Thank you. People complain about everything on here! ??Our 2013 pilot doesn’t have it. I think it’s badass. I don’t get the complaining, If you didn’t like the size of the Sport you should have bought the Big Bronco or a overpriced fat lip 4Runner.
No they don’t it’s constructive criticism!Thank you. People complain about everything on here! ??
Just open it and enjoy .You said nobody was complaining. They were. As shown.
You said mild criticism.
The poster said it was almost useless. And I quote “ the wiper/lock housing takes up too much space for the access to be useful “ That’s not mild.
So yes my suggestion was that if somebody found it to be that useless maybe they should’ve considered a different vehicle, but maybe that feature wasn’t that important to him and he was just saying even though he loves the car the lift glass is useless either way I took it as complaining and, commented as such I’m not upset at all.
Agreed. The big Bronco my family had growing up had the back window that rolled down. My mom had it down one day and shut the back and it broke the glass. I would still like to have that feature, though.I really like it but would prefer it was bigger. It is a bit too small. Even better would be a drop in window like the 4-runner has. That is more costly and complex so I get why Ford didn’t do it. But when driving, it is great having the window dropped (so I am told).
Definately not as attractive. It might look ok if only the top of the glass was extended up.Make the back glass wider and the side would go from this:
To this:
Then you've got an old Escape:
No need to compliment my awesome Photoshop skills. ?
How else are you going to carry 8 foot deck boards. It's one of the few good features on this car.No they don’t it’s constructive criticism!
Maybe not as attractive, but style shouldn't trump function when you're going to all the trouble and expense to add the feature. The old Escape didn't look that bad in the back.Definately not as attractive. It might look ok if only the top of the glass was extended up.
For me, the flip up glass is just kinda Meh. Of the various SUV/CUV's I've had, the only other one with non fixed rear glass was my 97 4Runner, which had a power window in the liftgate. I found that nice when I had the windows down, sunroof open because it allowed a LOT of airflow through the truck and the AC condenser had been ripped off by a previous owner when they ran it into a tree, so no AC.Every SUV I've owned in the past 20 years has had flip-up glass in the lift-gate, and I use that feature often. From easily loading grocery bags, transporting long lumber, to accessing rear cargo when a hitch mounted bike rack blocks the lift-gate, so much more convenient than lift-gate only.
The BS is the only remaining small SUV with this feature, although the Ford Expedition and a Lincoln model may still have it. Do you know of any other new models?
Although the glass opening is much smaller than on my Escape, I still want it. I think this is a strong point in favor of the BS compared to other SUV's.
Just curious what others think.
