stick it into the window channel against the glass
That's clever. I guess you have longer legs and sit farther back. That little gap never affects me.

Welcome to FTE Joe Having a coffee maker in the dash is creative thinking.

I also, after having many vehicles with carpet, love the carpet delete option for those snowy mud ridden days. One item I miss and would love to see return, Yes I am old skool, the dimmer switch back on the floor pan where it should be.

1.) A factory inside light for the back of the supercab.
I can't see a thing at night when I'm looking for something back there without a flashlight.

Theres laws that prevent factory HID's on trucks like ours. Thats out for now. LED headlights would be nice tho.

Dealership can put auto down on all 4 windows for you for a small fee. Just changing out the switches on the drivers door.

One tone seats are on the kingranch.

Fuel tank i dont see happening as the 2011 f550 specs ive found. Also put the diesel at 26gallons. What a screwing.

Ive messed with climate control on the navi before. Personaly I dont like it at all.

DIC customizations are coming. including be able to load special software into it.

It would be very expensive to add a mix system for backseat air and heat. And I had a vehicle with rear radio controls. NEVER do i want that again. Even the adults have issues with messin with the radio.

I agree on I want to see my tire presures per tire and not just a light that say s one of your tires are low. GM has it on all there vehicles. Come on ford...


Heated steering wheel is a nice option, I didnt get it on my previous denali but wish I would have.

Why do you need auto adjusting mirrors for reverse? You just adjust your mirrors properly and you dont even need to turn around.

The keyfob tailgate lock would be a great option. But nobody does if factory for some stupid reason..

Same for up and down sliding window, id love it but I dont wanna buy a toyota to get it. (Nissan dont count as its just a dodge)

Im waiting to see what they give us to replace the cupholders with. I always end up with drinks that dont fit.

Wow, no I did not know the whole visor would slide. This would help sometimes but the spot above the rear-view mirror is often the culprit. I played around with visor and sliding it but I would probably run off the road trying to unclip the loose end to allow same with one hand on the wheel and another on the visor

I might try the index card trick; currently I try to make sure I have a ball cap to put on

I like the old dark bands they use to put at the top of the glass......

Funny I didn't realize the visors slide.


Thanks,

Bob

To keep on topic, we need electronic darkening windshield band at the top that the driver can disable.

radzer0,

Do you have the front console or the bench seat? I just learned that if you pull out the two cupholder trays and a second lower panel in the console, there are two larger cupholders underneath. Just saying.

You can also pull out just the rubber part of the cup holder to give a little more room. My reusable water bottle fits great with that piece out of the way.

For 2021 (I keep trucks for 10 years) I would like to see auto pilot.

These fancier cars already have object detection which is just a step closer to auto pilot. It detects cars in another lane and alerts you if you attempt to change lanes without looking. Now my info comes from commericals on the TV.

Look how far we've come over the past 10 years so we laugh but who knows what will happen...lol.

My only wish on my list is a lower price so I could buy a new diesel. I guess I will have to settle for the gasser. Oh well. LOL

they changed it to enable flash-to-pass. I read about it in an old ford manual for one of my cars... I think it was a thunderbird. 89 maybe? our old 87 van had it on the floor but the 89 'bird had it on the stalk. That's probably where I read it.

+1 on the Light in back seats of SC - My next mod will to put some LED's back there - hooked to upfitter..

Sunroof in Supercabs -

Have second seat in SC fold down - not up - There is still some storeage space there but cannot get to it without pulling seat back... Of course this storage would go away if we had full sliding rear glass..

e-lock Diff FRONT!

Let the seats fold back totally flat - for those "Rest Stop" camping...

Allow owner to program out Door Chimes (Key in Ignition, etc.) & Courtesy/marker lamps...

Let owner tell computer what octane fuel & computer changes timing & other things to get optimum output (Gas Only)
