Consumer Description

I OWN TWO OF THESE TRUCKS. THEY BOTH HAVE THE SAME DESIGN FLAW. THE DEFROSTER VENTS DO NOT PLACE HEAT RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE DRIVER. IF YOU ARE IN WINTER CONDITION THERE IS A VEE OF UN-DEFROSTED AREA RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE DRIVER AND IF YOU DRIVE IN WINTRY FREEZING RAIN, ICE WILL BUILD UP RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE DRIVER EVEN WITH THE DEFROSTERS FULLY ENGAGED.
