2017 Rear Glass Change. Could this be power rear window?

Taken from Jeff Lange



It it is, I would assume it will be part of the premium and tech package

 

Nothing?

 

Not really!

 

If so, I more inclined to think it will be only on the Limited.

 

I hope it's a vertical sliding glass like the Tundra and 4runner.

 

power rear sliding window is one of the things I miss the most from my last truck

 

Tundra/WhoreRunner style would be awesome! But I don't think they have the room, from what I understand, they only offer that window on crew cab Tundra and not reg or double for space reasons. Power sliding the existing style, meh.

 

you mean a power slider like going side to side? That is not what, at all, what I thought!!

 

The few times I've opted to use the rear sliding window I ended up being blasted with a vortex of leaves, twigs, sand and whatever else has collected in the back of my truck. Of course I use my sunroof here in AZ just about as often..... another gimmick I could live without here in the desert.

 

lol You sound like you could use the power window... For after you start driving with the back window open, start getting pelted with shit and realize you need it closed asap.

 

I should've learned after the first time.

 

I don't think I have ever even driven with my rear window open so I couldn't care less

 

Same. Only time I open it is when I'm hauling 10' pieces of trim from Home Depot THEN it's handy to have!

 

I drove my Tundra (CMax) with all windows down very often throughout spring/summer/fall any chance I got. It had great airflow and din't buffet at all with the rear window down. I'd also open just the rear going down the highway for added airflow as it drug air in from the back to the front. Very nice.

The small Tacoma rear window on the other hand causes a lot of turbulence if it's the only thing open. But I still drive with it open quite often on good days along with the side windows. The problem is when I get to my road (dirt) I have to stop and shut it before I can go down it. I used to just hit the slider and continue on my way. So I'd love a power window. Better yet would be a full slider, but that's probably not going to happen.

 

Any updates?

 

i wish the rear windows on my AC could vent open... the two rangers and the one dakota i had in the past did

 

I've had three trucks with back windows that opened and out of all three I've opened them a total of 5 times and that is pushing it.

 

Hope it'll fit a second gen so ce they are basically same cabs.

 

No updates until we see 17s or until we get specs and features of the different models

 

Jkilpatrick357 posted a spec sheet on his TRD Pro Order thread. The spec sheet showed the option "Slide+Pwr+Privacy Rear". When asked about it, he confirmed it is a power rear sliding window. On the spec sheets, it showed that it was available on the TRD Sport and Pro models but I would think it would also be available for the TRD OR also. The picture below is one of the spec sheets he posted. The upper portion (non-highlighted) of options are for the TRD Sport. Being that Jeff originally suspected the rear window may change due to part differences, this could be more proof that the 2017 Tacomas will have a power sliding rear window.
