4) Blind spot monitoring light INSIDE the truck, maybe on the A-pillar, or plastic panel in the corner of the window. My wife's QX80 has a nice light inside the vehicle and it's A LOT easier to see out of your prereferral

@WalterMitty I saw a thread someone put an led light in the sail trim on inside of door and tapped into the blis in mirror.

The "kids car" CRV has this feature, and I love it...especially for my sometimes absent minded kids.
I might be the odd one out, but my wife's CX-5 has it and it drives me nuts when I'm cleaning it or changing the oil. I'm so used to keeping my key in my pocket now that having to leave it behind to prevent it from constantly locking feels wrong.

My wife's 4Runner has it and she never uses it. I rarely do when I drive it. About the only time that window goes up or down is when I accidently set something on the button to make it go down since it's right on the console.

I would probably only use it in the spring and fall if it were on my truck.

I was referring to the auto lock feature.

A longer or adjustable delay, 0 to 10 seconds, as to when the Auto High Beams turn back on. I find that on some roads around me, where the high beams will turn on just as a car passes, but I can see another one coming. So my lights go LOW HIGH LOW in just a couple of seconds. I am for ever turning off that feature. I drove a GM on a long road trip, 950 miles, and the high beams seemed like there was a 5 second delay before they turned on high after a car passed.
The camera for the auto high beams is situated above the rearview mirror stalk which is intended to "see" oncoming headlights or tail lights ahead of you when there are hills (above your line of sight) I find the speed of the system to be very effective for the deer in my area while also not blinding oncoming drivers

Sprayers for the front and rear cameras, lock/unlock sensors in the rear door handles, more comfortable back seat.
All trims don't have front camera sprayers?

Funny thing is I have 2 modern fords and their headlight behavior is very different. My MME loves to flash people, the F150 doesn't have any issues.

They ditched them at some point. My 2020 had one, my 2023 doesn't. Honestly, I'm fine with that. On my 2020, the jet leaked badly any time it got cold. There was a TSB to replace the jet and the dealer did that, but it didn't help.

I guess that's what I get for only reading the first sentence while I'm trying to do something else. :)
