I thought I heard him say it uses the 12V starter every time initially too. However, that has not been my experience at all. In fact I don't think I can recall the starter motor kicking in more than single digit times in the 70k plus I have driven my truck.. Most of the time I am backing out...

This is a great video that is very simple to understand.. Good teachers make things easy to understand! I do have a question for you all.. The professor mentioned the 3 different ways the PB engine can be started - the 12v starter, the belt integrated starter / generator and the high voltage...

I have the updated BC 1.4 and I use it every day in heavy traffic and with heavy construction on our highways. The upgraded BC works far better than the old version and better mimics human drivers in terms of accelerating and braking. When I turn on my blinkers, it appears to keep a safe...

I have received a similar offer that I signed up for..

I had a front end collision on a 2022 PB and the body shop did really good work.. All the sensors worked just like before after the repair work and blue cruise works great as well as everything else.. So a good body shop should be able to put your truck back together..

I use all the features except for auto hold.. I wouldn't be able to park in my garage either with it on.. But the rest, they work really well most of the time.. So it's worth it..

I wear an auto winding mechanical watch.. It has one job.. Tells me time! I am afraid I will have to keep pulling out my phone for all the cool things you all get on your smartwatches... ???

I am guessing it's one of the routine updates with no particular significance?

I received this update yesterday as well.. 2022 Lariat again.. I don't have the 10.1.1 update yet though..

Here is a Consumers Report article that quotes testing by an independent lab.. The comments here are right about all gasoline coming from the same refineries. The difference is in the additives. The summary of the article is that according to the independent lab test results, while all gasoline...

Having lived in Austin for almost 25 years, this quote comes to mind.. Democracy is the worst form of government except for all the others.. I kind of think it applies to Austin also! ?

Let us know if they are working!

I ordered my truck with the tray style mats and have had them for 2 1/2 years. They seem to cover all the areas that could get dirt. The material seems to be of good quality and there has been no curling.. They lay flat like on day one.. I am happy with them...

You make really good points on the benefits of owning a classic truck.. No questions there at all.. However, automobiles have come a long way in terms of safety in the recent years. It's not just the air bags in the steering wheel. Now most trucks have knee and side air bags. Beyond the...
