The shifter can "stow" away to open up a flat work space for laptops, etc. But I wonder how quick that will jam up due to debris, crumbs etc being caught in the mechanism.

Available Max Recline front seats can also go into a sleeper mode, reclining to nearly 180 degrees, and lifts the seat bottom up to be flush with the seat back.

Lots of connected data features

Powerboost Hybrid coming as well pairing the 3.5L EcoBoost V6 with 35 kw electric motor, small battery.

The new hybrid EcoBoost adds a 47-horsepower electric motor to the 10-speed gearbox, which should put the new model over the 400 horsepower number. It’ll have a tiny 1.5 kWh battery onboard, which recharges with regenerative braking. Ford says the hybrid system won’t be affected by extreme temperatures, or heavy loads.
Interesting hybrid setup. Toyota Tundra this is the spec to beat!

Overall
I`m liking the
-Power generation for tools
-Work focused features
-infotainment and instrumentation upgrades

Evolutionary rather the revolutionary changes to the best selling vehicle in the world

Ford beats the hybrid king to market for a hybrid pickup truck. Not really counting the dual mode GM's that were out for a hot minute.

What is it about today's full-size pickups that they have to have a console wide enough to land an airplane on?

Ho-hum styling. Headlights look frumpy and the taillights appear too large. Interior seems somewhat interesting. Overall, not my cup of tea.

interior is improved still isnt as good as Ram. It looks like a bunch of squares for the interior. So they made the shifter power folding so you can use the flattop console for work? Added complexity when they couldve used an electronic shifter to free up space

I like it, As for the shifter, a lot of truck customers don't like electronic shifters. As fir the wide console, its for storage and work. A lot of people store laptops and large clipboards and things of that nature in the console, so it needs to be wide,

I was in a buddy's new Ram LongHorn the other day...its incredibly nice,
