See they won't have a engine oil dipstick
I'm not short and have to use a step stool to reach the one on my 2018 truck
Still doesn't seem like a good idea to me to eliminate it

for 90% of the population that never check the oil level and dont know what a dip stick is anyway... having the little idiot light that says " add oil" or "change oil" is probably a good idea..

Personally i prefer the dip stick to really tell you what you got.... Elimination of the trans dip stick was the "test" ... apparently that worked... i dont like that either.... the problem is when you CHANGE oil, exactly how much do you put back in ? Crawling under the truck and pulling a plug on a HOT RUNNING trans is not my idea of a good time.

Like them all, but love the "B"s.

Good point Steve! Salesman at the dealership told me " I bet you're one of those guys that checks his oil" Guess not many do like you said.
