The window thing saves my dog. What's fun is to make up options your truck has and go back to the dealer and tell him you really appreciate the heated and cooling system on your steering wheel. Or the vibration the seats have. The salesperson goes nuts trying to find those options he didn't charge you for. Thank you for the tips. Video well done.

Awesome video. I just bought a 2014 f150 with all the bells and whistles after driving a 1994 Chevy k2500 work truck. I think I might be ruined with all this luxury. The most advanced thing in my old truck was a radio. Just a radio. Not even a cassette deck 😂. I do miss how simple that truck was but all the tech in my new truck has made all my farm work a lot easier.

Nice video dude! Just got my first F150 and absolutely loving it, however for me, "MyKey" was more of a pain in the ass than helpful. I bought it used, and the dealer didn't tell me the one key they gave me wasn't the admin key, I activated MyKey almost by accident, and it locked me to below 80mph which I feel is a real safety liability. Had to pay $300 to the dealer for a new admin key + programming. Oh well, worth it for such an awesome truck!

This thing is a marvel of engineering and design genius. It also has this baaaddaaasss 5 Liter Coyote V-8 which makes it a riot to drive. I will never look in another direction. This thing is a sweetheart! Great video and thanks for sharing.

Great honest video. My only concern about the window thing is; if your trying to end a conversation with some undesirable and they stick there hand/arm through. I would rather the window stopped rather than go back down and give them more access to me or a loved one. Matbe if it went down an inch but not 8 inches.

Just bought a new F150 XLT with a 2.7 ecoboost. First truck and I bought a Ford solely because the dealership has a lifetime powertrain warranty. First new vehicle since 1986. I bought the 2.7 for gas milage and it has ample power for me as I never will tow anything. I did get the trailer assist package as we have a small trailer. This package only works with trailers that you place a special sticker on. It has to be programmed for specific trailers based on their dimensions.

After watching this video and reading the comments out of curiosity, I am amazed at how many people do not know the first rule of driving a vehicle.... Know Your Vehicle. When you get a new or used vehicle, borrow someone's, or rent a vehicle, you are supposed to read the owners Manual. You would have known those features and many more had you done that when you got the vehicle. Good job on the video, I did hear you mention for people to read the manual somewhere during it.

He still holds that against me to this day. 4 bar tabs, 3 car washes, & an oil change still won't erase his drunk mistake of leaving his pinky in my Buick window's destructive path wile I "UP" it...

Haha I too get excited about little features like that, dude. I got a 2012 F150 last year and I didn't learn about a lot of it's cool little features until after I bought it. I'm really happy with it. I had no idea the center of balance was somehow done differently so it can take corners easier or that it could tow twice it's weight, and mine doesn't even have 4 wheel drive. It also automatically adjusts the stereo volume up when the engine gets louder, then goes down as you decelerate. Oh the charging port will also keep charging your phone even when you turn the engine off, but it somehow doesn't kill the truck battery. My mind is blown. Lol

But if the door would open to far and it would kick on the door strap, the window would go back down sometimes

I was shocked you never mentioned the storage behind rear seat. You can fold rear seat bottom up slide hand down behind headrest and feel for nub on lock and slide that down and bring seat back down. It is not too big but I keep a blanket and jumper cables there. And my F-150 does not have subwoofer but under seat bottom (driver side rear) I have an emergency funnel for my ez-fill gas anyway that funnel is in a removable tray, that tray comes out for a hidden storage good size for bats or rifles. I hunt. Maybe that will be of use to you buddy.

The ABS trailer brakes (Did Not Know That) Thanks, But the window thing had me chuckling :) because I ran into some trouble after installing some Weather-Tech Window Shades on my 2015 F150, They slide up into the window frame so you don't have to use double sided tape to attach to the truck. Butttt this caused just enough extra pressure to cause problems until they wore in a little, like the first downpour of the of rain, luckily I could stop window just before top (Which takes some practice) and after 3 years its no longer an issue.

The window thing is a great safety feature till it gets a "mind of it's own". My 2017 Fusion has the no pinch feature too. Close on something and they bounce right open. Another cool thing is if car is sitting in sun with windows up, temp in car is 150 degrees. You can press the unlock button on the key fob "TWICE" as you approach the car and all the windows will open letting the heat out. All windows close again if you press the lock button on the fob "TWICE". Mind of it's own???? I put the passenger side window down to talk to a neighbor then I lifted the switch for it to close and as soon as it got to the top and closed it bounced right back open again. Nothing was in the channel, I used the switch where you just lift it part way and the window will stop and continue as you move the switch. Took it to the dealer and they said--"they had to reprogram it". Since that time the Drivers side did the same thing. I found a fix here on U TUBE that works if you ever have the problem.-------Can't wait till I am going through a car wash, I give the guy the five, start through and close window but the window bounces right back open and I get a bath interior of car too. LOL! Will be ready to work the switch part way to close----------I hope.

I've an into it where when you hit a bump at the same time the window stops going up. But so far hasn't gotten a mind of its own. 👍
@tomtransport
@tomtransport 4 жыл бұрын
Once they (window) will not stay closed that's it. I tried closing the window 15 times and it opened right back up as soon as it was fully closed. I tried lifting the switch just part way/enough to move the window closed but not all the way where it travels shut. I still had to leave it open by a 1/8 to 1/4 inch. If I closed it all the way to the top it bounced right back open even in the manual mode. I drove to the dealer with it closed to about 1/8 inch from the top. The fix on U Tube is---------You press the switch down and hold it down for 5 to 10 seconds after the window is fully open. Then lift the switch up and hold it up for 5 to 10 seconds after the window is fully up/closed. You may have to do that several times as when holding the switch up, and window closes, it may still bounce right back open a few times. But it does eventually work, saving a trip to dealer. Is that hard on the motor? I don't know for sure but I don't hear the motor trying to still run or strain after all the way open or closed. I think the mechanism reprograms and shut the power off when it resets.

Also, check out some videos on Fords Electronic Stability Control. Of course I still use a weight distribution hitch with sway control, but the truck will actually brake just the driver side or passenger side if the trailer gets sway crazy. I've owned Ford trucks since 1997 and love em! 2 Rangers, 2 F150's and a full size Bronco tossed in the mix.

The trailer sway control is an awesome feature and it was weird the first time I felt it kick in. Bronco is definitely on my list of trucks I want to own at some point.

Yeah it's awesome. I do wish it had a tighter threshold though. A little wiggle and it does nothing. I hate wiggle. 😂 But I've actually tried making it sway with some left-rght wheel jerks and it recovers brilliantly. You can do some pretty serious evasive maneuvering with it, and that was pulling a 24' cargo trailer.

I have talked with several hitch manufacturers and they all say to shut the truck sway control off with a sway control hitch. They can fight each other and actually make it worse.

2010 F-150 that I have has an info center located in the cluster where the odometer is and if you click the reset a few times find settings and hold it goes to oil life, miles to empty and you will get to trailer sway hold button then it will ask turn Trailer Sway ON/Off hold button it will switch to your choice it will confirm click button. After confirmation of switching of Sway for trailer you can automatically return the info center to hold for setting click reset and it should cycle through vehicle health report. (You can hold the button and cycle through that area) or just leave info center alone and have info center reset itself and go out of the menus section.

So I love my f150 too. 2009 real nice, but the window thing... my 04 pathfinder has all of that. The auto up and down as well as the preasure safety. In addition if you hit the lock button on the key fob once, release then press and hold the front windows roll down. Not in the new f150s, not even my 2019 work truck. Just saying some features are a bit behind on american cars but eh, dont buy a truck for windows and buttons right :).

Great to know about truck window. My dog would step on power window switch while hanging her head out window.. A real problem, also she would set off power door locks on my ford truck, I’m glad they finally changed the door lock location. My dog locked me out many times, once with the engine running, after that I ALWAYS had a spare key on me even to pump gas. My 2007 toyota has the window reverse feature but only on drivers side, Il will check the passenger side on my F 150.....

Your trailer lights have their own fuses. So if the lights on your trailer have a short, your truck lights will still work.

I can't wait for winter. My 2008 Ranger windows use to freeze in the up position. Got Tired of carrying a flamethrower everywhere. I hope the window in my F150 isn't so sensitive that it stays down with frost on it. It was embarrassing going through the drive in windows.

Quite frankly, if a person is attempting to roll the window up onto their arm, perhaps they should not be behind the steering wheel to begin with!

That's funny but It's a great safety feature if--"for instance" (I'm not saying kids should be allowed to play in car)-- kids are playing in car, one closes window while other has head out or pet has head out--window will bounce right open on neck contact. Read my post above on these "MAGIC" windows Dan.

If you get the limited model that has the side rail that folds down, it has a sensor in there, much like the window, that will stop lowering the side rails down if it senses any resistance. Unfortunately, if you live where they salt the roads a lot, the salt will get in there and mess with the sensor and the side boards will stop folding up and down.
