2025 Equinox No Integrated Garage Door Opener
Nov 2, 2024 · We picked up a new 2025 Equinox a few days ago and we were shocked to find out it does not have an integrated garage door opener. This is the first car in 20 years that does not have the feature. We never even thought to ask about something so trivial until we were about to leave the dealership.
