Push button start location

[mav_can]

Never an issue with me, but the '25 might be in a different location due to the new screen layout. FYI, the location of the USB ports is different on the Lariat. Mine are almost all the way on the left of the console and even the passenger knees don't seem to affect them. The push button is also slightly recessed. I don't see how a knee would affect it.
EDIT: Actually, looking at some videos of the '25, the start and usb ports seem to be close if not identical to my '23. That said, I don't think it would be an issue. The button doesn't stick out at all. I think you would have to be wearing spiked knee pads for it to be an issue.

Is it just me or does the screen look crooked? It sticks out farther to the right than the left.

definitely is not centered.

there is an MTC forum member who did the upgrade with virtually the same screen and it was off center.

hilarious to me that @Ford Motor Company would do the same thing but then again I’m not surprised.

I’m still a whore for the larger screen so I guess they win.

I can't imagine how a knee makes contact with the USB ports.
You must be long and lanky.

Or………Lanky and Long

Anyone that has the push button start do you find the location annoying or hit it with your knee? My current xlt does not have one but my 25 will. My knee is close and sometimes bumps the usb ports. Does the push button start stick out even farther than the USB ports?

Scoot your seat back

Button location is fine.
Yes, a little low so you have to ‘reach’ for it; but took all of a few days to get used to it.
You should be pressing it by accident. Even if your knee is near there, the part you press is slightly recessed.

It's definitely in an odd spot but at 6'1 I haven't had an issue with where it will be located (my Tremor had the key as well).

I did however blast my knee numerous times on the headlight knob and where the trailer brake is going to be (I like to be a bit closer than most 6'1 drivers).

When you are "THERE" you know you are close!

I’m 6”1 and never had a problem with it maybe you’re just sitting to close to the steering wheel. I can slide my seat back and I’m actually sitting almost to far back to feel comfortable driving.

Absolutely no issue.

I wish it were higher up than it is. It's quite a bit lower than any other vehicle I've owned with a pch button start. Aside from that, it isn't a knee hazard for me.

The only way your knee is going to hit it is if your knee is shaped like a pencil or a pointer
It’s low it’s recessed and for the first month I couldn’t find it

kind of typical for Ford, in my opinion. my wife's Bronco has it fairly low, also. not quite this low, but the console is shaped differently and it's in the same place to the extent it can be. it's not like some brands where it's higher, mid-dash or so.

My wife has a Bronco Sport and it's in a good location.

I still can't process how a driver's knee can get to the USB ports.

That's interesting. My other vehicle is a Lincoln MKZ, and I'm quite pleased with the start button there. Of course, there are two significant differences: 1. It's a Lincoln (cousin), and 2. It's a sedan. Still, I find that interesting.

You need a USB adapter.

Sorry, I couldn't resist.
