Is there a way to get Analog dash gauges? Seems all these pictures and videos only show Digital gauges.

I ordered my 2017 platinum without a sunroof. Maybe the order guide will stay the same.

I like the "leather" interior in my 2014 302A truck. It's not a particularly luxurious material, but it's nice enough, and it's really easy to clean/maintain.

Would be nice if the brought back the REAL FX4 package and not the dinky option. I have a 2012 FX4 drivers seat in my basement, really nice leather seat.

Is the Moon Roof forced on you for certain models? I was looking at the 2021 Lariat and it showed it with a Moon Roof. I know the Build & Price area is not up yet for the 2021's but is it forced on you?
Only the Limited currently comes standard with a moonroof. All other models it is an option. Ford has prepackaged options for one click builds for the dealers to get stock on the lots, and to make their quotas for pricing on select items, such as the moon roof, they include them in the builds, so this is why you see a lot of certain options on lot trucks. Will see if it holds true still for the 21 models, but more than likely you can still order up to Platinum without the moonroof.


If you are worried about Ford listening, little too late now. When your daughter says suck it up buttercup, and your wifes phone starts showing ads for buttercups, it's already too late! LOL

What was bugging me was that the front end looked familiar, but I couldn't place it. Then the Lariat image appeared and it hit me.

A story about OTA update concerns. I posted about this a few pages back. Some are not worried about it (idrive) but I think a significant number of people are.

the all new 2025 is looking good on that front - I mean, now before the bean counters stop by
I don't understand all the fascination and importance placed on LED....LEDs are relatively cheap in the marketplace except for vehicles it seems to me.(well in regards to owner replacement, i do get its cheaper for the manufacture)They do not enhance the look of any vehicle imo. In fact they make them look extremely gaudy and its easier for the designers to make ridiculous "safer" taillights on stuff like family or cargo vans where we see a long thin vertical light all the way down the sides of the rear.lol.

Still cost cutting or not I dont get why buyers place so much importance on them. The old halogen designs work for me just fine. Both in function and aesthetic.

I like FX4 as an options package that can be applied to almost any trim. It's directly competitive against the GM Z71 package and the Ram Off Road Group, and some guys want those mechanical pieces without having an off-road themed truck.

The F-150 does need an off road trim that competes directly against the Ram Rebel and the Silverado LT Trail Boss, though.

I love LEDs over halogen, I'd love them even more if they were a factory installed option instead of an aftermarket (or ford part), that I'd have to install.
