Great info!
CRAP! I want the head restraints for my rear seats! Is that UConnect built in automatically regardless of radio selection? That would be nice also.
NEW 48RE? Is this just the E-brake friendly modifications?

It's probably just a relabel of the overdrive lockout button.
I bet it will use that same button though and the overdrive lockout will be gone. At least that is exactly what Ford did.
I thought I read somewhere that the tow/haul mode was for manual trannies only though. Although that doesn't make sense either. ???

I had a GM Truck before I saw the light, The TowHaul mode would make the truck sift at a higher RPM's and shift a little Harder.
