Air ride seat

Some kind of ventilation in the cab that actually works

Seal the box so it doesent fill with dust when on rock roads

Fans. In the cab, and in the cargo area. Maybe a dual door, regular and mesh type that could lock but allow air flow? Keep in mind we're not all 5'8", maybe some leg room for people 6'3" or more.



Ps. Make them with less cargo area too, so we can do less work!

Don't know how I feel about this , because for one they never listen to drivers

And who are you to ask that question you better be the guy who is designing the new trucks or GTFO out with something that will never happen

Thanks for the responses, I represent Thor Trucks in Los Angeles. We build electric trucks from from the ground up, so all feedback will be factored into the design process.

All the Brown trucks were designed with UPS driver input and UPS uses top quality Aluminum bodies and standard truck chassis.

I think the Sprinter experience convinced UPS to go off-the-shelf very carefully.

Let's go retro, bring back lap belts.

Who needs electric when I can fill up at $.99 cents a gallon.

Parcel cannons would be a nice addition.

I'm sure somebody from IE will suggest a push button starter to shave a couple hours off that planned day.

Make sure the back door leaks like a screen door.

That's a good Kroger discount.
The most I ever get is $0.10 per gallon discount.

Please put the handholds for getting in and out of the truck on the side of the passenger door. Not some dumb curved bar on the passenger floor that I've gotta grab sideways below waist level in the way in and out.
