OK just had mine for about 12 hours now, and I slept 4 hours of those.
1) The steering wheel is made out of PLASTIC!! My Chevrolet I just traded in had a malleable type of material on the back and covering the airbag. It felt much more expensive.
2) The compartment at the front of the console that has the charging ports does not have an "exit" for the cord if your phone is plugged in.
3) I have the safe in my console. I would like to leave it unlocked where it opens automatically until I need to lock it. If you leave it unlocked it bangs on the bottom of the armrest.
4) The dash is PLASTIC with leather patches. The Denalis and LTZs are fully covered in leather.
Other than that, I LOVE THIS TRUCK!!! By far the smartest vehicle I have ever driven.

You and me both brother...I'm bummed about that. I asked the chat girls a while back about it and they asked a tech person on their end...said the modem will be available for install later, and the rest of the system is already there, so there's hope.
Thanks for setting me straight.

This is because Ford changed how the system worked a year or so a go. On my 15 SD and previous 13 F150 as soon as you unplugged the trailers 7 pin connector the trailer would disappear from the system. Then on my 16 F150 you have to manually delete the trailer after each use. If you don't do this not only do you get the Trailer screen as your default your trailer is still racking up miles on it's trip computer. I have multiple trailers and I use this system to know when to service my trailers but if you forget to remove one your mileage is wrong

Exactly! You can see it lines up on the 150s and tell the difference in the bed height between the two. I'm guessing the new taller frame mandated the bed be sectioned to allow for 5th wheel clearance.

We discussed the gap under the tail light and one conclusion is the gap is a buffer zone in case the bumper gets hit. Regulation stipulates maximum damage in a low speed hit and if the bumper jumps up and spoils the tail lights at $1250 (LED with radar estimate) each the insurance company gets pretty upset.
