Power-Sliding Rear Window
When I ask dumb questions, keep in mind I've never owned a truck before. Is the Power-Sliding Rear Window an option I want? I am more an A/C man on the highway, but when you get into a hot car it is good to get the hot air out as quickly as possible.

agree 100%. Sunroof takes away 2-3 inches of headroom and my head was always rubbing. I never used it anyway. Plus there is a big hole in the roof

With the shade open? How tall are you? I’m 6’3 and have never once rubbed the roof and I wear ball caps daily.

But sometimes you don't want the sun on your head, like in stop and go traffic.

Back to the rear slider, definitely. Lets the hot air out of the cab, and there's no faster way to evacuate the contaminated air when your buddies drank too many beers and ate too many hot wings the night before! Plus my dogs really like it when I crack it open for them.

My shade stays open until July or August and remains closed until October or so. The shade open makes the truck feel way bigger and more open than closed for sure. Not sure what motion has to do with sunlight. It's the same sitting still or moving as far as how the sun penetrates the glass.

Three (3) of my previous four (4) pick-ups had sliding rear windows, which I RARELY used (except maybe to carry an occasional piece of long lumber). I don't have a sliding window on this truck and don't miss it. Just my $0.02!

If you are getting a crew cab, rolling the 4 windows down is all you need to get rid of heat buildup. I've had a power slider on two trucks and don't think they have ever been opened. I would not pay extra just to get the power slider but if it came bundled with another option, I wouldn't care. The frame of the slider does obstruct the view aft but that isn't really an issue.
