Default If the next F150 had a full slide down rear window...

Would truck folks complain about it more than the small sliding power window?

Would they complain that, along with the pano roof, your faux truck is just mid life crisis ego compensating vehicle that will also drain your wallet dry?

Would the only "real truck" left be a XL trim regular cab or 301 XLT?

Will a large segment of truck people always complain and moan about progress until the end of time?

Or would this be absolutely badass, especially with a pano roof, and you would absolutely spec this option for your next transformer-esque convertible-like truck?

I was on vacation in Greece, walking in the woods, saw a curious looking rock, lifted it up, and found what I believe to be a lost manuscript of Aristotle in which he contemplates & philosophizes on these very profound questions. I am willing to share what the old wise one concluded. But only after you weigh in on some of these most important questions of our time.

Idk about the Aristotle mumble-jumble... but about the window, ask the Tundra folks if they like it. If it worked well, was durable, and didn't leak, I'd be fine with it.

Its is one of the only great things left to add. I thought I wanted the smaller sliding til I got one and its useless.

Well, that all depends. Can they make one that doesn't stick, break, leak water, consume quite a bit of payload, and make noise like the pano roof does?

Won't speak for anyone else, but I'd like to have one. Put something akin to the 'vent visors' like on the doors over it and then you can leave it open a small bit in the summer to let the truck get some more air without getting rain in it. And the interior won't be a furnace either.

I hate this vertical slit that opens when I slide my rear window in my 2012. I've got a commercial shell on and there is almost no way to cover it now.

Also agree with tvsjr, has to be high quality or don't want it at all.

People are going to complain no matter what. "You can't please everybody all of the time, you can only hope to please some people some of the time."

This is why these things should be options. And surely a full automatic rear window WOULD be an option.
