I knew there would be people that say the opposite. No doubt some people will use and enjoy stuff in a different way from me. But... I still RARELY see them open on ANY truck. Doesn't mean I don't see them used; just not much.

There's a "cost savings" right there. Get rid of the slider . . . somehow...
I'm in the middle of a decision to "upgrade" from 2020 Ranger Lariat to 2026 (or '27 if it needs to go that way). But some of the delays, limited availability, and now this site discussing the end-of-life for certain things like the V6 engine I was considering. Makes me want to stop and see...
