module, which immediately let me
know the trailer lights and connec-
tions were good-to-go, sped up the
trailering process.
Voice-activated navigation, the
lane-departure warning system
and the 360-degree camera view
made it easy to know where I was
and how to get where I wanted to
go. The keyless start/stop feature
meant I never had to fish for the
ignition keys.
Between MyFord Touch and the
productivity display in the instru-
ment cluster display, there didn't
seem to be any piece of informa-
tion, climate or audio control that
wasn't at my fingertips. Knowledge
is power.
I was impressed with the truck's
interior quietness and how smooth-
ly the voice-activation system
worked even over gravel roads
and pavement that wasn't much
smoother.

Access to the front and rear seats in the new F-150s is excellent. The front
doors have been shortened some 2 inches so the rear doors could be made
longer, greatly increasing access to the rear of the SuperCrew with zero
negative impact up front. Legroom is impressive.
Having both "sport" and "tow" modes gives the driver three
transmission shift modes that help the 3.5L EcoBoost V-6 de-
liver the power and downshift braking as needed. Each mode
noticeably changes the F-150's responsiveness.
