With the new pics out the last few days, looks like it will age front object sensors.  I’m curious about the dual rooftop boxes....obviously one would be for sat radio.

With Sync 4, wifi, sat radio they need 2 antennas to handle everything.

 

I'm glad they moved them to the rear. Washing or removing snow is a pain with that shark fin on the front.

I've always wondered why the satellite antenna is off to one side.  On my 2010 F150 Lariat the wart is centered on the passenger side roof just above the windshield.  Any idea why they just didn't center it on the roof?

 

BTW, "shark fin" - ?

Yep not just the F-150, but every OEM seems to have off-center satellite antenna which it never looked good.

 

I suppose it's slightly better than GM in the early days of satellite radio when they put it on the front in hopes to save a few feet of wires..

Maybe its just me, but I like the look of having the shark fin in the center of the roof vs off to one side.

 

I'm guessing Ford put it off to the side for aerodynamic reasons?

 

 


I noticed the other day GM has it above the steering wheel on their new trucks
