My only hold up to buying preowned or getting a 2019 “classic” is the no push start. Can you add that? Sorry if that’s a dumb question. Thanks!

Not without a lot of work and money. It could be done but it’s not something practical.

Back in the 50s and 60s automatic transmissions had 2 pumps, a front driven by the engine and a rear driven by the drive shaft and those could be started by pushing the vehicle that would spin the shaft and the pump thus spinning the engine. Somewhere in time they omitted the rear pump as very few cars were actually using this feature and omitting it saved weight and expense. I don't of any automatics that have rear pumps and manuals are becoming rare. Jumper cables are standard in my vehicles.

I am almost absolutely certain my best friends ‘19 Classic Big Horn has the push start. An Express will most likely not have it, but an upper model will.

He was referring to push button for starting the engine. Not physically push starting a vehicle.

The Keyless Enter 'N Go system was not available on 2018 Big Horns, so I doubt it's available on 2019 Classic Big Horns. Not saying it isn't, just saying it's unlikely.

It was available as part of the Convenience package on the Sport and Laramie, optional on Rebel, and standard on Laramie Longhorn and Limited.

You Sir are correct. I wouldve lost money on that bet. I couldve swore he had it, but he just told me he does not. I stand corrected and withdraw my comment about the big horn.
Wonder if other models, like the Warlock edition have it then?

Pretty sure enter n go was never available on big horn. Definitely couldn't get it on my 17 either.

Ashame, really. Its only a $195 option, well worth it even after having to add it the hard way.

Its a nice feature, our ‘18 Terrain has it. Honestly, it never factored into my thinking as a prerequisite for my truck when buying though....I still cant believe in this day and age that we have that silly ass old school wire antenna sticking out of the fender like its 1993 or something....

I appreciate the height warning the wire provides!

I just checked my e-brochure for 2018. Enter 'N Go was also available with the Convenience Package on the Night trim level.

It struck me as funny and sometimes I just can't let it go. Forget a start button I need a stop button.
