There are a couple a features that I believe the user should be able to turn on/off. The do-do-do noise when you leave the key in, is incredible annoying. If you want to listen to the radio with the truck off, you will listen to this noise over the radio non-stop. The other feature is the auto lock when you drive. If you stop just for a second to load something up, the tailgate will be locked unless you unlock it when you get out. I know, these are minor things, but for me...unless these are addressed by Ford, it will be a Chevy for me next time. And just in case you say, "These are safety features that shouldn't be shut off" consider this. Ford does allow you to shut off the seat belt alarm. Hard to believe they allow seat belt alarms to be shut off, but key in noise or auto lock while driving is too important to be allowed to be shut off. Going crazy with my new Ford. Wish I didn't buy it!!

The F150 is a great truck. It performs very well on and off road, especially if you have the FX4 package, which I highly recommend. That adds a locking rear diff, skid plates, and a few useful settings on the car computer. I enjoy the large interior and large windows. The towing capacity is plenty for me to carry a lot of things and my motorcycle. I am just hitting 30,000 miles with no rattles and no major issues.
