Well this sucks... One of those features you don't realize how much you love until you have it... Fell arse backwards into the feature on my 2016 and I love it... I have the arms of a 5'5" guy but, the legs of a 6'2" guy and a short torso so I am only 5'11" and I really appreciate the pedals.. I have the pedals pushed all the way away from me and the steering wheel pulled about 3/4 of the way out towards me... UGH maybe there is more adjustment in the steering wheel now? Can't bring my self to buy a Fiat but, if Ford offers said option I may have to look at an F150 in 2-3 years when it's time to trade in my 2016... As someone who drives 25-30k miles a year (I'm an Outside Sales Rep) comfort features become a big deal...

Lots of complaints by Ford and Ram owners with the pedals going down while they are driving which is a big safety problem.

Another option would be to get a taller wife, but if this one's a keeper...

My Ford F-150 had that, could not get that on my 2019 but I'm the sole driver.

Adjustable pedals are a very nice touch just like the side mirror turn signal indicaters. I'm saddened by the people responsible for discontinuing these items. So much for quality conveniences that set a vehicle apart from the competition.

After 5k miles I think I miss the adjustable seatbelt height more than I miss the adjustable pedals

I agree, but more so with the indicators in the mirrors.  Probably deleted because vehicles without blind spot alert can have the small trailering mirrors embedded in the upper left corner (driver's side, built into the mirror).

Same. 
 

That’s one mod I would pay for instantly, if it was available.

I always drove with them as far away as possible because I have long legs. My wife liked them but I fixed that by getting a vehicle just for her to drive and banished her from the driver seat of my truck.

Well I guess we’ll just have to think this out for them.

How hard would it be to put the turn signal indicators in the HUD/ heads up display. 

Pedal adjustment , steering wheel , seatbelt adjustment could be installed on the front part of the drivers seat in a nice lil panel or the side of the center council.

Solved !

wow,  guess I am in the minority on this one,  I always thought that the adjustable pedals were a big waste of money,  and as far as tilt/telescopic wheel I set it one time and never move it again.  I am nearly a foot taller than my wife and all she does to drive is move the seat a little and she can drive just fine.  I guess I just didn't know this was even an issue...

It’s the only way I can drive our 2018 Chevy truck. Went to look at new Trucks today and found out they stopped that option on GM trucks. So disappointed...not sure what to do now. We need a truck for our fifth wheel.

    • I was around and remember that era very well, so I'm calling b/s on that statement. If they were that bad no police department or taxi company would've bought a single one ... but they were used in both services (and fire) for DECADES. They were bulletproof and proven. Even the early 21st century ones weren't too bad! The early models were legendary.   Mine is proof, but people like atlas are blinded by agenda and refuse to believe facts right before their very eyes.   Even decades after they were built, a new generation started driving them, posting all their builds and shenanigans on Grandmarq.net and Crownvic.net. The failures would show up then, since they all were deep past 100k-150k miles by that point, and younger drivers tend to be a little aggressive, especially with vehicles than can lay a one-tire fire for as long as you hold your foot in it. They've more than proven themselves over the decades.   The only thing that'll really take them out is road salt. The bodies and sheet metal were garbage. A victim of the cheapout FoMoCo and GM have been partaking in before then, and since.   Today it's the stuff that counts - the undercarriage that rots away first!    GMs Caprice was no slouch either. Reliable as a stone ax - the opposite of what they build now.    
    • Let me know how your vehicles do in 10 years. You don't know ******, kid. 😂    There's a reason that Panther platform was used as police, fire, and taxi service for DECADES ... long before you were born, apparently.
    • If your connector also has a big lever to get the connector on and off, you don't want to force the lever either way, as it becomes a bigger problem if you bust the lever or the mechanism it works.
    • It's just useful to disconnect the battery to prevent odd shorting out when unplugging/plugging stuff together.  I also  touch the two cable ends together (after disonnecting) to drain the small amount of stored battery energy in various modules.   I believe the main system where you need to be more concerned with, so you need to do the above and then wait some time, iss when you are working on the air bag system, to prevent inadvertent firing of the air bags.   The in-cab switches are just that, plain switches, it's generally not a problem to swap them in/out.  For my '12, I'll get an error message on the dash if I power up the truck w them unplugged, but that's it (power up= turn the ignition on).   The ITBC located above the spare tire is a computer that manages the trailer brake system.  That is probably more important to have the battery disconnected.  It does have to be programmed to the truck, either before or after it's installed, for it to work.  For my '12, I had a very hard time reinstalling the main connector to it (IDK if yours is the same or not), it turned out the silicon seal was jamming up, preventing it from going on all the way.  I finally got it fully installed by lubing the seal with a bit of dielectric grease, then it slid on and latched in place easily.
    • JR ! I just got the truck back from the Dealership today . The technician did a cold remote start on the truck this morning and it made the noise . It was determined that it was a starter issue and replaced it under warranty . Of course   it did not make the sound after a new starter was put in because the truck was not cold . We will we see what happens tomorrow morning when I start the truck cold  . Keep tuned !   Oh I found a video on YouTube of a cold start and it did the same thing your truck and mine do , I will see if I can find it and post it up
