I know the new Fords have been discussed at length but I just had to share my thoughts.

 

I finally had the opportunity to take a close look at the interior of the new F150 Lariat, King Ranch and the Platinum. (not considering buying one, just looking) I have to admit, I like most of the exterior of the truck but that interior is so bad it would keep me from ever considering this truck. The quality is good and the basic shapes are not a real problem, it is the multiple colors and materials that sent me running.

 

Silver plastic in the dash and console

Tan vinyl

Tan leather

Gray speaker covers

Chrome A/C vent trim rings

Wood grain

 

Since when did silver plastic go with Buckskin leather? :lol:

 

I remember seeing this in the Titan when it first came out and I thought it looked ridiculous then.

I agree for the most part. I wouldn't say that Ford can't make a good truck interior. I loved the interior of the Super Duty Harley edition.

New F150 Exterior...What were they thinking

 

 

 

The head lights and tail lights look like some one was having a seizure when they were designing them.

I can live with the nose and it actually is growing on my with each one I see, not so crazy about the tail lights, but that interior is just not something I could live with under any conditions.

Yep...that is Ford's recipe for luxury...hundreds of buttons and a lot of silver paint.

Damn that's ugly. The Denali looks like a Rolls in comparison. I hate the tail end styling and the front grille and headlights on the new F150.

Wow...I had not seen the F150 interior. Now, I admit...I'm a second generation GM fanatic and have never had anything nice to say about ford. That being said, wow...that's an ugly interior! Saying it's busy is an understatement! What on earth can all those buttons possibly do? Are there that many functions to that truck?

one thing i hate on fords is the shifter... why don't they put it on the column like everybody else? when i hop into them i always grab for the shifter on the column and then realize its gay and in the console.

I think th efloor mounted shifter is cool. Not everybody needs the space for something else. It's one of the few things I liked about my 2007 Titan.

I use that center floor space all the time. It's just a matter of personal opinion. I like the efficiency of having the shifter out of the way of everything and having a little extra floor space. I just hope that when GM goes over to floor shifters that they offer a column shifter option...

A good friend just bought an 09 F150 XLT. It has the center console, but column shifter. I think his interior is actually pretty nice. But that pic posted above is ass, wayyy to busy!!

 

Its the front and rear I could not live with. Ugly as sin!!

 

I have yet to ride in it yet, but he says its very quiet and smooth. (no FX4 package or anything and street tires)

 

His has the sync features, it actually does quite a bit and is pretty neat. Some of the same stuff that onstar can do, its just free (or at least I think it is?)

      Manufactuer's Defect - Paint Failure - Cherry Red High Country 2021 Suburban

      By AlVeron · Posted

      This is NOT impact damage nor neglect. There were previous class action lawsuits because of such paint preparation st GM manufacturing plant. Not just the Cherry Red Color. This paint is applied in three processes to obtain the desired color.  The manufacturer will cover for 36 months or 36k miles only. That rust is actually corrosion because of the paint process failure. Corrosion is covered for 100,100 miles or a certain months. However their corrosion doesn't include this type. Go figure. Clearly manufacturer knew from previous paint issues. This started 3 weeks ago out of the blue.

      Is it time to put a piece of tape over the CEL?

      consider doing electrical testing?  I would guess some power or ground wire/connection has a problem.   alldata.com has wiring diagrams, connector pinouts and diagnostic procedures you can use to find where the problem is.

      My First Project and GMC has me stumped

      By davester · Posted

      can you tell if the reader is actually trying to get codes, and the pcm is reporting none, or is your reader just silently failing because it's not communicating with the pcm?

      Any joy with this truck seems to be short-lived.   The CEL for P0172 ("bank 1" too rich) is now "intermittent".   I'm not sure where to check, or re-check, and my energy to keep chasing problems with junk is wearing thin. The P0172 seems to set as I'm coming to a stop, completely off the throttle, when fully warm. At least, that's what it's done the 3? times it's set.   Everything appears normal on the scanner EXCEPT long term fuel trim. There's only one bank on this vehicle because it's an OBD 1.5 with only one upstream O2 sensor. At idle, it's around -16.4% and will dip to -18% occasionally at idle or off-throttle. LTFT approaches 0 when throttle is held at 2500rpm. Short term appears normal, much closer to zero all the time. The LTFT tells me the engine is running rich at idle but compensating at higher load. But, why?   The EVAP purge valve doesn't appear to be leaking/sucking fuel vapor continuously. Is it sticking just as I come to a stop and the engine is choking on fuel vapor and sets the P0172? But that doesn't explain the persistently negative LTFT. Disconnecting the purge valve doesn't seem to make any difference.   I suppose that leaves another dang issue with the fuel injector. A leaking fuel pressure regulator, a new leak in the spider, or a leaking fuel injector/poppet valve I didn't see, or a small crack in one of the spider legs.   The vacuum line leading to the fuel pressure regulator doesn't have raw fuel in it. It doesn't even smell like fuel when it's pulled off, not until you suck air through it, then you can tell it leads to a fuel component. I'd consider that normal? Nothing is signaling this is a FPR issue from the outside, at least.   The oil smells like fuel but it's not building volume. I've noticed most oil in most engines smells like fuel to some degree so it's hard to say if the smell is an issue or not. Or if the engine just still smells like fuel because the crankcase was full of it a few hundred miles ago. But it's been changed twice since that original issue of the leaking fuel line dumping fuel into the intake.   Patience is running very thin. Every win seems to be accompanied by two steps backwards, or another issue that leads to removing at least the top half of the intake manifold. Enough! LOL
