Also, what options there used to be that you want back.
Me, I want the turn and high beam indicators on the rear view mirror. Why do they hide them behind the steering wheel unless its all the way up??
Keyless entry key fob should unlock the doors, then if I wish, push it 2 more times and ALL the windows go down. Would be sweet in the summer to let the oven heat out.
Cruise control that has more than one setting for when you're alternating between road construction and road needs construction.

I want an air ride suspension with on board compressor. All pickups should come with a remote starter. No pickup needs a sunroof.

I have a sunroof or rather a moonroof as Toyota calls it and I'll never do without one again. It stays up in the summer and most of the year. It helps keep the cab a heck of a lot cooler when the truck is parked out in the sun and heat and it helps with ventilation too. It tips up in back rather than slides back so I don't get the sun beating down on me when it's open like the sunroof in my wife's Subaru does which slides back. I leave the shade in place all the time.
Actually I have a solar panel stuffed in the moon roof that helps keep the battery charged up when the truck is outside. The shade holds the solar panel in place. That way the glass panel has a use too.

If you click most Honda key fobs twice and hold it down, it lowers all the windows and opens the sun roof if equipped. Worked like this on our 2003 Accord as wel las more recent models.

My Dodge Challenger and my wifes 300C both will lower the windows if you unlock and then hold the unlock button down a second time. It seems like every vehicle I've owned had some little thing about it I liked, roll them all into one vehicle and it would probably be too much stuff and seem clunky.

A truck designed for ease of repair, not necessarily for ease of assembly. I'm not holding my breath waiting on this LOL.

I want a truck that sips gas like a 4 cyl. and the power of a 8cyl.

I would like the cruise control to work like the radio. Be able to dial in what speed I want and save presets.

I always wondered why they don't do this instead of making us dance around with those speed set levers and push buttons.

I had a Passat that you could hold the unlock to lower all windows. But living in the southeast with sudden rain I really wanted the ability to put all windows up.

I miss the little vent windows.
