    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my SUV" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your leather interior, please post in the Interior section - and so on...

Has anyone researched the possibility of retrofitting a power tailgate to the S model? That’s the only feature I truly miss.
 
I found this product on another thread. I am considering getting it for my S. From what I've seen it unfortunately doesn't integrate with the key fob.
Pricey, but I couldn't justify going up in trim for the other features I didn't deem important for me. My husband is handy and will likely do the install himself although i fully expect it to take him a full day or two.

 
I drove a 2007 MDX that was missing this feature for 15 years. My daughters leases a KIA Sportage is missing it also. The Telluride and My Q5 come with it. Sure I would prefer it over not having it but it really isn't a big deal, at least not enough to spend that money. I know everyone has there price point, but you are spending a large percentage of what it would of taken to move up to a model that this feature comes standard.
