No, auto start/stop was not added and the missing features as listed on the window sticker are completely accurate. I dislike the auto start/stop feature on vehicles almost as much as anyone else, so I was completely fine with\u00a0not having it. That's crazy about your Defender, btw. Regarding this truck: Absolutely nothing is added or altered on the truck apart from these three things: \r\n\r\n1.) a spray-in bedliner \r\n2.) matching front window tints\r\n3.) a stubby antenna\r\n\r\nI did have a brand new Ford Accessories hard-folding tonneau cover installed which I removed before photographing & listing. I love it and I'm still\u00a0deciding whether I\u00a0want to part with it or hold\u00a0on to\u00a0it for down the road. It was installed the same day I had the spray-in bedliner done and by the same company.\u00a0\r\n\r\nMore regarding the spray-in bedliner and front window tints: BaT can only provide so much information in their write-ups, so I provided more in-depth details in my Youtube 'Exterior Features' video description including links to the respective businesses that installed them.

These guys were true professionals and removed all hardware from the truck bed before applying the liner. Most companies will carelessly spray right over them. They have a comfortable lounge in their showroom if you have to wait, completed by a killer photo on the wall from Isle of Man. Ask the owner about their racing history! Here is a link to their website, they're highly recommended and offer a number of services:\r\n\r\nhttps://www.platinumprotectivecoating...\r\n\r\nThe team at Tint King in Albany, NY meticulously matched the factory tint on the rear glass and did a professional job installing tints to the front driver and passenger windows. It truly completes the look of the truck. IMO the matching tints give the Raptor the right balance while maintaining a factory look. Here is a link to their website, we highly recommend them:\r\n\r\nhttps://www.tintkingny.com/\r\n\r\n*I deliberately put in a plug to each of these companies because they deserve it.
