I do my own maintenance and repairs whenever I can. I have a '57 Custom 2 dr sedan, 2000 Crown Victoria PI, 2003 Mercury Marauder, 2009 Crown Victoria PI, '79 F-150, '79 f-350, '97 F-350, and a 1996 F-53 Chassis Class A Motorhome, so I am kept busy with maintenance.
I appreciate engineering that accounts for maintenance and repair ease of access. A newer F Series that requires cab and bed removal for many repair operations, precludes my interest or consideration to purchase.
For Ford to continue to be a leader, as they were with going to F-Series aluminum bodies, make the F-Series with a tilt front end, and (maybe) follow the Ram lead of an air-bag rear suspension.
