Im told that it makes a difference when you've got a baby in one hand and trying to load stuff in another hand. Tryina convince a buddy of mine to pick up a 4runner, and says he loves em' but a lack of a power lift gate for a 40k suv doesn't work for him.

Honestly, with how slow they open/close, how annoying they are in general, and how expensive as **** it is to fix when it breaks...
Tell your buddy to either drop the baby or put shit down and open the door like a man. His choice which he wants to drop first, I won't judge.
Joking aside, he would still have to reach for his keys or hit the button on the door, at which point he should have enough freedom to actually open the hatch by hand. I replace a lot of hatch struts and ECUs under recall/warranty for Rav4 & Highlander. The parts are NOT cheap (like easily close to a grand per shock), I wonder how long they'll last out of warranty.
This among other newer feature just makes me lose faith in humanity with each passing day... :/
