Lack of keyless entry sensors on rear doors still annoying AF 6 months into ownership.

My wife's Audi has keyless entry on the rear doors. It's definitely convenient since we have two crumbsnatchers. I wish we had it on the truck as well.

If you are willing to do some wiring and buy new door handles I am pretty sure you can add it to the rear doors. @Jimmy07 would this be possible if you just piggybacked off the front doors?

Yup, you would do exactly that, and that’s what I did on my 2017. I can’t find the terminals for the rear door connector on the DTs, so you’d have to run the wires through the door connector/boot, instead of terminating the wires on both sides of the main door connector.

Mine only unlocks the front DS door when I do this. I'm guessing it's a menu option to unlock all doors when you touch the front handle?

It is in the menu. I had to change it because of the nasty looks from the other side of the truck.

Sorry, I forgot there was a setting for that.

I lived through that exact experience.

You know what, you guys can talk rear keyless entry all ya want, but what really pisses me off is our 2020 HD Big Horn doesn’t even have FRONT door keyless entry. It’s a Level 2 as well; to my knowledge, no Big Horn has it.

Not unless you add it yourself.

Yeah I’m not doing that. My Limited has it anyways.

Also bugs me they didn't put a lock button next to the tailgate open switch. My 2015 Durango has one and it's pretty convenient.

I could get behind this.

Doesn't it lock automatically when you close it.

Doesn't it lock automatically when you close it.

The tailgate does lock after closing it if you already have the rest of the doors locked. However if the truck is unlocked, you cannot lock the tailgate (or the rest of the truck) from the tailgate.

What he is talking about is being able to unlock & lock from the tailgate with a separate lock button. Our Toyota C-HR for example, on the rear hatch door, you have a lock and unlock which also effects the passenger doors.

Push button start is still a gimmick to me. I’d much rather have a physical ignition key

If you grew up in a time when most people only had a radio (no TV), hardware stores were all independently owned, there was a person that actually delivered milk to your house, and had an 'ice box' instead of a refrigerator, you can get use to anything.

Agree they cheaped out on this one.
I don't think I'm unique in that I put stuff in the back seat BEFORE I open the driver door. We ALL do this.

I don't call $65000 for a truck. If they put all the cr@p in truck that anyone might want I doubt if anyone but the uber rich could afford one. Then we would all be bitchin about how expensive it is fir a r=truck.

You know it.
Sh!t is what it is. Deal with it. If I can't change it, it isn't worth my time.

Why don't you just reach over and touch the front door handle instead of setting everything down to pull out your fob?

Thats what I'm wondering. Barely even need to take a step to make that happen.

There is a joke in there but it's not politically correct any longer
