I voted for being able to disable it, as I can see situations where one might want it. That said, for myself and most others here it’s bad enough that I suggest a TSB with a computer flash to disable it on existing vehicles. I know on the Gladiator forums there have been several members that actually sold their Jeeps because of the honking, and we may have had someone here that sold their Ram because of it.
As someone who tows his RV frequently and regularly arrives at campgrounds at night it’s a very problematic feature. I leave the keys in my pocket so I never accidentally forget them, but when I pull up to a campsite I’m in and out of the truck several times while getting my trailer set up and disconnected. The honking is exceptionally rude to the other campers.
These trucks are not quiet. No one is ever going to get out and walk away thinking they shut it off.
