Can you still get manual hubs, or am I living in the past ??
(looks like them in the picture,but can't tell if they're real) My 2011 has hubs that are both electronic and manual. While driving I can switch them in. However if I'm stuck and can't get the wheels to roll to engage, I can step out and turn the hubs by hand. Best of both worlds. Same here. Hadda use 'em once too.  Now the folding mirrors on the other hand, worst of any world... No problems with the folding mirrors (yet) on my truck - just don't try to use 'em in the winter if really cold and/or snow/ice on the joints.. Also like the powered extension feature when pulling the camper.. Make sure your fillings ain't loose when ya steam into town with THAT.. Does it come with heated/cooled seats?

Speaking of folding mirrors....
Bossman smacked another superduty (2015) mirror to mirror.
Bought a new one from ford, price was north of $1000.00.
That's right...over $1000.00 for 1 mirror.
No labor, mirror only......... > $1000.00

No labor, mirror only......... > $1000.00 I read an article on the new F-150 that discussed the cost to repair the aluminum body. They smacked a new truck with a sledge hammer to simulate being in a fender bender. In the process, they broke the tail light. On some models of this truck, the tail light houses a blind spot monitoring sensor. The new tail light cost? Just a shade under $900.

look at it this way, running 80 on the interstate you can easily fold the mirrors in to reduced wind resistance

If I wanted a pickup that looked as ugly as a GMC I'd buy a GMC. It's impossible to buy real pickup these days. They are all catering to city dwelling panty wasted types. They're so full of girly gadgets and features they seem cramped in the cab, yet none are as durable in hard use as the older trucks.
I'll keep my old 7.3 PSD & my '75 F250. Either one will out work one of these new ones. Living in the past is a hobby all its own.
