My running boards collect snow/slush below the doors after
a mn snowstorm, then the bottom of the doors rub on the slush!
better interior lighting, better jack location!

 

2018 XLT FX4 5.0 SCrew: Love the truck, I traded in a 12 year old Ram TRX4 on my F150 so it was quite a tech leap for me. I absolutely HATE the Auto Start Stop, whoever ok'd its installation should be horse whipped. I wish I had of got a 2.7 EB instead of the 5.0 is my only regrett.
All the wiz bang stuff is cool but it makes me appreciate my completely stock, under 91K miles F100 for its simplicity.

 

This is just for fun...

This is also based on it taking 3 seconds to disable auto start/stop each time.
A working person, such as me, has approx 250 working days per year. So, hit the button to drive to work and hit the button to get home. That's 500 times per year.
Weekends are a bit more hectic since our kids play sports and sometimes I go to lunch with a coworker during the week. I also run errands and make stops on the way home...so add another 400 times per year.

That is 900 times per year to hit the button that takes 3 seconds. I keep vehicles for 5.5 year, so my assumed total is 4950. 4950 button hits X 3 seconds is 14,850 seconds. That is 247.5 minutes....or 4.125 hours.

So....this device would cost me $24.24 an hour to buy it (I divided the $100 by the 4.125 hours).
This doesn't include the time to install the device....which...ironically....would take more time than it saves you if installation requires more than 4 hours....

Again, that was just for fun. I like to play with numbers.
I rarely hit the auto s/s button, so it would probably cost me $5 a hit to use that device.

 

 

I've disabled that feature for a few friends who said the same thing, using for scan. What don't you like about the 5.0?

 

Yeah, I'd like to know too since I have one coming this month.

 

After almost 10K on my '18, I don't even notice the start/stop anymore.

 

Don't know what I'm going to hate yet, picking it up Saturday
Going from a 01 Z71 to a 18 STX
Not liking the sounds of the auto start feature, a auto locking tail gate will have me ripping the locking mechanism out of it.

 

I have no desire to have some crazy tailgate contraption locking it, let us know how you do, I'll have to follow suit.

 

I love all the tech in my 18 F150 Limited. I do however miss my tow mirrors, the CHMSL camera, and the function to choose which camera to view from my 2017 F250 Platinum.

 

I really like the locking tailgate.

 

I have to agree. I have been thankful more times that it was locked than times I was frustrated that it was locked.

 

Why? Do you have a solid tonneau or something?

 

I have a soft tonneau and I don't really see what difference it makes. If someone really wants to get in the bed, they will. Having the tailgate lock along with the doors is a plus for me. It will definitely help keep the tailgate from being stolen.

 

Glad it works for you.
