Based on your experience with the 2013 vehicle, what kind of things would you like changed/improved in this truck for it's next iteration?

Hope this gives you a chance to talk about the things that SVT hasn't gotten exactly right just yet.

Offer buyers the option to choose a different color patern for seats. Black seats only with a single option of blue inserts does not make any sense!!! I ordered a Red Race SCAB and wanted seats with red inserts. Not available...??? WHY? Also I wanted the larger tank (36 gal) instead of the 26 that comes with a SCAB. Also...not available? Why? If customer wants it and is ready to pay...hello FORD...why not make it available?

even though its a ordered truck, they still do the packages because they can program their computers to build the vehicle that way. after you order the package, it pretty much makes all available options available to be added to the specific vehicle. it sucks, but its a way that they cut costs

What I'd like to see:
-Keyless Entry
-Push-button Start
-LED lights everywhere, get rid of all incandescent bulbs
-Heated steering wheel
-Sterling Grey paint
-Wider or full rear window roll down
-Mid-perch from factory

When I meant keyless entry I didn't mean just the keypad. I mean like Lexus, Audi, etc. where the key never leaves your pocket and it can tell when you grab the handle and unlocks that specific door. My dad's GS has that and it's a great feature.

One of the things I will miss most about my Titan will be the big back window that rolls down. I roll it down almost every time I get in my truck.

Some of the new Audis have OEM LED headlights, but I was not including the headlights. I'm fine with the HID headlights that Ford added this year, but I'd like to see all interior lights, puddle lights, license plate lights, bed lights, taillights, reverse lights in LED.

And I don't want to get a brand new truck painted when Ford HAS the color I want and won't put it on the truck. I'll probably get black again, but it just bugs me.

lucky for me, since i have a lot of knowledge in the 12 volt industry, i can experiment with everything you mentioned, except the paint..... i was wondering about a push button start, and had some ideas
