Are there any draw backs to the electronic locking rear end?

In theory it's one more thing that can fail. But unlike a LSD it is only used when you command it on, not anytime the wheels are moving at different speeds

You meant to say it's nearly half. Almost half indicates it is less than 2.5




I guess that is the same math that they convinced you that smaller must be better

Went out and looked, found the switch. I thought that was the traction control switch, guess it is to some extent.

The only thing I don't like about the truck so far is there is no place for a box of tissues. Most limited console I have ever seen. Might as well not have one.

Are the tissues for drying your tears when an Ecoboost blows by you?

You could try one of those low profile tissue boxes. It would probably fit in the door. You're right about the console being small, but I actually prefer it because it serves as a higher armrest. I had the bucket seats and console in my 2011 and I didn't care much for it. More of a gaping hole with stuff rolling around everywhere, and I felt too low leaning on it.

Yep, I like the height but wish the top was not cloth. The tissues are for Coy when I blow his stuff in the weeds.
