Did you know there’s a hidden feature in the Ford F-150? When people buy a new truck, they often get excited about the big things: the power, the design, and the technology. But sometimes the most useful features are hidden in places you wouldn’t expect. That’s exactly what is happening with the Ford F-150.
Drivers have recently discovered a clever hidden feature inside the Ford infotainment system that makes life a lot easier. Instead of carrying a thick paper manual in the glovebox, you can now access the entire owner’s manual directly on the screen inside your Ford truck. So, let’s find out more about this convenient idea.
Why this Ford feature matters
Every car or truck usually comes with a paper manual, these books can be 300 pages long and take up space in your glovebox. They are useful, but not always easy to search through when you just want a quick answer. Let’s be honest, not many people read them because they are too long…
That’s why the company has solved this problem for F-150 drivers by putting the entire manual inside the truck’s infotainment system. This feature saves time, saves space, and can even save money if your truck didn’t come with a printed manual.
How to find the hidden manual
Don’t think because it’s hidden it’s difficult to find it. Once you know where to look, it’s easy-peasy:
On the bottom right corner of the infotainment screen, there is a small truck icon labeled “Features” so you just tap it and a menu will appear. Here, you will see a hidden option called “Owner’s Manual,” where you will see the full digital manual open right on the screen.
What makes it special
This isn’t just a boring PDF file, the company made the manual interactive. So, you can:
- Search by keyword: For example, type “Power” in the search bar, and all features with that word appear.
- Watch video tutorials: Many features include step-by-step videos that show you exactly how to use them.
The Ford Power Boost
One feature highlighted in the manual is the Ford Power Boost, which turns the F-150 into a generator. Yes, you’ve read right.
If you are camping or working outdoors, you can use the Power Boost to plug in equipment or even power a small appliance. Instead of buying and carrying a separate generator, your Ford truck provides the energy you need.
This is one reason people say the Ford F-150 is more than just a truck, it’s a tool for work and fun.
Real savings for Ford drivers
One Ford driver commented online that this hidden manual saved him $40 because buying a paper one would have cost him $30 plus $10 shipping. Thanks to the digital version, he didn’t need to spend that money.
This shows how the company is helping customers by making information more accessible.
Excitement
Of course, Ford fans are the first people interested in what the brand’s cars have to offer them because: They make owning a truck more convenient, they show that the company is thinking about real driver needs, and they prove that technology in trucks can be practical, not just flashy.
The Ford F-150 has always been known for strength and reliability. Now it’s also gaining attention for hidden smart features that improve the driving experience.
So, the next time you sit in a Ford F-150, don’t forget to tap the “Features” icon. You might discover something new that makes your truck even more useful. It’s amazing how much technology in the automotive industry is advancing, isn’t it? Now we can use cars as generators… It’s crazy!
