I agree will all of this. The camera is just fine. It's not like you watching HD movies on this thing. You're backing up, short distances. It does its job just fine.
My only complaint with the infotainment system is lack of customization abilities. The "apps" section is useless. 3 apps, 2 of the 3 on mine don't even load because I don't have that option on my rig. WTF?? I can't even remember what they are, they are that useless. You can't set the display to just one window, you can't set the default screen on startup, etc. I'd also like to change the graphics like the '14-'19 versions can.

The resolution of the backup camera isn’t great, but putting a glass screen protector on it improves the experience quite a bit (did for me at least)
Any of the $20ish ones on Amazon will work.

Did the back up camera get any better? The 2022s seemed to have a much worse resolution on the camera.

Mine has the heated steering wheel, picking it up in the morning. No remote start

Agree with the position of the heat and works great!

I have a 2016 and would love heated steering wheel. It sounds silly, but that wheel is very cold and doen't seem to warm up in Minnesota winters. Sometimes I think it's filled water that freezes.

I'd much rather have a foot sensor operated powered liftgate. Would make unloading groceries you don't want to set on the ground easier. It has the powered lift gate window which is awesome but no powered liftgate. You can get them aftermarket but I believe those operate only via remote.

The powered liftgates have the foot sensor as an option
