My pickup still has mechanical locks on the doors, no remote start. I have driven several vehilcs with front anti-lock brakes. I despise the feature with a purple passion. I have driven vehicles with 4 wheel anti-locks and that seems to be okay. My pickup has anti-locks brakes on the rear wheels only. I think that is the far superior setup. I have never driven a modern vehicle with the traction sensors that direct power to the wheel with the most traction. I'd would think that feature would be worth it's weight in gold. I did own one of the old Jeep Wagoneers with the quad-trac (I believe that's what they called it) system. It was superior to anything on the market at the time for applied traction on slick conditions. I sure do like the modern "flick a switch" 4WD engagement feature. Sure beats the heck out of having to get out and lock the hubs.................and if I remember correctly it was advised to stay under 50-55 mph with the hubs locked in, also. The biggest drawback is: at what cost? and repairability when the electronics become obsolete and are no longer supported.
