Just a thought:
1: Buy your own locking gas cap.
They make locking gas caps for the Navi? $65000 it should come equipped with an automatic locks.
2: I put my own DVD head rest system in, but my kids can listen to a CD in the stock head unit while I listen to FM, so maybe review the owners manual for the proper operation. As for the TV tuners, I don't think so. That would require antennaes that really don't work anyhow.
I've owned aftermarket DVD/TV system in my other rides, but I was hoping they could intergrate them in the next line up of production. I've also reviewed my owners manuals, and also called Fords electronic customer service rep. and they agknowleged that was something that they will look at. OK, TV tuners was probably not a good idea anyways.
3: Sirius is a option. You can have it dealer installed or do it yourself. I am glad it's not an factory option, just for the sake that almost all vehicles are dealer ordered and so most people would be paying for something they don't want. Check out Caddys price for XM. BTW for the Lincolns a DVD is installed to remap the touch screen, turning the FM2 button into SAT. Ebay has OEM units for about 250.00
HMMM, I will surely check this out. Thanks.
4: Third row buttons up front is not safe. Lincoln used to have them by the rear doors and they deleted them due to safety issues. As for up front why? If you need to put the seats down wouldn't you be by the back door anyhow?
Why is a safety issue when usually load up my kid through the passenger doors and not through the trunk. It will help with the unnessery opening of the tailgate
5: Most people don't tow. Buy some mirror extensions from an RV shop which will work better anyhow.
I'm not trying to pull an RV or a wide load. Extensions? Those are FUGLY. I cant remember,but my brothers Excursion has them integrated into his mirror from the factory. It was a simple fix. I just went to Autozone and bought a small dome shaped mirror( convex mirror?) and placed them.
6: The odds of the running boards preventing a door ding is minimal at best. Besides what are you doing in Wal-Mart anyhow? Seriously, park farther out.
It actually helps with alot of dents from minivans, and cars. It doesn't help with trucks, and hi vehicles. I sometimes go to Wal-mart because its convenient, and not everyone want to dine out everyday. I seriously park at the farthest empty stallwith no one around, and everytime I come out theres cars parked next to me. Easy fix with the running boards out. I open drivers door,passenger door, and pulled the 25amp fuse. Now it always out.
7: Yeah I agree on this but you can get an inch lower with adjusting the ride hieght sensors yourself.
You can adjust the ride hieght? I guess i didn't get that far on the owners manual.
Look I am not trying to pick a fight but if you have this many complaints then maybe it's not the vehicle for you. I am not the most pleased due to too many warrenty issues that we have to deal with, but I am happy with the vehicle as a whole. Good luck with yours. :W
