DITTO ! ! ! Driver side pillar handle a must! I hope he did

 

I doubt they did. I haven't seen it in the 2010 but who knows for the 2011

 

I've got that same blanket and the decals...

I've received the folding chairs in the past, one set when we bought an Explorer and another set when I bought my '97 F150. I still have the ones from the Explorer, though they are just about toast and the ones from the F150 are long gone (worn out). My Dad just gave me the F150 set he got that are like brand new though...

 

So is anyone that bought an 2010 F150 gotten anything from Ford? I got camp chairs in 1998, touch up paint in 2001.

 

Drivers side handle, 6.2L, power fold TT mirrors, lighted refector on mirror (or nothing at all)

 

I haven't received anything, never expected to either.; No way they'd spend money on extra stuff with the way the auto industry has been for the last few years. Back in 2004 they even had awesome launch brochures with huge pics you could pull apart and put up.; Those were sweet, had them plastered all over the bathroom at work. Took them down in '09 and put up a bunch of the '09 brochures pulled apart, but not as big or nice as the ones they did in '04, and those weren't even the brochure back then. Ahh, those were the days.

I still think the only thing I miss that the 150 used to have is the Captain's Chairs armrests, circa 1997. They've improved upon everything else. Wait, perhaps the little light under the hood. Hehe, that too should come back, perhaps in LED form. I've been driving F150's since 1996, and never once used the driver handle, so I'm glad it's gone, less obstructions for the driver. And I'm only 5'6". But for some reason it seems to be a common thing people bring up that they miss.

I'd rather see more improvements, like some of the stuff already on the horizon that I used to mention in the past like heated steering wheels, rear window defroster, less brake dust, remote started defrost, etc. I'd also like to see things not on the horizon like LED tails, HID heads, Upfitter Switches (always-on), an actual QUIET interior, etc..

 

i would like to see a completely roll-downable rear glass like in the tundras. also i believe the pillar handle is a must. i have used it everytime i've gotten into my truck since i got it. idk what i would do if mine didn't have it. i remember having to like pull myself real awkwardly by the steering wheel into my buddies old blazer on 40's. of course i can see why the stock height or lowered people think they aren't necessary. lol

 

Lowered trucks. Hate those things. WHY? Ugh.

Even 2x4 looks rather odd, just too low. My 4x4 Platinum w/20's, now that's about right. Still have never used the handle, in any of my four 4x4 F-150's. But like I said, it seems to be something that a lot of guys use as I see it brought up here time after time. I'm sure you'll see it in 2012 F-150, as it's a regularly requested item and very cheap to input back into the next remodel. Now, if they'd just input those armrests back in...

 

Im glad they lost the handle, I dont think I ever used it on my 04.

 

Still not sure why even new 2011 Superdutys have it and F150s don't. Cost cutting move?

 

yeah i'm willing to bet it will be back. too many people have complained for it not to be. i think i read somewhere that ford did away with it for improved vision for the driver. i never even notice mine while driving.

 

Yet in the SD they don't care? If they angle it correctly its not in the way of 99% of drivers.... Just sweep it back more and its in line with the A pillar.

Only thing I can think of is crash tests, where that may not be an issue with heavy duty trucks.

 

I bought a brand new FX4 in 07 and the new 10 and never recieved anything except $200 of car purchase if I buy before January......I just bought a $40K truck and they give me $200 off my next purchase in the next month?????? Thanks I guess.

 

lol that sucks
