It is a minor thing, but the push-on-pull-off high beam switch sucks.

My 2006 F150 XLT is that way.

My wife has a 2004 Mazda 6 Sportwagon its the same way.

My first vehicle, a truck, was a 1989 Mazda B2200, it was the same way.

My second vehicle was an 1988 Ford Tempo (POS from the pits of HELL) it was the same way.

The car I traded in on this truck was a 1995 Saab 900 SE V6, the high beam switch...pull-on-pull-off...very easy, very comfortable.

I guess what I'm trying to say it why does Ford insist on doing it this way?

Probably a stupid question, but is there anyway to change this?

 

What uh... sucks about it?

 

i like mine

 

I've never used high beams.

 

That is pretty minor. If that is all you have to complain about then you are doing pretty well.

 

The one thing that i hate is that the Mercury chic on the commercials didn't come with my truck.... I'd play with her high beam switch.... Man she's hot....

Okay I don't get it..............

Its a high beam.

I don't know if I like or dislike never though about it.

 

Because that's the way the Moto-Gods & nature intended it to be... & It's more durable than a switch that has to articulate twice just to turn the hi's on or off. Anyone remember the foot switches?

KC-10 FE out...

 

Was that back when they had to hand crank the cars to start them.

 

Yep, and I prefer them over any kind of stalk switch. It's cheaper to build it into the stalk, and cheaper to install on a car that may be sold right or left hand drive, thus it took over the market. But the good old floor button was better for me and most drivers.

Well, I did put minor in the title and otherwise yes I am.

 

Speaking of minor, the one very minor thing that I have found is how flat the rear seat is. Things tend to slide around and fall off, because there is not that bucket/depression like on some other trucks. The rear seat on the Chevy's is better for holding stuff.

 

I say we revolt and demand a change back to the floor switch.

Those were the days.

 

anyone recall having to push a squeeze bulb with your foot to squirt washer fluid on the windshield? And those silly "bags" to hold, what, maybe 2 cups of fluid? I do.
