I just got it for the first time on 10/15 and then again on 10/18. Both times restarting the truck fixed it. When I got the message both times my headlights were both pointed straight at the ground. I noticed the headlights doing their side to side dance a couple times when I stopped (that is...

Funny you ask, Big 4 audit

The oil life monitor considers time too. 8,000 miles a year means it’ll count down to 0 before your mileage would ever hit what the 150 gets changed at.

Possible that the grill shutters remain shut longer in eco mode. It also prefers higher gears which will work the turbo harder. Hotter is more efficient but rides closer to the line if you decide to push it hard suddenly. Logic could be that you wouldn’t in eco mode. All speculation though -...

No I saw a video from the owner on tik tok. He said it’s a 5.0 STX

Yes. I wouldn’t worry about wear but it would definitely affect your efficiency. The electric motor will be spinning the torque converter against the parking brake the whole time you’re sitting, draining the battery. On auto hold, the electric motor would turn off, not wasting energy in the...

My only thing with this vs auto hold is the parking brake doesn’t apply your brake lights. Auto hold does

I also like auto stop/start, quite a bit actually. I’ve only found the combo to be lurchy in the mornings when the engine is cold (below 165 degrees coolant temp) for some reason. It tries to ram me into cars in front of my using my usual gas tap, or the truck even realizes something is wrong...

I turned it on when I bought the truck and haven’t once turned it off. I hated my last car where I had to click it on every time I drove it so I was glad to see this truck leaves it where you selected it

I’m not entirely sure what’s going on. But if you put it in M1 in the exact same scenario - that exact point where the clunk is felt will be where your speed is held. It’s like the trans is in some kind of pseudo neutral state after 3mph to let you roll and if you lock it in M1, it won’t do...

I have borla s type on mine. It’s definitely noticeable but it’s not nearly as bad as it’s made out to be if you’re not sensitive. Just sounds like Subaru (boxer) in 4 cylinder mode to me lol. Kinda fun

1. Yes 2. no, it’s a high voltage generator and would be used to charge the HV battery pack or spin up the engine. The 12V battery is charged from the high voltage battery via a step down converter that brings the voltage from ~280 down to 12V 3. yes, but this is the only way the 12V charges

I understood the top beams don’t do much in the US (stock) but are utilized when glare-free lighting is in use.

Could be worse LOL but yeah, I would bet good money running auto climate in manual would be a lot to deal with. I just hit auto and the max fan speed I desire (low, medium, high) and adjust the temp til I’m comfortable. In the summer I usually start at 67 and work up to about 69-70…I’m always...

I think it’s related to the torque converter in some way. Not a problem but programming. I noted if you’re in manual 1, it wont “release” but if you click it back to drive you’ll feel the clunk on command (when going downhill)
