Love the Truck, but...

That steering wheel - I kind of hate it.

Aftermarket change?

not probably won’t be final product like that.

There is quite a few things about the truck that need to get regulatory approvals.

 

[HeatproofGenie]

Yeah for a truck that steering wheels seems like a bad idea.

Audi Etron wasn't able to be certified without side mirrors so I doubt this will, so I expect that to change.

Pure speculation but I say interior will see some changes before production. Steering wheel being one of those changes.

Personally, I’m hoping they offer a five seat option. Not a big fan of the front bench. Need the console.

The middle seat in the front folds down and provides a center console. Lots of full size pickups have this type of feature.

I had a rental ram truck a year or so back with this fold down center front seat. Less than ideal. Not horrible but my personal preference would be a dedicated, fixed console.

Things that will change before production:

steering wheel
side mirrors
headlights
tail lights

I wouldn't mind seeing the front center seat/console having two lids. An outer lid that doesn't have storage space (or maybe enough for a media screen) but can serve as a tray table for rear occupants when the seat is up, and an inner lid that covers the actual center console storage. Probably just wishful thinking.

Headlight will not change

Headlight will not change

In the US it absolutely will

Can anyone who was at the reveal comment on headlight performance? While I'm not ordering one, I do a ton of driving early morning and after sundown, so something akin to Model 3 headlight performance would be important to me.

Agree on the center console. After all how often to you see people ride in the center in a pickup without a crew cab. Almost never. People that need more than 2 people in their pickup go for the crew cab option.

The tail lights have issues due to be attached to the tail gate, and so they have a second set on the corners. CHMSL (3rd brake light) needs a second position with tailgate down. That could be done with a strip on the vault cover and a light behind the middle back seat headrest.
What is the conflict between FMVSS 108 and the headlights?

Also, would you say the requirement for side mirrors only applies when the vehicle is in reverse?

I’m really hoping they keep the bench. I LOVE a bench seat. Dogs, people, stuff. If you want the typical layout you flip down the console. What’s not to like about that?

I'm kinda diggin' that 40/20/40 front bench seat -- I've had several older pickups that had them

I can’t wait to see the first video of someone trying to plug into a supercharger with a 30ft camper on the back.

Lack of side bolsters and back support. I currently have bench seats in our current truck, I don't remember ever using the middle seat.
