Beautiful truck I'm glad I changed from black to magnetic
I know the sunroof in my 2011 is noisy as well until I crack open the rear sider just to releive some pressure
2017 platinum f 450 magnetic ordered
Thanks! I was leaning toward black on black but my wife liked the magnetic "sparkle" and after seeing other pictures on here, I'm glad I switched, it's even better in person.

Thanks!
I love the steps, I had them when they first came out on the F150's years ago, everyone told me they would "wear out" but never did.. these seem wider.. they are placed at a perfect height for stepping into these TALL trucks.. my kids can get in and out no problem using them. No idea on the AMP's, they look like a solid product, the Ford steps are quality though. See if the pictures below help any.

LOL.. No "roof gate".. yes, I'm describing the turbulence/buffeting when OPEN, and yes, cracking back two windows a little relieves the pressure, I was just surprised at the severity of it and how much it vibrates the "second pane" of stationary glass.. I think if the pop up deflector was solid instead of screen it might would help the wind past the opening. I just sold a luxury SUV that had same setup (large double pane panoramic sunroof) with mesh deflector and it did the exact same thing.. think I'd learn.. but I love the look of the all glass roofs.
Awesome thanks for the pics of the steps. I had them on my 2001 and loved them. Never had a glitch and made it easy for my parents to get into my 6" lifted truck. Didn't want to spend the money to put them on my '13 because it came with stationary Ford steps but always wished I bought them. I am definitely getting them on my 2019 now that I know they are licensed by AMP. Thanks all for the info.
Steering doesn't sound good as I specifically ordered adaptive steering because I thought the steering would be better. Anybody else got adaptive steering?
