Things on the 2017 that you don't like.

Here's the deal with the headlights / fog lights: if you set the headlights to Auto and then push the fog lights on, and then leave things alone...letting the auto lights turn the headlights on and off...the fog lights will stay on each time the auto headlights come on. If you switch from Auto to manual "On" mode but back to auto before you shut them off (say, to kill the auto high beam function) then the fogs stay on.
However, once you switch the headlight switch to "Off" then they will need to be re-switched on.

Like how I couldn't figure out how to turn them off in the thick fog last night and was being blinded.

I've had mine for a bit so I've actually got some very minor "suggestions" (overall, I have only one significant complaint - Wrong GAWR on the tag...which is getting fixed). -The drawer lid in the center console vibrates a little at low RPM at times when open. I would like a stronger fuel door lid that locks as well (railrode1). The 4 X 4 **** is flimsy and out of place compared to the other ***** (others are large and stout in design). Just small stuff really. Love the truck today more than I did a month ago. To me, that's the ultimate testament to buying a new vehicle.

But there is a silver lining: when you change to 4Hi or 4Lo, an indicator turns on in the dash display. GM trucks only show what mode they are in by the position of the ****.

On our Lincoln with auto high beams, oddly, the only way you can cancel it is by turning "on" the fog lamps. Auto high beam only functions with them off.

Random stuff here but:
1. I wish it auto-locked when I walked away from it after turning it off. Rather than needing to press the key fob or the sensor switch on the door handle.
2. I wish the side mirrors had the option of auto folding when turning it off/parking. Instead i need to press the fold button.
3. I wish the speakers were better amplified/clearer. They are only decent. Why cheap out on this? For $20-$40 Ford could have done such a better job on audio quality.
4. I wish the apple/android car apps worked via bluetooth rather than cabled.I think this is more of a function of the apps themselves but still my thoughts.
5. I wish during parking, going from reverse to forward, the 360 camera didn't turn off automatically. I do not like pressing the button to see the 360 camera button during low speed parking maneuvers. Even my wife gave me crap about that. I think this would actually be the best, most functional change that could be done with a simple software upgrade. Most cars keep cameras on until speed function turns them off. Not shifting.
6. The turning radius could definitely be better.
7. There is absolutely no reason that the rear tires need to be 80PSI. I wish the tire pressure warning was adjustable in the dash for the tires. I could have a way better ride. The whole idea of going to the dealer of the FORscan thing is rediculous when they are set to 80PSI.

This has been the same in all the sync versions.. Would be nice to be able to select that function..

I must be easy to please. Only gripes are 0 MTE and only putting in 28 gallons in 34 gallon tank. Spot mirrors way to easy to move. Have to re-adjust every time they are cleaned. And steering wander. The damn truck wanders all over the place. Down the next road, right past the driveway, over to the next town, and then the one after that, out to the big lake (Ontario), down to the small lakes (Finger Lakes), off to the hill country. And even then hard to park, back in the shop. Fights me every time and whines and whimpers all night, calling out, wanting to go. I guess I could have worse complaints but haven't found them yet!

You can certainly lower the air pressure about 5 or 10 psi without a warning...and maybe even 15. Although that might be a stretch.
I know on my 2012 SD...I have them a little lower to help with the harsh ride effects.

I've been waiting to see if anyone else seems to feel it.
I never noticed it in my 2012.
