Yes, indeed, rear defrosters are mandatory in New York State for passenger cars, per state law. Pickups are not passenger cars, which is why they don't have them. Jim Crider

Lots of debate on this, but it appears there's a bit of confusion. So, let's sum up, shall we? First, let's clearly separate a "rev limiter" from a "shift light" or "tachometer": Rev limiter: A devic
