Wish T-tops would make a comeback

I have seen it. I think a taco has one, maybe a tundra... maybe. I don't remember, but I've seen one. Stopped and talked to the guy because I was so surprised. Fully retractable full size rear window.A full powered back window would be cool. There has to be a reason why I have never seen it offered on a truck. Yes, sunroofs take up valuable headroom space for the vertically challenged.

NGL thatās pretty sweet. Not sure if thereās enough room behind the seat though lol. Maybe theyāll put it in during the redesign.Yes it was offered on the Tundra.
In Florida it's a RainRoof since you get the afternoon thunderstorms seemingly every day. ?The Last thing we need in Florida is a Sun Roofā¦Plus, sooner or later they all Leak !
Many years ago I was looking at a used '70's car of some sort, probably considered a classic now, and I asked about the sunroof. The owner said it "just needs a new handle, I think I lost it". Then I noticed that from the top the entire gap between the sunroof and car roof had been very subtlety and carefully filled in with silicone sealant. It was never meant to open again.Iād love see see a sunroof a stand-alone option on the next gen Ranger!!!
I live in NC and have a sunroof on my ā02 F-150 SuperCrew which I used the majority of the year until two years ago when the plastic track gave up the ghost. I got it to close and havenāt used it since. Thankfully to this day it has never leaked once. With a mile and a half work commute, I prefer using the sunroof and windows to cool off over the A/C, since Iām already home before even the best A/C would cool me down.
It would definitely be an option Iād miss! But I 100% agree with othersā¦. A stand-alone option only (not part of a package)
What? You mean you don't like the fast food drive-up hamburger pass-through installed in the back window of some current Rangers? It's like a super sports car toll window...in the back of the cab. I truly do not understand it. That weird little thing made me miss the full sliding window on my '98 Ranger that could hold a half dozen 2x4's in place.A full powered back window would be cool. There has to be a reason why I have never seen it offered on a truck. Yes, sunroofs take up valuable headroom space for the vertically challenged.
So do the Explorers. Ford has had to buy two back over the past year. Then, I get one with the roof rail delete option. That one develops a leak on the right front where the guide pin hole is over the A pillar. Glove box would flood. Worse, it caused the exposed wiring ends to corrode. I am done with Fords sunroofs.Ford doesn't make them right, the f-150 sunroofs have a horrible track record with leaks. And I believe it takes away from head room space but I'm not 100% about that.
Nailed it !If anybody is listening PLEASE don't make it a part of any trim level. Standalone option please!
Out of the many sunroofed cars (they're actually moonroofs now) I've had the last 3 were because they came with my desired trim level.
Added complexity, weight where you don't want it, loss of headroom, there's literally nothing to gain from them.
I sooner have the cooled seats. With the fans on high, one good fart will kill any bugs in the cabin.A sunroof would be nice, but I'd be just as happy if they had cooling seats!
