So they're using electro-magnets? What's the draw on that?

I don’t have to strap down the filing cabinet anymore, I just have to remember to turn on the magnet.

Great for removing old dental fillings. Rappers better pay attention to this new Ford feature too...

Sounds like I can quickly turn my truck back into a daily driver at the flip of a switch when I pull the light AAA out of the bed.

There's a good reason for the magnetic beds. People that park their Ford trucks with aluminum beds on the street are finding that the recycling trucks are picking them up on garbage day. Now they will stick to the top of the garbage truck and be easier to find.

That's the next hot thing the thief's can steal while their cutting out the catalytic converters.
