I would also like to see Ford offer a decent mid range gas engine...Something like a 6.5L or 7.0L V8, hell they could market a 7.0L V8 as a modern day Cobra Jet. But at the very least I would like to see the 6.2L get a power bump, perhaps through the addition of direct injection.

It's also been suggested that Ford should do a retro truck...I would be in some financial trouble if Ford did a 1973 - 1979 retro Superduty, because I would literally be scraping change to get my hands on one of those with a big gas V8.

What I'd like to see on 2016 450-550 Super Duty Chassis Cabs

I'd like to see Dual Tanks offered on options above XL & XLT.
I'd like to see the Pick-up 440 Hp, 880 Lb. Ft. Torque power plant available in the Chassis Cab.
I'd like to see the Turbo Brake offered on the Chassis Cabs.
I'd like to see the 80 MPH limiter removed from the Chassis Cab.
I'd like to see better (stronger) material use on the Frames to prevent the bobble head syndrome.
I'd like to see the Back-up Camera available on Chassis Cabs so we won't have to spend another $600.00 for an after market integration Module to hook one up.
I'd like to see the DVD player capability returned to the CD player.
I'd like to see the DEF system go away completely.

My wish list

4 captain chairs (back seats same as front)

Cruise control like already discussed. I want to be able to have a screen where I can select my speed similar to tuning to a radio station. Set speed to a specific value. Like "72mph", etc...

Factory air suspension with manual control (ride height and leveling)

More than 4 aux switches (up fitter)

Factory pto options like air or generator

I want the basics...what they taught us growing up in school. The three R's.

Reliability. Room. And most of all, I just want it to Run. No more of this Found On the side of the Road stuff any more please. Just basics.

If you want to add options, then consider putting in some Rear wheel horsepower and Real world capabilities... and give all those Rating games you play a Rest.

And finally, it wouldn't hurt to have a bigger Rebate.

LED headlights, softer plastics on dash/door/console, different "wood" choices on high trimlines, an STX or Sport line, blind spot monitoring, different leather for the King Ranch steering wheels that don't "age" as fast.

Larger fuel tank. I was shocked when I filled up my 2015 and it only has a 26 gallon tank.

You must have the Mid-ship tank. Bummer.. I had to order a second Truck because when the dealer selected the mid-ship tank thinking he was adding it didn't realize he also deleted the 40 gallon Aft tank. You can't get dual tanks on anything above an XLT.

Didnt know you could get dual tanks on any of them. Nice. I am pretty happy with my single 37gal though.
