I recently discovered that my truck had the ability for heated (defrost) mirrors, which isn't a truely, "hidden," fuction, but it still might be less noticable than others. Here's where the button is (2004 Lariat, taken from Google);



Oh, also another thing that may be somewhat relevant to this topic (if you have a 2004-08 with the shifter on the floor) is that the letters/numbers (P/R/N/D/2/1) to the left of the floor shifter are actually supposed to light up (when headlights are on, and/or when the door is open, I forget which one). Some people find this to be a surprise, and it's mainly due to a bad bulb (easy fix) Example;

Glad you figured out the mirrors! Great feature in the winter when things are frozen over.

The power folding mirrors and heated mirrors is an option I didn't know I had until I cam across this post. Very cool. I guess I should of read the manual, lol.
