1. Problem with this not everyone has unlimited data on their current phone plan and its expensive to upgrade to it.
2. Built in truck wifi gets a better signal
3. Adding an additinal line or mifi you can not turn on/off month to month for those who have kids and just want unlimited access 1 or 2 months a year when they take an extended trip.
There is a need for it, using your current phone is not the best solution for everyone.

Agree with above post about not everybody having unlimited WiFi. I don't, we live in an area with terrible internet service, and if I had some free with my truck why not use it? I try not to give any more money to Verizon than I have to

What you guys are missing is that you'll have to pay for a whole separate plan for the trucks wi-fi hotspot.
It's LESS EXPENSIVE to just add the hotspot to your phone, and if you don't have a data plan, add that too... it will still be less than what my GM's vehicle hot spot plan was. And, I can't remember the exact figure, but it was way more than adding the hotspot to an already given phone plan.
So confusion abides. A vehicle with a hotspot is nothing more than a device that needs a plan to work!

The hotspot UNLIMITED plan for GM or ford is $20/month and you can turn it on/off month to month. All cell providers are going to be more than that for an additional line, and don't allow you to turn it on/off month to month... And if you go unlimited it even more for cell companies...
For $20 flat/unlimited, it seems like a pretty good deal even if it is AT&T (still?).
Thanks!
