On my 15 XLT I was still under warranty and dropped the Sync 2 so I have no support for the crappy Microsoft system.
No digital engine temp, really you couldn't put the engine temp under the transmission temp, I guess that two lines of information is too much
No low washer fluid indication, come on my 99 Silverado had this.
How come a cheap Focus has better overall gas information that a truck that costs twice as much?
When changing the oil filter it is a crap shoot if the oil drains towards the front or back.
How come they couldn't put a little extension on the oil fill cap so it was level with the ground so it is easier to fill with a funnel?
The remote start distance is limited because of California, can't they make a special short-range for them and not me?
My only real complaints are
.1 Oil pan and drain plug design
2 location of the electronic parking brake switch and the fact it even has a electronic parking brake
. 3 no under hood light
. 4 the fuses. What was ford thinking
I've only had my 2019 SCREW for about 3 weeks/600 miles and there are a few things that are just wrong:
1st. The auto stop/start is just STUPID. What am I saving 0.1MPG? the cost of which ends up an $800 starter.
2nd The Halogen headlights are total garbage. Seriously, $55k on a truck and I immediately have to spend $300+ and an afternoon fixing a problem?
3rd The radio is also trash. The sound quality is so bad I don't want to drive it. I'd rather ride around in dad's 06 Titan with 268k miles than my brand new, leather appointed luxury, box on wheels the sound is so awful.
4th Oh, and so are the "All Terrain" factory tires (the Goodyear's aren't that bad as long as you NEVER leave pavement), luckily I was able to have them installed on the truck I sold and put decent tires on it, whew.
5th The cruise control buttons are like leftover tech from an early 80's Taurus. I have not seen that listed so perhaps it's just me.
I didn't even think about the under hood lamp that should be but isn't there (as someone else pointed out, on a $65k truck) OR the oil plug location OR the cabin filter or .........
I am amazed that, after disconnecting my trailer, a message flashes on to tell me a trailer was disconnected. But then I have to go tell the computer which trailer I disconnected. (Hint: it’s the one that was there a minute ago.) If I fail to do that, the truck continues to accumulate miles for that trailer.
Maybe two separate groups wrote the code and they didn’t talk to each other?
That makes sense to me.
Think of it like you just tore the wire harness or yanked out the plug by snagging it on something.
Trailer isn't intentionally disconnected, yet you are at least aware of the electrical malfunction.
The person who did 0-60 in 5.7 seconds in a newer F150 wasn't trying hard enough.

A 1999 Aston Martin DB7 had a 0-60 of 5.6 sec, 1990 Camaro IROC-Z 0-60 in 5.7 sec, 1969 Mustang Mach 1 0-60 5.7 sec, 2001 Mustang Bullitt 0-60 5.7 sec.
On the test drive of my 2019 F150 Platinum, I took it from 0-90 in the length of an on-ramp, = between 6 and 7 seconds in sport mode. I was comparing it to the 2019 Edge ST which made 93 in the same distance. One of the 2 salesmen that were in the F150 on the test drive said he closed his eyes to not be scared when he heard the twin turbos fire up. The new Fords are a different animal, and head and shoulders above the stock performance cars of old. With twin turbos, I have to be careful not to get myself in trouble.
Comparing a F150 to a Astin Martin is like comparing a 1965 Mustang to a Model T.
When I drive I rest my left knee against the door panel. There is a little pocket there that my knee hits the edge of and starts to hurt after a while. I'm not sure what the purpose of the little pocket is.
I was not sure about that pocket either.. But.. Now we know!
