I think the front of a F150 already looks like a Superduty, from the front anyway....

Lower the sumbitches down to where you can ACTUALLY reach into the bed and grab something. Drivers side grab handle. Only owned the truck for a week, gimme a few more and I'm sure I'll have a longer list.

I would make heated mirrors standard with the towing package. I would also give it a straight axle in front and a mechanical case and hubs. Other than that the truck is sweet.

Edit: I'd make the traction control an option, or at least able to be turned off with a programmer. That stuff is really annoying.

I would like to have a manual trans, smaller head rests (because I think they look stupid), and get rid of the rake on the 4x4. Just lift the front or level the truck out from straight out of the factory.

a back up camera could save a life I think it should be standard.

+ 1 on the driver's side grab handle.

Also, seems to be a problem with vibration. No one seems to have the answer, whether it is tires or drive shaft.

I love my King Ranch. Great Truck!

well after a month of owning the F150, i only have a short list.......

* better key / ignition placement - maybe it's just me, but the ignition hides behind the steering wheel
* drivers side grab handle would be nice
* dash lights illuminate on demand (guess i could just cover up the dash sensor so they do)
* better reverse lights (think i'll mount a couple small fog lights and attach them to the trailer light socket to take care of that issue)
* reverse camera should be standard (put an aftermarket one in my F250 and love it, even if it's a small one)
* larger cubby holes in the dash (call it weird, but i can slide my wallet and a small note pad in my F250 and Excursion and still have room. can't do that in the new ones, good place to put your cell though.)
* ditch the goofy coin holder in the dash..... not sure what to replace it with, but don't need it that's for sure! (yes i know the 4x4's don't have it, the coin holder is the location for the 4x4 ****)
* larger dash info display (yea i see the 11's have this), but would like more than just 2 lines worth of read out.
* larger accessory gauges OR digital read out gauges ie. oil press / volts / temp
* maybe just a small wide angle corner on the mirrors ( i know i can mount an aftermarket one, just would be nice to have a factory one installed)

will these nit-picky things keep me from buying another one, NOPE, but just would be some standard options "I" would prefer.

On the 2011 build and price guide it looks as though you have to get at least a Lariat with the Lariat package to get the factory remote start as an option. That's kind of a bummer.

I can't say I can add anything to the list, you fine gentlemen seem to cover anything I could think of and then some. Maybe someone from Ford will read this, lol. All in all I love my '10 so far with just over 11k on it.

Oh, how about standard LT tires on ALL 4x4's? I could've done without those crappy GS-A's.

Looks like I might have to go with a Lariat. I really want that remote start from the factory.

Just the things I would change, from what I have seen while looking:

1. Cooled Seats on the FX4
2. Ambient Lighting on Fx4 up (at least the option)
3. Get rid of the ugly woodgrain on the 11' Lariat
4. Offer black interior on the KR
5. Dark Blue Pearl on the Platinum (That would be a pretty truck)
