Well, do you want the good news or the bad news first? How bout both in one sentence? Ford is recalling thousands of F-series trucks, including the 2011 F150, and elsewhere, the 2011 F150 has been named a Top Safety Pick for 2012 by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS).

I don't understand why this recall is being portrayed as such a big deal. It's a relatively small amount of trucks for what I consider a non-issue.

 

I agree!

I wish i could figgure out how to disable that stupid lock!

very irritating..... switchign from old trucks where you can do what you want, to new trucks where you have to mash the brake to shift from park .... irritating.
