You "true" Ford guys won't understand this but if you have ever spent much time driving a Dodge or GM truck you will. I don't like the Ford steering ratio - too many turns of the wheel to get results on the ground. I know this is a Ford thing because I drove my buddies' 04 F250 and it steered the same as my 11 does. As a side note - I was afraid he wasn't coming back with my truck, he fell in love with it and is now working on a deal to trade himself. I told myself I would get used to the steering - and I will, someday. It is taking much longer than I thought it would.
I don't think much of the electric locker axle. I spin one tire damn near every time I start off when pulling. I give a little throttle and then the boost jumps up and I'm spinning. I shouldn't have to pull a switch each time I want to go.The Eaton automatic locker on my GM never allowed that to happen unless I was going for it, then both tires would spin.
Here is my biggest ***** - - - - - no cigg lighter and none available YET!!! Come on Ford, even my wife's 12K Hyundia Accent has a factory cigg lighter. My dealer keeps telling me he has a lot of requests for the cigg lighter kit to replace one of the many power points but so far - nadda!!!!! For 50 grand, I should be able to kill myself anyway I want to. I have a 99 cent Bic in the door pocket - classy huh??
I wouldn't trade the rest of the truck for any other brand. I like the size, interior, looks, power, bells and whistles (toys) and most of all - the jeolousy factor of friends and neighbors. This truck was made to pull trailers and all the things it does for this purpose are great.
