I feel the same way about feature bloat on pickup trucks. I don't need a tailgate that opens and closes itself, but it's a mandatory add-on if you want to buy the extended battery for any F-150 lightning. Trucks are meant for work, not loading them up with luxury bullshit.

Trucks are meant for work

When I see the size of them and the pristine condition they are in, I seriously doubt it's the case for most pick up owners.

Tell me about it. It's ruined the truck market for those of us that need/want one for work/light duty.

Same.

Plus these guys are kinda all assholes that seem to compensate for something? Man, if I had a nickel for every time one of those tailgates me...
