3.5 Ecoboost - SHO vs F150

[CroR1]

As a former Mercedes and current BMW owner good luck trying to fix or troubleshoot a problem when your out of warranty,also there are over a dozen of modules that are related to the ECU.

this is scary, with the technology advancing and dealers being the only ones to be able to keep up with it. being out of warranty and not being able to mod while under warranty, and yet the biggest down turn is the luck of information and aftermarket support, which makes the troubleshooting harder for most of us. seems like a good time to start leasing these cars and just toying with them for the first few years, and then moving on to the next one.

A lot of people that shop for cars in this range lease.  The SHO has horrible residual #s (52%), so you need a ton of rebates to make it worthwhile when comparing a monthly payment vs a $50K BMW, Lexus, or Acura that has a 60%+ residual.

The '15 F-150 looks awesome inside.  Need to see one in person for the outside, looks like a mini SuperDuty in the pics.

Is the heated steering wheel button only on the touch screen?  Figure they would have put a real button somewhere.  Main thing I dislike with my SHO is how everything is on the touchscreen.  Wish there were real buttons for HVAC, climate seat, heated steering wheel, etc.

In regards to TSB the SHO outshines the F150  http://www.fordproblems.com/tsbs/ in overall.
