Does your truck have Rear Window Defrosters?

I'm really surprised that my 2013 Bighorn came without rear window defrosters! I do have heated mirrors though Just curious if this is common...please hit the poll!

My 09 Bighorn does not have one, but I wish it did. I could be wrong, but I think if you have the power operated rear window, you can't have rear defrost. I could be wrong.. Just ask my wife!

That may be true but my 2010 F150 had power slider and rear defrost so I know it can be done!

Heated mirrors are essential! I am really glad I have those! Rear defrost would have been a nice addition however.

i have a rear defrost button, but don't have rear defrost. i believe my button only controls the mirror defrost.

My manual says I have defrost. The button is supposed to operate the heated mirrors and the rear defrost. I have the power slider window... The button for the rear defrost lights up. It has the same logo as the windshield defrost. Did someone lie to me? Do I really NOT have a rear defroster?

I've got a 2014 Outdoorsman Crew Cab on order and I paid for the option of a rear defroster. I sure hope I didn't lose the power sliding rear window as a result!

P.S. Hopefully I'll know for sure in a couple days when my truck comes in!

I was kinda bummed that mine didn't either. apparently you can't get them with the power rear window option?

living in MN I figured I was screwed with frost. but I got through the winter well, surprising me to no end, since my 06GMC frosted up the rear every stinking day in the winter.

I just looked at my sales sheet it says nothing about it. But I have used it.

So I went out to my truck and yes right below the front defrost button is a rear defrost button. and on the climate control screen in the 8.4 it has a rear defrost tab when selected the button lights up. I knew it had it Im surprised its not on the sales slip.

Keep in mind, It no longer has wires in the window. It is ducted.

Plus the button that used to look like a square with 3 wavy lines for mirror defrost is now the rear window defrost. the mirrors automatically defrost with the front window defrost selected. Man I hate change.:4-looney:

But with my Bighorn rear slider I have it for sure. your dealer is a smoke blower.:4-dontknow:

Mine has the wires:LOL: and it is the slider. Don't think they would change it on the Bighorn verus all the other trucks. Maybe yours is special.:doh:
