[QUOTE="amREADY, post: 1606275, member: 36210"] I had a clown show of 3 different salesmen trying to sell me my truck. All saying contradictory info about it that was wrong. I get that dealerships are their own 'dynasty's' but if I was Ford, I'd move closer to a franchise model with basic standards for parts, service, and sales. 2 of those 3 test drove with me and did the whole 'I have to drive it off the lot, then you can drive thing' In doing so, both almost wrecked the truck. They typically didn't allow Raptor test drives at all, so these guys were in full clown mode. Re the mode button. I agree with the OP and other comments. I found it counterintuitive and since I have a '19, some of the menu is different. But still the same basic problem of small button, not a different texture or color, can easily jump into 4x4 modes on pavement (thankfully interlocked out) and if I had the ability to reorder the menu to suit the modes, that would be awesome. Overall it was more of an issue when I was new to the truck, but I'm still aware of the finicky interface. The first time I was offroad and in a 4x4 mode, I just assumed the truck would remember I was in 4x4. That isn't something that magically disappears when you stop the truck to take a leak. Anyway, back into Normal 2wd and luckily I didn't really get after it. I did have that face for a second, like WTF is going on? [/QUOTE]
