When I was towing, I put it in tow mode and it's cool that it will show the left/right camera view when you turn on your blinker to change lanes/turn. It's a tow-mode thing, I think, and not dependent on just if the trailer is attached? I could be remembering that wrong? And I think it also...

I knew I left that punchline dangling. :) I pulled out a bunch of stuff from the trailer that had accumulated over the years, weighing items as they came out. I think it was about 48# of gear from the front passthrough that I'm calling "unnecessary" especially when boondocking (extension cords...

A larger HV battery would be cool and all, but it would eat so much into the payload capacity that I think it becomes counter productive. I'd guesstime a 10KWh battery pack weights in around 200 lbs maybe? compared to however much the current smaller one is. It's not much maybe, but it's...

There were a couple times when I was googling for something or another related to my truck that I was researching, and the result was something here. I understand having server issues, as an admin of a site myself. What confused me was that even for some older posts, I went to archive.org and...

I recently got back from a nice 3300+ mile road trip on my new 2025 KR. It was my chance to really try out the BlueCruise feature on the interstates and highways (and surprisingly a few smaller roads). The lane change assist is pretty cool, although I had to retrain my brain to let the truck do...

Sorry if this is a dumb question (and honestly, the answer can probably be found by searching on here but maybe putting an answer in this thread is helpful): For a Powerboost engine, what's the max size you can put in? Is it an H7 or can you put an H8 size in there? This would be for a 2025...

That type of bit is probably less common than the security Torx (I have some but just because I bought a HUGE set of security bits a long while back, and it included a lot including that type). Interesting...

I've noticed that when I hit the voice button. I'm in a hot area (temps over 100, even 110) and I've had the AC on max and it's pretty loud. Listening to the radio too. When I hit the voice button to enter a destination for example, the audio mutes and the fan speed goes down. Which is good...

My 2025 KR in Antimatter Blue was delivered at the end of June. I didn't notice anything obvious, so I just went out and looked under/over/around a little closer to see if I had any of the trouble spots noted above, but fortunately I still didn't see anything. If there are blemishes on there...

This is an interesting thread. Honestly, when I saw that the F150 I was buying had the dealer installed keypad, I wasn't totally on board with it, but it was part of the order, so oh well. But then it showed up and I looked at it, and you know what? It's fine. :) I'm coming at this from never...

Here's a couple photos of how the bedliner turned out from that FMJ place in Tacoma. It should give an idea of what doing the tailgate looks like from a shop that takes the time to do it.

It depends... and that's a good question. How loud is too loud? :) It's a National Forest site and there's a mix of RV and tent campers, and it's those tent campers that I try to be aware of (especially since my inlaws are part of that group) :) My Honda EU2000i is "quiet" but also not quiet...

I just got my 2025 bed sprayed yesterday, with the pro access tailgate. It's a local place in Tacoma, WA (Full Metal Jacket) and I asked about spraying the PAT and she assured me they do it. And yes, they did, and yes, it looks great. :) There's not a lot of exposed metal there, but they took...

I wonder if you couldn't "bump" the door closed the extra little bit that maybe it needs? It reminds me of the ignition lock on my Tundra... If I'd backed into a space and the steering wheel wasn't dead center, sometimes the steering wheel would have a little pressure one way or another and...

Yeah, when I got down and really looked closer at it, it does seem like it's "by design" to be floppy in that lower corner. However, it just looks wrong. :) That and the fact that the front right one had the corner kind of folded in funny made me wonder. Maybe the dealer did something on that...
