Climbing in is easier than you'd think because the door opening curls under to the floor and assist handles are well-placed. Side steps are available.
Seats are well-placed and offer a superb view out. The available captain's chairs offer plenty of support and adjustability, for 600 miles without stopping in the diesel's case. The tilt wheel, memory system and adjustable pedals allow great flexibility for his-and-hers seating positions, a nice feature. With the available front bench seat, front-seat passengers may find the deep dash compromises knee and foot room, especially if the driver needs the seat forward.
Adults can fit in the rear of the SuperCab, but we recommend the Crew Cab if adult-sized back-seat riders are expected on a regular basis.
Primary controls for the driver are all easy to find and use, with few tiny buttons to complicate driving with gloves. The reverse parking sensor helps when maneuvering in tight places and can be defeated when hooking up a trailer or anytime you don't want it to beep. The short shifter for the automatic is less effort but more precise than before. The daytime running lights can be turned off for good neighborly night-time entries to campgrounds or drive-ins.
The ventilation system is capable of cooling or heating the cavernous volume and keeping forward windows and mirrors clear, and seat heaters are very effective; a supplemental cab heater is available for diesel models.
The navigation system is fairly intuitive and will be familiar to Ford family drivers.
Ford's Tow Command integrated trailer brake system is easy to set up and provides better, smoother trailer braking control than any aftermarket controller. However, it may not be compatible with all trailer disc-brake systems, and you can not modify the wiring harness so your fifth-wheel pigtail (or extension) must reach to the rear bumper. Next Page
