Lots of useful information in that review. I like the fold flat shifter and center console, I also thought that the ability to use the trunk as an ice cooler was ingenious. Another thing that caught my eye was when folded down the tailgate, I noticed the top of it pulled up which to me looks like added support for longer loads, such as 10' sheetrock or lumber. There was also a built-in ruler along the top edge of the tailgate.

That is actually the tailgate stair - a built-in extension would be nice, but not what that is, lol

I use the hell out of my tailgate step. Of course having my truck lifted 4" and 35" tires it's more of a necessity than anything. Even before I lifted the truck my old knees thanked me every time I used it.

The newer trucks are way taller than the 85 I learned to drive in.
