So my truck is 4 weeks ordered, and somewhere in the queue. Since I can't play with it yet, I am spending WAY too much time on this (and lesser) forums.
Reading about the key fob craziness, it occurred to me, I have no idea how the various doors and tailgate lock and unlock. No power locks on my truck, but there is no useable key? How does that work? it it a buttonless fob? I tried to find a similarly equipped truck to check out before ordering, but there were no base models at any dealer around here.
Forgive the ignorance; this is my first vehicle with a key fob (but my wife's Volvo has a great feature: You can push the "stop" button, remove the "key" from the dashboard, exit the vehicle, close and lock the door. THEN discover the the engine is still running, and transmission in gear! ; ) One more reason to hate automatic transmissions.
Now I am getting nervous about the entertainment system - I didn't see a two-knob/5 preset radio in the option list. Nor an 8-track...
