[QUOTE="GordoJay, post: 1473068, member: 39584"] I'm busy shopping for Raptors and can't wait for the shutdown to end so that I can go ****** the hardware. I'm looking online at three different vehicles with slightly different levels of tech. 2020 801A, 802A, and 2019 802A without the technology package. I'm not a big fan of tech in cars. My wife bought a 2018 Subaru that's loaded and I find many of the features annoying, although most of it can be turned off. For all the tech, it still does stupid stuff like run the battery down if you leave a door ajar overnight. Even my 2003 Dodge 3/4 ton was smart enough to turn the dome light off after a while. I don't mind the keyless entry. The adaptive cruise is OK, but useless in normal freeway driving around here as everyone tailgates at 75 and will cut into a three-car gap, causing a brake slam. Things like voice-activated navigation seem silly - I've had one of those in my pocket for years and it works just fine. It even makes phone calls. :) Things like power mirrors are nice. Lane keep assist is evil. Blind spot warning is OK, but I'm well-trained to lean forward and check my mirrors. A torsen would be nice. The price difference is huge. Lots of trade offs, and I'm torn between full bling and maybe higher/easier resale and spending a bunch of money on stuff I won't like or use. And more features means more stuff to stop working. I keep leaning back and forth. Anyway, I'm looking for opinions on how well Ford does the tech stuff and your ideas on which setup I might like. TIA. [/QUOTE]
