Does Ford think truck owners think push button start is a cool thing?

According to the specs, it only has a 6 speed. What the hec is Ford thinking putting a 6 speed in? This is 2015 not 2009. What is going on with the new tranny?

I would love to have a push button start who the heck wants to take their keys off and put it in the ignition?

That truck has everything that I would want in a truck I can't think of anything else other than being 6" up haha

We have the push button start in our MKX and must say, I don't care for it at all. If anything, I'd prefer a ignition switch on the dash where the push button start is located, instead of on the steering column.

I wouldn't care for push button start.

The better half's new CUV has the push button start with the proximity feature. I have adjusted to stepping on the brake and pressing the start button.

For me, its a nice feature. The key fob stays in my pocket and the magic happens. :wave:

I sure hope they have engine options other than Ecoboost if not it's a no sale for Me!

I dont like how all these new cars and trucks need back up assist, park assist, 360 degree views, blind spot lights and all that other BS. I mean, are we really that incapable of safely maneuvering a vehicle these days? I dont know about you but I know the angles on my truck very well and if a parallel spot is open and big enough to fit, Ill park it. If I need to back up I can get within a foot away from whatever Im backing up to and I even have a shell taking away all/most of my visibility!

But, even after that rant, I still like the truck!!

x2 These "assist" features just create more bad drivers on the road.

I love the look of the truck but is it a truck or a luxury car? Too many electronic things to break down the road. I would like it better if they just focused on fuel economy durability and just a few creature comforts.

Ford is for sure targeting the recreational truck drivers. The guys who never take their trucks off road let alone on a dirt road. There are a bunch of wussy features! If you can't properly back up a trailer then you shouldn't be towing!

If I wanted luxury then I would buy a Lexus.

I wonder if they will keep the 6.2 liter?

Doubtful. The 6.2L will most likely go away in the F150. You know, CAFE, plus, with the tweaked EB 3.5L, there will be no need.
