10 Driver Friendly Features of the 2015 F-150
Originally posted on Automotive Fleet
Buttons clustered for ease of use: All lighting controls - headlamps, side spotlights, bed light - are grouped together on the left-hand side of the instrument panel and all radio controls are to the right and below with the climate controls.
Entertainment information exclusively in center stack: Ford made a decision not to include any radio or entertainment features in the instrument panel behind the steering wheel. The only entertainment information that appears in the instrument cluster of the F-150 are incoming calls and directions.
Four-spoke steering wheel: F-150's traditional, four-spoke design allows for a comfortable grip on the lower portion of the steering wheel.
Grooves in the tailgate handle: For ease of grip and use, grooves in the tailgate handle allow a you to open and close the tailgate with one hand.
Hard buttons on keypad: Pickup truck drivers prefer tactile feedback, allowing easier usability for when they're wearing gloves. They also allow input by feel rather than just by sight.
Beltline armrest on front doors: The beltline on the front doors is wide enough to accommodate most arms with the window up and it is the same height as the center armrest.
Sculpted finger relief inside door handle for easy hold: When grabbing the inside handle, the hand is already holding the door- a helpful feature to avoid losing control of the door.
Steering wheel feel: Finger indents on the back of the steering wheel give a lighter feel for ease of maneuverability, especially when backing up a trailer or off-roading.
MyView productivity screen customization: MyView allows customers to sort and organize their top seven favorite gauges in the cluster on the 2015 F-150's 8 inch screen.
Large box step: Ford made sure there was enough surface area on the box step of F-150 for a person to place a full-size work boot.
