New Truck 1 Thing I really Like (so far)
I have a 2 day old Screw with about 100 miles on it so still getting to know it.
I am one of those strange people (according to my wife) who doesn't really like AC and would prefer to drive with the windows open. Most new vehicles are terrible when the driver side window is down with massive wind buffeting. Yesterday I opened the rear sliding and drivers window and I could not believe it, there was hardly any direct wind on me, it was great! A little thing but one that is very important to me!

Well I like having the rear slider but have absolutely no intention of ever using it. I don't know why I have the inclination to have it but I do. As for rolling down the windows, I haven't done that since I could afford a vehicle with AC.

I like cracking a window on nice days with the rear slider open. Nice air movement and nice and quiet. I wouldn't get a truck without one.

During the Florida "winter", I tend to have all of my windows down, the rear slider and sunroof open. Love my rear slider. It's open anytime the windows are down.

The rear slider is a great way to dump excess heat out of the cab when I first start the truck up... otherwise, it doesn't get used much.

I'm somewhat the opposite. I almost never ride with the windows down. Partly for safety, partly for efficiency, but mostly for quiet. Had had the truck 3-4 months when I was cruising down the interstate and notice some dust buildup on the dash. Decided to see how well I could blow her out so I opened all 4 side windows, the moonroof, and rear slider. First thought...this truck does a fantastic job of insulating out ambient noise with all the glass closed. Second thought...this was a bad idea with clothes hanging up in the back...just about lost some shirts. Final thought...dust was gone.

Just picked it up last night. Biggest surprise is I LOVE the tow mirrors. Once I get used to them it will difficult adapting to cars without them. Came from the factory with a dusty dash. Will have to try the windows down cleaning approach.

Had we just carried on without opening that rear window, we would have never smelled it even with the front windows open. It's surprising how the tumbling air brings the smell up to the back of the truck. And opening that window just sucks in that air.
Since then, I open it often when towing.

I prefer to have the windows down and the A/C off. I believe I've used A/C once so far this summer for about 15 minutes. I do have the rear slider, but that will be replaced with a solid back window when/if the window breaks. I didn't think about the towing aspect of it.
