I didn’t see any comments about this topic related to their poll. Obviously we can’t see the number of respondents or anything about the integrity of their poll, but 96% want physical controls retained. It’s seems removing physical controls is a maligned process. Do you think Ford is paying attention to things like this?
I hope so, because as a Ford product buyer, I despise the relocation of controls to the screen. I prefer the tactile response I get from a button.
Missing the point-only a handful of those 35K mavericks might actually have an issue.
It’s just like the Valve spring issue with the 2.7L on the Bronco.
That is pretty much the same arrangement as my daughter’s 23 Escape. I’m personally not a fan of it. At least in her Escape it was completely unnecessary to move the push button start from where it was located on her 20, as such they wouldn’t have had to move the volume knob to the far side.
It’s a stupid arrangement. Ultimately they took away most of the physical controls and move them to the screen, when they really only needed to add a bigger screen in place of the old one and leave everything else in place. Another instance of where it really only benefits Ford, not the consumer.
I’ve not heard of that particular Forscan option. Try f150forum.com - if it’s possible somebody there figured it out (drive modes generically not yours specifically). Should be similar if possible.
