@@PsychicMedium4747 The Trail Boss trim doesn't have cheap materials for what the truck is intended for. However, expectations can become elevated to a point beyond reasonability and people become spoiled or fail to understand the point. Dandy features can stay in the higher trims where people buy trucks to say they own a truck but never actually do truck stuff. The real issues are related to what should objectively be considered standard like LED lights.

"Looks cheap" and "disappointed that it's hard touch plastic"... I'm sorry, I thought I bought a truck. If you want heated seats, heated/telescoping steering wheel, "leather" seats/dash and high quality stitching, or other higher end items that have the potential to get ruined doing truck stuff, buy a car and stay on city streets or pay for a higher trim "dandy truck". The only things that are missing for what you pay for with the Trail Boss are LED lights, fog lights, a hard bed liner, and physical light switches as standard (in the event that the electronics fail). But those are nit picking items based on price of the vehicle and the expected features that should be considered standard given the current year for what the vehicle is intended for. I'd be pissed at myself if I ruined my seats and steering wheel jumping in and out of the truck after working all day. In the end, the Trail Boss is perfectly fine the way it is for what it is supposed to be (a truck) without the unnecessary bloat features that only add to the price, not true functionality.

NO ONE CARES ABOUT HARD PLASTIC DASH. In fact, on a truck it would be seen as a positive. Not once in my life have I jumped into a car and started tapping the dash to see if the plastic is soft. Sure, the elbow rests should be soft, but that's because you actually come into contact with it. And I totally agree that the interior needs more color. Offer the fabric seats in blue or red or brown. Doesn't need to be leather (fake or otherwise), just some splash of color to break up the sea of black.
