Couple of Questions about the 15's
Hey guys. I've gone back like 26 pages and still can't find what I was looking for. So here's to hoping you guys can help me out.
Seriously thinking about ordering a Ecoboost Premium. I really want a V6 but can't get the 50th appearance package and leather with a V6 and seriously can't swing the GT, Ecoboost it is. But I still have a couple of questions about the 15.
Can you still change the back lighting of the gauges like I can in my 05 & 09? How in the heck does the select shift auto work, I've never had to drive a stick and really don't want to learn now? Also, we take our 09 on a few road trips every year. How does the trunk space and overall cargo room in the 15 compare to the 05-09, less, more, bout the same? Just wondering how much cap we will need to pair down next road trip? Also I noticed only 4 gauges, are the other 2 on there but digital or not at all? Also do you recommend the package with the blind spot and cross traffic alert?
Thanks guys. I know they're kinda crazy questions but I rather ask ya'll than have to go to go deal with a dealership just to look at one. Being a single woman and going to a car dealer is quiet the experience.

You can select 1 additional digital gauge to show in the screen between the tach and speedometer. If you want additional "real" gauges you have to get the performance pack. This will give you boost and oil temp or oil pressure. Not exactly sure on the second gauge.
I have the BLIS and cross traffic in my Explorer. I really like the Blis system. It works very well especially at night when the car is situated just so and you can't see their headlights in your mirror, this system can still sees them and alerts you to them. Hopefully they have worked on the cross traffic system. In the Explorer it gives so many false alarms that it's laughable. It has warned me that a fence, a brick wall and a tree are approaching. (And I know the difference between the cross traffic alert and the backup sensors).

The 2015 appears to have more space than previous generations. The trunk's shape is definitely more user friendly than the 2005-2014
I strongly recommend the EcoBoost over the V6. It actually pulls pretty hard, and is a much better platform than the dated 3.7L V6 IMO
