Yes we have it in the plane.

Come on, that might as well be in Kansas.
Nope we can fly into mountainous terrain and in windshear conditions without EGPWS
EGPWS
Modes 1-4:
1 - Excessive Descent Rate
2 - Excessive Closure Rate to
Terrain
3 - Altitude Loss after Takeoff
4 - Insufficient Terrain
Clearance
2 FLT DAYS
(O) May be inoperative provided repairs are
made within
two flight days:
PLACARD: Adjacent to the EICAS display.
(O)
1. Flight is not departing out of a U.S. mainland
airport to a Mexico destination.
2. If Mode 4A is affected, the Landing Gear
Aural Warning must be checked as follows:
a. Energize the aircraft.
b. Set the Thrust Levers at the IDLE position.
c. Pull the LDG GEAR (A6 and A28) circuit
breakers.
d. Check the voice message LANDING
GEAR.
e. Return the aircraft to its normal condition.
3. Maintain an increased awareness of flight
path and proximity to terrain.
4. On takeoff, call
“Sink Rate” if a negative
climb occurs before reaching 1,500 ft. AGL.
5. On approach, make normal deviation
callouts if any approach fails to meet the
“Stabilized Approach Criteria” as defined in
the AOM Volume 1 (Profiles Section).
EGPWS
Windshear Warning and
Flight Guidance System
(Windshear Mode)
May be inoperative provided:
PLACARD: Adjacent to the instrument panel
aircraft registration number identifier placard.
(O)
1. Search for clues which may indicate the
presence of windshear or identifiers for
microbursts as defined in AOM Volume 1
E/A Warnings - Windshear.
2. Review windshear / microburst recovery
procedures in AOM Volume 1
Emerg/Abnorm Warnings - Windshear.
3. On takeoff, call “
Sink Rate” if a negative
climb occurs before reaching 1,500 ft. AGL.
4. On approach, make normal deviation
callouts if any approach fails to meet the
“Stabilized Approach Criteria” as defined in
the AOM Volume 1 (Profiles Section).
And I'm not talking about DEN. I'm talking about DRO, GUC, HDN, GJT etc.

Not on ours:
Traffic Alert Collision
Avoidance System (TCAS
1 installed
0 required
(O)(M) May be inoperative provided:
PLACARD: RMU or MFD Bezel panel.
(O)
1. Flight is not departing out of a U.S. mainland
airport to a Mexico destination.
2. Ensure that enroute or approach procedures
do not require its use.
(M) May be flight crewmember accomplished:
Pull and collar the TCAS circuit breaker (D3).
