I think you're off by one. The F150 is a "half ton" class truck, often used for passenger service duty. The F250/F350 ("three quarter ton" and "full ton") are more often used for serious truck work,

That's actually one complaint I have about the 1st gen Chevy Volt - the hazards switch is a physical button... on the right side of the center console, over by the passenger. It's not a location that is either rapid to find if

IMO, yes. Defrost behavior and timing is "serious business" in the car business. Not only is it specifically discussed in the vehicle regulations ( https://www.law.cornell.edu/cfr/text/49/571.103 ),

They're quite similar, and, in fact, there are plenty of engines that can run interchangeably on either (though possibly with a shorter lifespan on pure kerosene - it doesn't have much of the lubricity of diesel, so is really hard
