An option that would be nice in the future. Hit the lock button (3 times) on the FOB and the windows, moon roof and rear slider would close and lock doors. Hit the unlock (3 times) as you walking up and the windows go to previous setting and unlock doors.

Also, not sure if this exists or not, but it would be nice to have a button on the dash that would open the tailgate. Can't stand having to use the FOB every time on my 18'. I'm always picking kids up for hockey and have to scramble to find and use the FOB every time. This would be for the regular tailgate, not the powered.

If you opt for the power tailgate option, the truck will have a button by the headlight toggle knob to open and close it from the inside.

On previous vehicles, I could hit the unlock button twice, and on the second press, hold the button for 5-10 seconds, and the windows and sunroof would open. I could do the same with the lock button and everything would close up. I just tried it with the truck, and no dice.

I saw that this was a feature on previous Ford vehicles so thought I'd try it with my 2021...no luck :(

One feature I'd love to see is an option within SYNC to disable the notorious double honk. I know a lot of people go the FORSCAN route to eliminate this annoyance, but with vehicles nowadays being so technologically advanced, it would be great to have a simple toggle in the infotainment system to turn this off.

I don't think this will ever be possible. The honk is a federally mandated requirement so that you can't accidentally leave your car running in your garage to fill your house with carbon monoxide. Too much liability to offer a way to disable it from Ford, if it's even an option legally speaking

Then how about giving us the option to change it from a honk to something more subdued, like the PowerBoost reverse beep. If it's legally adequate for a moving vehicle, should be good enough for a stationary one.

I agree with that. My Subaru just made a high pitched whine noise, much much more subtle. Almost unnoticeable.

I hope some Ford engineers are watching this thread for ideas.

A feature that would use the 360 camera to take a 360 picture if the alarm is activated. Then sent to the Ford App.
How about being able to use the 360 cams as DVR’s as in dashcams like Tesla does. That would be really cool.
