Strangly missing features

[BillG]

I looked everywhere and could not find it. I did stumble across another thread that did confirm that's how it is designed for safety.

You can have the clock on the center screen. It’s somewhere in the screen setup. I have it in One of the corners.

Manual windows and door locks for me. If you’re too damn weak to roll your window up and down then maybe you should get rid of the Jeep and take an Uber everywhere.

Missing sensible features? Isn't that why they make a Honda Pilot, Ford Edge, etc? I get questioned by my non-Jeep friends, "why doesn't it have (fill in the blank)?" Especially when the rainwater is pouring out of the gutter onto the floorboards. Gotta love it though!

Wings, jet turbine, teleportation and stealth mode are what I think are missing. :P

Throw in VTOL and gatling gun and you have a deal

It's a Jeep, the top is not there to keep you dry, meerly to defer the moment you get soaked.
Also, it's a Jeep, everyone knows you get soaked the moment you buy it. :P

I'd rather have them fix all the uconnect issues first.

AC in the seats, just that. That is all.

That one really isn’t strange it all. Perforated leather doesn’t do well getting wet, and the JL is built for weather.

It’s more about comfort for me, not seat drying. My F-150 had it and it’s great in the summer.

Teleportation... superfluous... mechanisms...way too many syllables, guys...

A lot of the functions you mentioned are gutted in the States for various reasons (safety liability, cost control, less regulation). This happens a lot in many brands, for example, European Ford Focus have everything you mentioned (1-up and down, auto window up on lock) while US Ford Focus does not have any of that.

I found the Flux Capacitor hidden behind the glove box while changing out the cabin filter.

Only thing I would like to see is a front camera like our Raptor has. I use it quite a bit in everything from parking to manuevering in tigh spaces

My daughter's old '14 Mazda 3 had the auto lock feature. It was quite convenient when walking away from the car with arms loaded with goods and the car would lock itself with a beep to confirm. Nice.

I also love Ford's keypad lock. Had two old Explorers that had the keypads, just lock your keys in the car when surfing or running and use the pad to get back in afterwards. Do Fords still have this feature?

Rolling down all the windows by holding down a key on the remote would also be nice. I've had several cars (mainly German) that had this. I think for one of the BMWs I had to have it programmed. That car could also roll up the windows if it sensed rain.

We also had auto hold on our '09 VW CC. It was nice when sitting at long stoplights to take your feet off the pedal and relax.

None of these are necessities, but they do help make the ownership experience feel a little more special. And make the experience a little more costly if they broke (none ever did).

I'm glad the fob doesn't have an option to roll down the windows. My '09 Titan did exactly that and I would occasionally find the windows down because the button was being pushed while in my pocket. The time a guy at work asked me if I knew my windows were down in the middle of an Alabama summer gully washer was especially memorable.
