Guys,
I had some thoughts for improvements 2016 F150 and thought it might be interesting to see what everyone thought and also give Ford a chance to see that as well.

10 Speed Transmission
Further Avaiability of the 2.7L EB (not locked into 3.5 EB on upper models)
Upfitter Switches
Real Wood on Lariat
All LEDs on Lariat 502 or greater
Tailgate Step Standard on Lariat 502 or greater
iDrive style radio interface ****
Heated Steering Wheel button on column
Defeatable "You left your truck running" honk for Intelligent Access
Wheel well liners standard on Lariat 502 or greater
Available Chrome bumpers on Platinum or Platinum Chrome package
Soft touch top of door panel on front doors.

 

Black headliner for all models.

 

I'd like to see:

1. Order groups unbundled where they force extras I don't want. For example 502A with chrome I don't want but other features I do want but cannot get separately.
2. More interior color application with less gray.
3. Sync 3.

 

Bring back the 6.2L option for the half tons for those of us that want it.

Make the max tow package available for the 5.0L. I still don't get why they did that. Everyone does not want an EcoBoost.

 

The odds of that happening are about the same as bringing back the manual transmission for those of us that want it. The 6.2 is gone forever due to CAFE regulations.

 

Bring back the 3.7l as the base V6. Bring the option of the 6.2L back. If GM can have a 6.2L in their camp, why not Ford? The base 3.5 is nice from what I understand, but they went backwards in numbers compared to GM and RAM's base v6. These are engines already in Ford's stable......... as said before, not everyone wants Ecoboost, so quit trying to force it on people!

 

Just a note for those wanting the 6.2L. The Ford F150 is the only full-size pickup that is CAFE positive. What that means is that the F150 is the only truck that meets the mandates for fuel economy on its own and doesn't have to 'borrow' from other vehicles in the lineup.

The fact that the 6.2L is out of the lineup at the same time the F150 is CAFE positive is not a coincidence...

 

Yeah, I am afraid meeting CAFE is important and will affect available engine/transmission options. I also know at the volume they build f150s, Ford doesn't want to stock 5 engines x 3 drive combos (2wd, 4wd, 4wd with 4a) leading to 15 possible drive assembly combos. Right now I imagine they have 11. But I would like to see LED lighting as a stand alone option.

 

I'm surprised the 2015 with the all aluminum 700 lbs lighter truck doesn't get better fuel economy.

 

1)Sync 3
2) LED lights as stand alone option
3) Higher Trim packages available with HD Payload

From what I have been told by dealer, there is no difference between the Eco/Max Tow package and the HD Payload with Tow Package and 5.0L. There is only a slight increase in tow capacity apparently due to the increased torque of the Eco.

 

Agreed! Looks like you can't get bucket seats with the HD payload package. WTH?
