I'll take it modern. Thanks.

Hopefully you don't do much driving in the dark, the backlight on our new work truck's console display glows so brightly even with the display "off" that it ruins your night vision.

Modern would be fine if even half a moment of thought went into non-typical situations, but it's always some stupid oversight like this. Or the 5000k LED dome lights with a visible PWM frequency. Literally painful.

I prefer to drive with old incandescent dash lights dimmed to nearly nothing, yes I live in a very dark area with no lighting and many road hazards. On a moonless night, the area lit by the headlights is literally all you can see. We run extra lightbars, turning lights etc.

More light outside the truck, not inside. That's my rant

I do drive in the dark. My carv switches to dark mode and dims the display. I've never noticed it being too bright.
