Extended cab with rear half doors and 8ft bed, roll down rear one piece glass with defrost, lose the sunroof. I wouldn't mind some proper front control arm length, in the rear replacing the panhard bar for a watts link as and proper length control arms as well. Maybe a compound turbo 4 or 5 cyl diesel. Oh and the biggest thing would be a proper folding bench seat covered in (gasp) non-stain cloth. Unfortunately such a truck doesn't exist

I have no idea what to add to help with the ride (adjusting tire psi doesn't help with this ride) but if it was within reason I would love to make my truck ride better. I like the truck for the most part but it is miserable to drive compared to other 3/4 tons I've owned and driven.

I got an ecodiesel, going back to purchase day I would go Hemi. No other reason than the sound, i really miss having a good sounding vehicle.

Massage in the seat - can't believe the Limited doesn't come with that.

The mirrors are a plus somehow. I only have a Bighorn without the traffic warning mirrors. I can adjust the mirror so I can see a vehicle in either the convex mirror or the main mirror at all times, without a blind spot. My previous 2018 F-150 had a very similar mirror and I always had a blind spot. I haven't figured out the difference just happy it's there.

IF it could tell me the correct lures & colours, for each species of fish, for each lake, I am driving towards.
Letting me know exact GPS cordinates and depths would be handy too.

They have fish finders now - Garmin, Humminbird, etc - that will actually show your lure coming through the water back to the boat.

I would like if they went back to using R-134 in the A/C. The A/C in my wife’s 2016 Ford is way colder with the R-134 and will freeze your but off. The newer stuff is way more expensive and not as efficient or cold.

A manual 6 speed with an overdrive.

Other than a 68 440 GTX, that I sold in 2007, My truck is the only vehicle I've owned in the last 30+ years that wasn't a manual transmission.

I sometimes miss the granny gear and lock in hubs, that you could just let it crawl to the top of the steep rocky, rutted roads with.

Yah, with my RAM, ima little spoiled at times with the auto, but given a choice, I will always pick the clutch over the automatic and always pick a mopar over any brands.
