7 Ford Truck Hidden Features!!

7 Ford Truck Hidden Features!!
Your Ford Truck can do a lot of stuff that you don't even know about! I've had my truck for almost 2 years and I'm STILL learning what It can do! They're not exactly secrets, but dude, most people don't know how to use half the buttons on their Ford pickups. I have a Ford F350 XL Dually, which is the base model - and even the base truck has a lot of cool features! Whether you have Ford F150, F250, or F350, you probably have all or most of the hidden features I'm sharing.

I have an 08 base model. Nothing fancy for a work truck. The one thing I like best is I can start truck and then put the key back in my pocket. I am constantly losing my keys. This is a huge help. And during the summer I can leave my best bud in the a/c and not worry, just lock the doors and put key in pocket. Frigging awesome

[@gadroberts]

We have that air compressor and we truly love it. Your right it’s so difficult to find a compressor that will pump the tires to the needed pressure. You’ll like the convenience tons.

[@LyfeUntethered]

Glad to hear! I just gotta pull the trigger! I once got a cheap one at walmart - like a really cheapp one. And tried it in the parking lot. It LITERALLY caught on fire! 🤣

[@LyfeUntethered]

Do you know any Ford Truck secrets or tips? Share!

[@ceecee9155]

I am going to have to check to see which of these features my NTM 2019 has! I know about many of them, but didn't know about the lights outside cab and tailgate or the camera cleaning. THAT'S cool!

[@paisteplayer1040]

You should buy the module to activate temps on your motor and trans to display it in numbers instead of just the bar.. I have it in my 16 f150 and love it.

[@johnsimpson6992]

Hit traction control 2 times fast puts it in sport mode also you can hold brake and traction control at same time for 5 seconds and give you positive traction on my 2018 250 6.7 XLT

[@brendasmith2187]

For okhotroder: the options “warning in adaptive cruise” & others you mentioned can be selected/deselected from the steering wheel arrows on the left side. Arrow r over to setting and scroll to your preferred option then select or deselect.

Thanks for sharing this information. This should work on late model Ford SUVs I’m thinking. Great info.

Here's a bonus for you.... Hit traction control button 2 times quick and you will put the truck into Sport Mode!!!

[@sonnythebigdummy6151]

Dude❤️

[@EckdahlWrestling]

I installed a Viair system. The tank sits perpendicularly between the frame rails above/forward of the spare tire. My twin compressor pumps are mounted above the spare tire. Relays are connected to upfitter switch #1 and air hose quick connect drilled through the bumper. I have up to 200 psi anywhere I need it...

[@LyfeUntethered]

Awesome!

[@thekingsilverado3266]

I made mine from a cheapo tire inflation tank. I ran a metal line with an inline pressure valve straight from the manifold from my Brand new all rebuilt 1988... Valve bleeds off the pressure automatically when activated for air pressure... Works like a charm and something ya can't do with this new garbage is hook in true compressed air for 150psi. I was apprehensive but a local Diesel shop the kit for 445 bucks and it works. I mounted my tank inside the cap I got for the truck above the bed space up front behind my head area. I have a metal screen too which works really nice when the windows are open between the cab and cap. Keeps bugs & stuff from going into the bed area. I actually literally found the thing at the scrap yard in clean like new cond. It fit perfect over the slider window with a little work. I used rivets and body panel glue. Fits perfectly.

[@steverosenberger8671]

I changed my reverse to leds. They are so bright it makes it look like daylight for the cameras. On my 2015 Super Duty.

[@SpykersB]

Congrats! I just promoted you in line with switchitup as my two favourite channels, lol! R2d2 thingy, 😂🤣. Now back to serious play here….um dude, I have a Ram dually. And it’s not nice to make fun of your ford truck, lol. I’ll be replaying this vid again sometime in the summer when I can play around with my truck, and search for missing features you have. I got the comfort package, like auto windshield wipers, auto high beams, heating steering wheel n seats (heat thing in canada holy sweet), memory mirrors, seat, gas pedal 🤔….A row of aux buttons was an option i was told don’t need 🫤, (my first truck, didn’t think about all the gadgets), so geez no eject portal hop button, bummer 🤨. 😂👍🏼. 🍻

[@LyfeUntethered]

Woot! I have arrived!

[@lisa4495]

If you hit the traction control button twice it’ll put your truck in sport mode. It’s a very nice feature when you need a little more zip. It uses more fuel though so I only use it, for the most part, when pulling out of parking lots and such in heavy traffic.

[@SaltyVetAdventures]

Well done! I agree with the Apple Car Play and adaptive cruise.

[@LyfeUntethered]

Thanks Mike! How's the RV biz bro?!

[@SaltyVetAdventures]

@@LyfeUntethered I’m actually keeping busy. So much fun!

[@bardstables8909]

I did know about all those, but still a good video. I'll say I have adaptive cruise control and I love it. Not so much on a4 lane highway as I tend to get lulled into just driving then realize I got behind some cool doing 40 for the last 10 miles. But for 2 lame roads it's a godsend.

[@LyfeUntethered]

Jealous. I'd love it. But I'm afraid this truck will never die, so I'll never have a chance to get a truck with it!

[@bardstables8909]

@Lyfe Untethered never say never my friend. It is a nice feature though. Honestly I think it should be standard equipment.

[@Junkawayllc]

I definitely did not know about the front camera cleaning, cool

[@LyfeUntethered]

Ya when I found out had to make a video!

[@brendasmith2187]

The arrows on the left of the steering column; go to settings, make sure the auto high beam lamp is selected. It’s wonderful the lights brighten and dim when necessary.

[@LyfeUntethered]

wait?! I have auto high beams on my truck, the XL Model? That would be awesome! Gonna check!

[@trdshortbus8009]

In my F550 if you tap the engine brake button once it’s on you tap it again it will activate automatically depending on your brake pedal pressure

[@sethhughes2163]

Much appreciated!

[@Newholland1982]

You sound a lot like Roman from TFL lol,great video 👍

[@Tonyrd3000]

Loved the tire pressure monitoring. Until I had a TPMS go bad. Take a look at what that costs to replace. Now I deal with a warning pop-up on startup and an orange light that stays on constantly at the bottom

[@bryanhayes9728]

Same!

[@Tonyrd3000]

@@bryanhayes9728 Now I have two out. Looked at Itasca for the parts somewhat cheaper than what my favorite dealer wants. Still waiting though. Cause I'm cheap, cheap 🐦

[@montyg7892]

if you hold the traction control button for about 5 seconds, it turns AdvancedTrack off which runs behind Traction Control and is on even if TC is off. If you turn the AT off, TC is also off as well

[@LyfeUntethered]

What’s the difference and when would you use them?

[@mills5343]

Traction control prevents the tires from slipping at all. Turning it off lets you spin the tires but the AdvanceTrack still limits the tires from spinning like hell if you need it. Turn the AdvanceTrack off if you’re in deep snow or mud and then the tires will spin at full rpm’s to get you out of the real sticky situations (or to whip some donuts in the mud or snow). 💪🏻👍

[@Powerstroke98]

When I drop my tailgate on my '16 F150, I have extra lights inside the box of the truck, and a switch on the drivers side to turn them on or off. One thing you didn't mention, is that there is 'quite' a bit of room, behind the rear seat. It's a little tricky to open, but on Amazon there are many companies selling a device to allow the back of the seat to fold forward, so you can access all the room back there! Some trucks have a button (or can use their fob) to open the tailgate, but mine doesn't. I'll have to check the + on the Navigation system you showed here. There's also a place in the console to hide your fob if the battery in the fob dies, where even with the dead battery it sends enough signal so you can start the engine of the truck! Mine has this option, and the one...well two options I use the most, the sound system (love my music) and of course Navigation, helping me to get from A to B in area's I'm unfamiliar.

[@R3lyc]

Double tap the traction control button and it activates sport mode deactivating both skid and traction control. On 2011-2016 models ford techs can activate a screen to indicate def levels Properly outfitted newer models can do an operator activated manual regen. Some people don’t know that most super duty trucks have a locking rear diff if you pull out on the 4x4 shift dial.

[@LyfeUntethered]

Good intel! Thanks Chris!

[@sheldonlucas9908]

I’d you double tap traction control it puts mine in advance trac sport mode aswell if you pull out on 4x4 nob it locks up rear differential 😮

[@LyfeUntethered]

@@LyfeUntethered Don't be a hoe...

[@krazyivan007]

A quick note, and I am not sure if it is still this way. But, the traction control button. If you fast click it, it will only partially disable it. If you want to fully disable, you have to hold the button down for about 5 seconds.

[@LyfeUntethered]

I’ll try it! Thx!

[@user-nj6rv7ol7o]

if you double tap traction control it puts it into advanced sport traction control also!

[@dorzak975]

Those lights in the bed / behind often have a button to turn them on in the bed as well.

[@LyfeUntethered]

I wish mine did!

[@tinygnat]

My company work truck is an F150 XL. It shares some similarities with your XL truck such as a steering wheel, seats and a windshield. Other than that, that's about it. 😕🤣

[@LyfeUntethered]

I'll bet it has a sweet truck bed too! 😅

[@ctfan1486]

XL = base model

[@steveliedel]

This tip probably only applies to the 2021 and up? But…. in one the most recent Sync 4 updates, you can now turn on any camera, through the touchscreen. Even when mobile!

[@LyfeUntethered]

That’s sweet!

[@petertarantelli]

Good video, I’m sure it helped a lot of Ford truck owners - who has time to read through an inch-thick owner’s manual? Personally, I’m not a fan of adaptive cruise control. I like to be in control of my vehicle’s speed.

[@LyfeUntethered]

Thanks Peter!

[@fordmud]

Well traction is dumbed down a little, you have to hold it until advance track disables if you really want traction control off. I hit the button in the rain for my f150, instead of traction control coming on hard, cutting power and not allowing a shift, if just you push the button once it allows the transmission to shift just before traction control takes over, basically it spins half a rotation, shifts, and bogs just enough continue going forward without spinning. As long as you're not hard on the pedal.

[@LyfeUntethered]

I'm still unclear on Advance Track vs. Traction Control. Can you explain for me please Luke? Thanks!

[@clydearmstrong4545]

Tap your traction control button two times it goes to sports mode. Great feature

[@davevan8864]

I own the super rare F-150 4x4 2016 that has ZERO of those features.....But that is what I wanted and I am happy with it!!! Thx

[@LyfeUntethered]

[@jamasonry]

If you hit trac control twice really fast it puts it in sport mode

[@joshhassler]

There is a recall for the rear camera due to foggy conditions. My 17 6.7 lariat rear and front cameras are foggy. Found a front camera for 60 bucks online so will be replacing that and hopefully will have the dealer replace the rear. Apparently they just get foggy over time.

[@LyfeUntethered]

I think ford is waiting for parts. All my cameras are nearly unusable.

[@MobileAutoDiagnostics]

Just replacing the camera might not work depending on what feature you have. If it has 360 camera like his in the video, it needs an initialization plus a calibration

I hate adaptive cruise control and have it shut off always. I know when to turn the steering wheel, where the fog line is and when to change speed.

[@augieschultz2530]

Adaptive cruise control is one of my favorite things on my truck. In areas with heavy traffic it is great. Especially when towing. I guess we’re all different.

[@kidscasper4422]

Have you found a way to connect a wireless camper rearview camera to the main truck display? That would be a really nice feature.

[@LyfeUntethered]

I actually looked into that a while ago and didn't find anything reasonable. The ford dealer didn't even have anything useful to say. I'm sure there's a way because there is an Aux camera button. But haven' t found anything I wanna try yet. Also, because my display is so terrible, I think I'd be better off with a full set up including yet... another display. Altho, with a different camera maybe it would look better? If you figure something out, let me know!

[@lybred799]

@@LyfeUntethered I don't have my camper anymore, but I went to an ag dealer and bought a wired (you can also get wireless) camera. Then I made a cup holder mount and had a live view of the back of the camper. Better image quality, live view all the time. Just my 2 cents. If you really want, you can add multiple cameras and flip between them on the screen as well. They are a couple of hundred dollars, but it was so handy for pulling a large camper.

[@gsxrcom]

Apparently XL’s have been substantially chopped since 2018, my factory ordered 2022 fully loaded F350 XL doesn’t have the flip up secondary glove box, just a pocket with no door and it also doesn’t have any accent colored dash bezels. Just plain black like everything else. Favorite option, tailgate step. Will never own another truck without optioning it.

[@thepurposeyes.6878]

If you press and hold the traction control off button for 5 seconds, you'll also turn off AdvanceTrac

[@LyfeUntethered]

What is the difference?

[@TheMeanmarine13]

@@LyfeUntethered It turns it off completely. If you just press it once it disables track control but It will still override if needed. I was stuck in the snow once in my backyard and it kept trying to interfere even with it off. When I turned it off completely by holding it down 5 seconds, it completely disabled all traction control.

[@Femur15]

And if you rapidly press the advancetrak button 2x rapidly, it turns on sport mode.

[@Femur15]

There’s a recall on these due to fuzzy and unclear images. The forward looking camera.

[@peanuhty9010]

This is how I totaled my 2020 gt350 😭

[@frankfragale7349]

I have a 2023 f250 and I can't start my truck with the remote only from an app not a fan of it.

[@stevet5379]

We used to have idiot lights to let you know when your oil was low, now we have idiot systems to tell you whether or not you're going uphill or down. Between you and me, if you can't tell if you're driving uphill or down...... PLEASE park it and walk home! As for some of the features, not bad. Personally I get in my truck so that it can haul my arse where it needs to go, no need for anything fancy because as we all know the fancy bobbles break and cost far too much to bother fixing. Give me a truck that's ready to work and throw the crap in the garbage!

Many options are turned off in my truck. The adaptive cruise control is one of them. It's so annoying, as even on the nearest setting, slows down way too far back. The crash avoidance system is annoying also, normal driving and a car turns in front of you and it's flashing red lights on the dash. It's more distracting than texting and driving. In my opinion, every "option" people think is very nice is only nice to the ones that aren't good drivers. I fell for the trailer assist, which is a waste also and only used mainly by unexperienced trailer drivers. It's not worth the extra money for the one or two times your kid or wife will use it to back a trailer. I believe you missed your bed buttons that turns on the rear lights. You went all the way back to the drivers seat to turn them on when I believe you can see them in your video close to the tailgate on the sides. At least mine has buttoms and lights on both side by the tailgate inside the bed. There's many great options and some that aren't practical. I hate that it has 2-400w 110v outlets yet neither will run a small air compressor with a tank. Neither will run a 300w hair curler either. The spot lights on the mirrors are nice but will only work practically sitting still. Does no good to use them to check fence lines at night rolling down the road because they won't stay on if moving, and the 110 outlets won't power powerful spotlights. People will argue with me, but the gps needs to work while driving. The voice command sucks and I can pull anything up on my phone quickly while my wife talks with the truck gps for 5 min trying to get it to work. To not allow passengers to use the gps manually while the vehicle is moving is no different than saying no one can drive if the passenger is drunk. Punishing all drivers because a few can't multi-task is wrong in my opinion. If no one could multi-task safely, pilots, military personnel, police, drivers in general, etc., wouldn't have jobs very long.

Adaptive Cruise set to max, way, way, to robotic & possibly harmful G force for loose items, as well as human Occupants.

[@artimustrieste1480]

Sudden distant stops & lagging after cleared vehicles, movement causes unaware traffic jam ups. Looking from those behind... what the...)? Is going on, drunk, high, what up with that?

[@keithjohnson6688]

The rear camera being foggy, is a factory recall. Ford will replace it for free. FYI

[@LyfeUntethered]

I brough it in, and they ordered the camera(s). I hope they replace all of em because they are all unusable! It's been 2 weeks... Ford isn't great about calling back to let me know when they're in...

[@keithjohnson6688]

They don't like doing free stuff! Lol.. Or seem to take care of customers unless you make some noise! Stay on them.

[@kylemcgowan1]

Is 70 psi the recommendation for your tires? Mine is only 32 on my car.

[@TrevorJonescreator]

Trick tires. I think it’s 80 psi.

[@boydlakecrew772]

Your prius has tiny tires.

[@Vincente8791]

It’s that much for big ass trucks

[@SpykersB]

A Random fact your just itching to know, lol,…..5th wheel tires are 110psi, those car portable tire pumps are not strong enough to fill those tires. 🍻

[@ThePackDad]

Anybody else have issues with Apple Play being flaky? 2/10 times, it either fails to connect unless I shutdown the truck and phone and restart both or it connects, but the Ford display screen won't display the split screen to show map and music apps.

[@LyfeUntethered]

All the time, but I think it’s the cables for me. Lightning cables just all suck.

[@Alanstrainworld]

My 2020XLT doesn’t have several of these… all pertains to build models

[@jackylsmith8138]

Only if Tesla knew about the camera washer. For the Cyberthing. Lots of them complaining the rear view mirror camera is always dirty and the view is awful. But hey it costs a few bucks to install it and Tesla does everything on the cheap.

[@0223Jeremy]

That’s a lot of options in a base model

[@yepyup2490]

If you double tap the traction control you can activate Sport Mode

[@goodtobehandy]

I'm looking for a feature that reduces the price of a truck,new or used 😁

[@LyfeUntethered]

Let me know when you find it!

[@conservativeguy6569]

All but the front camera washer

[@Ford-Playa]

Show us next to the traction control, that’s a Jake break

[@Ford-Playa]

The tailgate feature and everything I don’t have that because I have a 550 with the service body

[@webworkhere]

Your check engine light is on that means more work 🤣😂🤣

[@nothingtonooneinparticular8500]

I miss having a speedometer and a gas tank gauge that works, but most other stuff works on my 1970 f250 (sweet Ranger package...) oh and it's got a 460 to power my sweet '53 Mercury AC. lol Although I get gallons per mile, I will never stop loving my Oscar, the big (used to be green) Monster. Drawbacks? No one will work on it, it's too old. No one will do body work, too old. Even been turned down by my local fookin' Ford Dealership for mechanical or body work. Fookin' joy. I still love it. Developing rust but definitely NOT busted. Best part about it? All the anti-libtard stickers and I live in a libtard Uni town. 'Murica!

[@rydereckhardt7972]

C-3PO? He was a protocol droid. He wouldn't know Jack about washing a camera.

[@LyfeUntethered]

I’m not educated enough to know that. Thanks for the correction!
