7 Ford Truck Hidden Features!!

7 Ford Truck Hidden Features!!
Your Ford Truck can do a lot of stuff that you don't even know about! I've had my truck for almost 2 years and I'm STILL learning what It can do! They're not exactly secrets, but dude, most people don't know how to use half the buttons on their Ford pickups. I have a Ford F350 XL Dually, which is the base model - and even the base truck has a lot of cool features! Whether you have Ford F150, F250, or F350, you probably have all or most of the hidden features I'm sharing.

The featured F350 is the truck I use to tow my fifth wheel, a 38' toy hauler. If I wasn't towing something that big, there's no way I'd have this truck! But it's the right truck for the job.

I have an 08 base model. Nothing fancy for a work truck. The one thing I like best is I can start truck and then put the key back in my pocket.
I am constantly losing my keys. This is a huge help.
And during the summer I can leave my best bud in the a/c and not worry, just lock the doors and put key in pocket. Frigging awesome

Here's a bonus for you.... Hit traction control button 2 times quick and you will put the truck into Sport Mode!!!

[johnsimpson]

Hit traction control 2 times fast puts it in sport mode also you can hold brake and traction control at same time for 5 seconds and give you positive traction on my 2018 250 6.7 XLT

We have that air compressor and we truly love it. Your right it’s so difficult to find a compressor that will pump the tires to the needed pressure. You’ll like the convenience tons.

[EckdahlWrestling]

I installed a Viair system. The tank sits perpendicularly between the frame rails above/forward of the spare tire. My twin compressor pumps are mounted above the spare tire. Relays are connected to upfitter switch #1 and air hose quick connect drilled through the bumper. I have up to 200 psi anywhere I need it...

[sheldonlucas]

I’d you double tap traction control it puts mine in advance trac sport mode aswell if you pull out on 4x4 nob it locks up rear differential 😮

[lisa]

If you hit the traction control button twice it’ll put your truck in sport mode. It’s a very nice feature when you need a little more zip. It uses more fuel though so I only use it, for the most part, when pulling out of parking lots and such in heavy traffic.

[trdshortbus]

In my F550 if you tap the engine brake button once it’s on you tap it again it will activate automatically depending on your brake pedal pressure

[steveliedel]

This tip probably only applies to the 2021 and up? But…. in one the most recent Sync 4 updates, you can now turn on any camera, through the touchscreen. Even when mobile!

[paisteplayer]

You should buy the module to activate temps on your motor and trans to display it in numbers instead of just the bar.. I have it in my 16 f150 and love it.

[montyg]

if you hold the traction control button for about 5 seconds, it turns AdvancedTrack off which runs behind Traction Control and is on even if TC is off. If you turn the AT off, TC is also off as well

[brendasmith]

The arrows on the left of the steering column; go to settings, make sure the auto high beam lamp is selected. It’s wonderful the lights brighten and dim when necessary.

[njrvolo]

if you double tap traction control it puts it into advanced sport traction control also!

[gibgarberg]

You have an XL and none of the features are standard on an XL. The large screen doesn't come on the XL does it? Nor do the 4 cameras. If so, I got robbed.

[tinygnat]

My company work truck is an F150 XL. It shares some similarities with your XL truck such as a steering wheel, seats and a windshield. Other than that, that's about it. 😕🤣

[gsxrcom]

Apparently XL’s have been substantially chopped since 2018, my factory ordered 2022 fully loaded F350 XL doesn’t have the flip up secondary glove box, just a pocket with no door and it also doesn’t have any accent colored dash bezels. Just plain black like everything else. Favorite option, tailgate step. Will never own another truck without optioning it.

[steverosenberger]

I changed my reverse to leds. They are so bright it makes it look like daylight for the cameras. On my 2015 Super Duty.

[krazyivan]

A quick note, and I am not sure if it is still this way. But, the traction control button. If you fast click it, it will only partially disable it. If you want to fully disable, you have to hold the button down for about 5 seconds.

[bardstables]

I did know about all those, but still a good video. I'll say I have adaptive cruise control and I love it. Not so much on a4 lane highway as I tend to get lulled into just driving then realize I got behind some cool doing 40 for the last 10 miles. But for 2 lame roads it's a godsend.

[SaltyVetAdventures]

Well done! I agree with the Apple Car Play and adaptive cruise.
