ergonomics
All in all I like the interior layout on the L but I just have to ask if anybody else gets irked by these two little "problems" 1) The radio on/off switch should have been a turn switch instead of a push. If I am trying to adjust the volume and hit a little bump in the road-off goes the stereo. 2) Due to the phenomenon of "parallax" you can't really tell which position the def, def/floor **** is in. Like looking at the speedo from the pass side. Has anyone else noticed this? Or am I just trying to fault an overall good truck.

They allways do something stupid. It could be worse the other day I went to turn the fan up, but switched my current truck into 4 wheel drive by mistake. As soon as I get my Lightning(hopefully soon)the first thing I am going to do is put my Alpine in.You would think they could put a better radio in it.

Yeah, that on-off button just frustrates the ***** out of me. I'm going to see if I can get Ford to buy my truck back under the Lemon Law.

It amazes me that anyone with a supercharger,
decent exhaust, and over 360 HP would even
turn a radio on. Why would you even want to
listen to anything else. They could have left it off of mine and saved the weight of the radio and speaker magnets. LOL.
