New Feature Discovery!

All this time, I thought the 3.8cm circular grid above the driver's left ear was a microphone. No! It's actually a built in cold shower, that douses you with water as you drive! Now that's engineering! Obviously my sun roof drain must have been clogged. We don't get snow or below freezing temps very often here (Hey, I'm in Canada, of course). But this past week we had about 10cm of snow with the temps fluctuating above and below 0. (Translations - 1.5 inches, 4 inches and 32 degrees F. Ya'll gonna have to speak metric after we take over). Looks like it's thawed out now, and no more showers. My previous F150 I purposely custom ordered without a sunroof to avoid stuff like this. I'll check and see if it's plugged with any debris, but I think it was just blocked by ice. It was quite the surprise to get doused by ice cold water while driving. The microphone still works.

Once you become the 51st state, you'll learn we only measure snow in inches........

There's a reason why I never opened my sunroof, You would hope after 10 years of the same roof design they would have learned by now

I ordered my current 24 without a sunroof. Best decision i could have made. Easier to keep cool and no dealing with these issues.

i never want a sunroof again in any vehicle.

i live in Georgia and we get maybe 3-4 cumulative weeks in a year when you can use it. It’s either too hot, too cold, too much pollen, smoke from some fire, smog, rain, bugs, or thugs. Gotta keep it closed most of the time.

Your anthem is more catchy, so we'll keep the tune but will need to change the words or add a verse.

"Ohhhhh Beavers can you see?
By the bright Northern Lights.
The Moose that roam
Across hockey rinks lit so bright...."

Got to keep a sense of humour in this world we live in, otherwise what's the point?!
