Co<kpit???

A friend of mine was commenting on my truck last night. He says, you know how some cars have a co<kpit feel to them?? This thing is more like the Bridge of a battleship... I couldn't agree more...

We FX4 owners have the "aircraft inspired" instrument cluster as well.

Subconsciously, this is probably why I went with the FX4 instead of the Lariat. Also, the correct terminology these days is "crew compartment." Since I have a SuperCrew, I guess that would be appropriate.

In your case it is a SuperCrew compartment.

At the risk of taking this thread slightly off topic, here's my analogy between most large commercial/military aircraft and our trucks:

1. Both have alphanumeric designations (e.g., F-150, B-777, C-17, etc.)
2. Both are designed to carry a lot of people and cargo
3. Both have a lot of raw power but are typically heavy
4. Both use a lot of fuel
5. Both make me smile when I drive them

I like those analogies!

C-17 forgot:

6. Both take half a runway to get up to speed and an entire runway to stop.

I'm not sure that's entirely true, I " think " I can stop with just half.
