  • Taillight scales in F150



    "Smart taillamps operate like the battery charge indicator on a mobile phone, displaying the percentage of payload capacity by illuminating LEDs arranged in a built-in vertical bar. As the truck is loaded, all four lights illuminate, showing it’s fully loaded. If the truck is overloaded, the top lights blink. The maximum payload based on the pickup’s configuration is programmed into the system. Additionally, the truck can be set on scale mode, which zeroes out the current load and allows for approximate weighing of additional items loaded into the bed."


    Seems kinda snitchy

    The person who wrote that article seems like the type to wear two masks and already have a 3rd shot.

    I like the idea for personal use, but it shouldn't be publicized via the taillight for all to see.

        That would make picking up fat chicks at last call even more embarrassing.

              I don't see this as big brother tech, it's more of an optional gimmick. Depending on how accurate the scale will be, it won't be a cheap option.

                It shouldn't be expensive; the only thing it will need is a pentameter ride height sensor on the back.

                  I can already see the ambulance chasers salivating over this new piece of technology to be added to pickup truck. The TV commercial ideas are already in the works!
