Ok, I must be missing something, what purpose does a heated tailgate have?
Only 2 defining forces sacrificed themselves for you:
The American Soldier and Jesus Christ. One died for your freedom, the other for your soul.

My rock,
He trains my hands for war and my fingers for battle.

It allows you to keep your hands warm when you have to push your Ford home. 😂

They use to have a beer holder spot in the tailgate, a heater would heat up your beer

thanks everyone!

And now the story. Crowinghen and I pull into the dealership to look at the truck we saw on-line. The salesman ask if we want to take it for drive, well of course we do. We pull out of the lot and at the first stop light the truck dies, great, a lemon, wife asks "are we out of gas?", no, we're good there. I restart the truck and we're off, the next light the truck dies again. At this point I just want to get this POS back to the lot. I baby it back, putting it nuetral at every light so it won't die. As we make our way back we decide our 96 Cherokee was just fine and we did not need a truck. Pulling into the lot the salesman comes out all smiles and asks how did it go? I reply, "you better take this POS back to the service department because it dies at every light". After a second he says,"I forgot to tell you, it's suppose to do that". Crowinghen and I think he is just screwing with us,  just trying to make a sale. I ask him WhyTH would I want a truck that shuts down whenever I stop. He explains the feature and what it's for, of course I'm skeptical, but he did say I could shut it off if I wanted to. I then ask him, " can't I just buy a normal truck without all these gadgets on it"? He inform me that this is a "normal truck" and compared to most it didn't have that many gadgets. We did go back out for a less stress full drive, this time he went with us to make sure us rednecks didn't have anymore issues.

He should have said it is the new Anti-theft feature  :chuckle:

I picked up a rental car in Oklahoma City and drove 200 miles east to a stone quarry for a meeting the next morning. Didn't stop until I hit a random intersection in the middle of nowhere Oklahoma, and the car died. WTF. Started it up and made it to the next town. Did the same thing to me. I randomly pushed the gas as I was sitting there steaming and it fired up and took off. I realized what was happening at that point but it made for a few tense moments! Dang rental car company didn't say a word about it.
I hunt, therefore I am.... I fish, therefore I lie.

I'm a Toyota guy, but since you're already thinking Ford, I won't even try.  Good luck!
Toyota here too. 2003 Tacoma now at 441K miles with original engine and tranny.  Starting to think myself what to do for a new truck when it’s time.

So on these vehicles that shut off and restart at stop lights....do you have to replace the starter and battery every other month?

I could just see myself flipping out about the damn car dying at the intersection, not knowing that is was supposed to do that. I hear the engines that shut down extra cylinders are starting to burn up those cylinders and oil pressure is getting wacky because they pressurize the crankcase and it's wreacking havoc on the cylinders pushing oil into them. Don't know enough about how they work, just passing it along
