BACKGLASS DEFROST?
I've been internet shopping for a new F-350 dually and have come across an item on serveral window stickers listed as "BACKGLASS DEFROST" for $155. These window stickers were on vehicles manufactured within the last few weeks. I have questioned a few sales people about this feature and none could adequately explain it, but they say it does not delete the sliding rear window. Is anyone familiar with this feature?

Yep, I have it on mine. It's a defrost for the back window, works in conjunction with the rear view mirrors (when you hit the button, the mirrors/back glass defrost all kick in). When the snow piles up in the bed and I jump on the parkway, the wind blows it up onto the glass and freezes on there, press the button and with a minute or 2, it's all melted.
I haven't had any issues with it, rear slider works great too. The rear window obviously has to be closed in order for the defroster to work.

Since you're in Alaska, I'd imagine you'd benefit from this feature. This was a Job 2 addition to the SD line (Job 2 kicked over last Nov I believe).
If you're gettin' the diesel, rapid supplemental heat (diesel only) and heated/cooled seats (diesel/gas) are great additions as well.
