Things you never knew your car did!

My Oakley's are pretty big sunglasses I've had an issue with them getting stuck in the sunglass holder before.

Same, I've got a pair of Oakley Holbrooks which are decently large and they fit fine.

It can hold pens! I never seen the pen holder in the center console untill last night.

Funny, when I read this I discovered the pen holder and then noticed my F150 crew also has the same thing in the center console. A surprise 4 years after I got it!!!

I actually keep an umbrella in there lol. I'm thinking maybe ford meant it to hold umbrellas like the ones in a Rolls Royce.

This is exactly what I do.

Car blasts the backup warning loud enough for people outside to hear.

It really bothers me that you can’t do the same thing with the lock button and roll the windows up

That's one of my biggest pet peeves about a Mustang. I know it has to do with safety and the frameless window, but if Ford engineers lived in the South, they'd figure out a way to make it work. (hot humid days so you want to leave your windows cracked, but afternoon thunderstorms almost every day keep you from doing that)

Just tried out the trouble tap to roll windows down. Works like a charm! Also wish the went up with the lock function!

The first thing thought I had after reading that was, "Can I fit a shotgun in there?". You might be a redneck if...

There's a KA-BAR in mine.

The blank screen on the digital dash that you can scroll to under the trip monitor (the one that shows tire pressure, mpg, and/or trip distance) actually shows turn by turn directions if you have a destination set in the factory navigation.

Just realized that a few weeks ago. For the first 6 months I just thought Ford put it there to have the option of nothing on the screen.

Depends on the design. the Escort ZX2 is a frameless design and I have never seen anyone mention leaking on those forums and in some cases the cars are 20+yrs old now and daily drive/non garage kept. Normally if the window auto goes down its to make sure the window glass clears something while moving to prevent damage.

Can't speak to the Escort comment, but the slight down when door opens and up after door closes is to prevent long-term damage to window seat and seals from increased air pressure when closing doors.

No such thing as an ex-Marine.

Y'all must have tiny heads. My sunglasses don't come close to fitting in the "sunglasses holder".

I assumed it was a magazine rack, a 9 mm one I mean !

I found this on page 69 of the manual......... It tells you how to put a fully loaded hockey equipment bag & a cooler full of Coors into the trunk. Mission accomplished!

Since it hasn't been mentioned here yet; last week I learned from @teetoppz28 that Android Auto works with the USB in the center console and that there's a space to route the cable out of the center console!

Does Android only work with that usb? I know that Apple CarPlay works with both usb locations, but how well it works is sensitive to having everything updated to latest versions.
