Have you noticed... (lesser known features of our trucks)

I can't seem to find this on my truck. Can you post a picture?

Pro and XLT only.

Something that not even the sales people knew about.

The tailgate pull out step has 2 pockets that hinges that allow a bar clamp to be inserted and then clamp your materials down to the the tailgate.

If you look close enough you can see the graphics that show the clamps.

I find it shocking how little the Ford sales people known about their EVS

You dont need to hold it. You just push the 7/8 button like you would your code.

My preteen nephews use the B Pillar keypad all the time. They love it... no fob to lose, makes them independent of me especially when we camp somewhere. Too bad that Ford didn't put the B Pillar keypad on both sides.

I also LOVE this feature. I regularly drive to a trailhead for a run and love that I can lock the truck and not have to hide a key somewhere. Now that I think of it, does anyone know if a smartwatch capable of running FordPass works like PAAK without needing to have your phone on you?

Another feature that had me stumped for a while was the locking rear underseat storage (for those with this option). I could certainly figure out the storage tray, but it took me digging through the owner's manual to find out that the lock is actually a lock of the rear seat bottoms accessed via a keyhole on each side of the rear seats. Said keyholes were, in my case, hidden by the seat belt straps!

I just noticed this yesterday. If you stop and leave the truck in drive and then turn off the truck, the gear selector automatically changes to park.

I love this. I had this in my two prior Mercedes SUVs, albeit there wasn't a physical shifter. But I love just turning off the truck and it making sure you are in park!
