Foot binding was the Chinese custom of breaking and tightly binding the feet of young girls in order to change their shape and size. Feet altered by foot binding were known as lotus feet, and the shoes made for these feet were known as lotus shoes. In late imperial China, bound feet were considered a status symbol and a mark of beauty. However, foot binding was a painful practice that limited the mobility of women and resulted in lifelong disabilities.

The strip lights up but there's no indication of what gear you're in except for the location of the shifter. I was expecting a red bar or something.

I have to say the Stop/Start is pretty smooth, and I tried to get used to it. But my brain thinks the engine stalled. Also, the AC compressor stops, which is not ideal in Fla heat.
Bingo I thought the exact same thing! I am old enough that I do not trust an engine I cannot hear lol. First time I drove a car with the auto stop start thing and then engine shut off I was like oh #$%^ this car just broke down. I am used to it now but still kinda wish it was never invented.

The 2020 and newer strip no longer has a light. However, they not only light the door lock buttons, but include amber leds to let you know they're locked.

Garage door opener for 2022 is now only available in the Lariat 501A high package- used to be standard in Lariat.
