Overall size is great. The height, I'd much prefer the truck to be lower in the back. I'll get that taken care of in the near future.

There are continuing rumors that Ford may come out with an even smaller truck. There's definitely a market, the question is how SMALL a market.
Fixed it for you :giggle:

I thought my 2010 was right size but sprung too high. The 2019 feels like the old F-100 or 90's F-150 size to me but I'll get used to it or get something else.

Mine is 4 1/2 inches higher in the rear than the front. The tailgate height is also the same as my son's F-150 Lariat 4X4.

In an ideal world, I'd go with slightly lower, especially in the back. Length is good, and I'd even take slightly longer if the extra length all went to the bed.

Now that it has been established that most of the dislikes are the height of the rear, how are people with this dislike going to fix this?

I already did. I boosted the front up 2.5" so it matches the rear. ;)

I am coming from a 2003 Range that has been my go to vehicle. I love that truck and may sell it someday. The new truck just seems huge. I am struggling with parking it and it's size. I feel like I have been driving an F-16 and now I am driving a B-52. I guess I will get used to it but I wish it was a little shorter and not as tall. I would have bought the extended cab if the overall length would have been shorter.
My Ranger seems big to me (which it is compared to my Hyundai Accent). But when I park it next to a F-150 I can see it's not all that big. I have absolutely no problem parking it (except straight :giggle:). Love that truck!!!!:inlove:
