I think that's the normal view - mine is the same. It's a wide angle camera and that's pretty much how they work. Everything in a wide angle is scrunched up to get as much into the view as possible and that makes close up objects look farther away. Many passenger side mirrors work the same way and you will see an embossed message stating that "Objects in the mirror are closer than they appear."

I have not had a problem towing with a travel trailer. I find the plug is a little hard to pull out when disconnecting but I'm careful to pull on the plug's built-in pull and not on the wire.

There are TPMS systems for trailers from the aftermarket but they don't integrate into the truck's systems. The aftermarket units require a standalone screen to monitor tire pressures. Reviews I've seen are favorable but the extra display unit is the drawback. Where to put it is the question?

Standard equipment on my Ford Raptor. I've rotated them once, they have 10k on them and look like new. I like them. I see tire tests occasionally on the web and they always rate well as an all around good tire. Maybe not the best for specific needs like rock crawling or mud running but overall a very good tire. They do well on snow and wet roads which is what I need in the midwest.

Generally, if you're legal in your home state you're legal anywhere in the nation. There are some exceptions mostly related to maximum payloads on commercial trucks. I don't think I'd worry about a truck with clearance lights ever being mistaken for a public safety vehicle.

I appears that the OP is correct - CA does not allow them. Trucks built for the CA market have the clearance lights deleted. I think the easiest way to switch the lights would be to loosen the headliner, cut the hot wires to the lights just under the roof and install a switch between the severed ends. The switch wire could be long enough to locate the switch in a convenient location on the dash. It's relatively simple to lower one side of the headliner and reach in to the center of the roof.

I haven't found a good way, so I use a short funnel to add the oil and pour slowly. I normally buy oil in 2.5 gallon jugs and then pour the oil into one gallon jugs before adding the oil. The 2.5 gallon jugs don't work - they're too large. I thought about removing the oil fill neck from the engine, similar to how the pre 20 models were made, but that isn't much of an improvement if any - takes a much longer funnel then.

It's a safety feature to prevent the tire from falling into the road and being struck by another motorists. I think all of the truck makes have them.

Interesting kit. Why would I want this? These lights couldn't add much light to the light of the headlights driving.

Fortunately, It looks like an easy repair and the rig didn't catch fire. I think you'll need a heat shield on that portion of the trailer to keep from having problems in the future. My Airstream has stainless rock guards on the front of the trailer that most likely do the trick for me. It shouldn't be too hard to rig a couple of standoffs and attach a piece of stainless steel to them to fix the problem. The heat shield wouldn't need to be as big as shown in the photo below but it gives a good idea of what's needed.

6.6L V8 plaque. It's nice!

Good info. It makes sense that more than one GM vehicle would use the same sensors. Too late for me though, I already made the purchase for my trailer. I hope they work out for others.

No, nothing like ForScan for newer GM trucks. The PCM is encrypted and cannot be programmed. I have a Ford F-150 Raptor and I've looked at ForScan but I haven't make any mods, mostly beause I haven't had a need. That said, even with Ford, you are taking a chance at voiding the warranty with you make changes to the system. ForScan is not a Ford app and it's not approved by Ford Motor Company.

With so many car warranty scams out there, how do you know which companies are legitimate and will pay when coverage is needed?

The camera system is complicated and has many views if the truck is equipped with the complete camera system. It takes some reading and practice to become familiar with all of the feathers. The excerpt below is out of the 2020 Owner's Manual: If equipped, the front view camera also displays when the Park Assist system detects an object within 30 cm (12 in). If you choose the Camera Option on the Infotainment System and then choose the backup view, the camera view will shift to the front camera view when you put the truck in any forward gear and then shift back to the rear view when shifted into reverse. That's handy when lining up to the trailer to get hitched up. Again, there is a lot to learn about these camera views.

It sounds like the block heater cord that plugs into the receptacle just in front of the left front tire. Can you post a picture of the cord you have

USA Today printed the following: "On the Ram 1500 truck, active grille shutters improve fuel economy by an estimated 0.5 percent. For the average driver, that saves only 3.6 gallons of gas a year. But when it comes to CAFE standards, every bit helps — especially when improvements are relatively simple to implement". Using that 0.5% number shutters would save 0.075 mpg if you average 15 mpg in normal driving.

Mine is held on the rear glass window with 3M tape. I'm pretty sure it won't fall off and removing it would be a chore if I ever decided to do sol

I believe that trucks with HUD use a special windshield. The glass has a coating on it just for the HUD and is considerably more expensive than standard glass. You most likely have the wrong windshield for your truck. I'd check with the dealer to confirm that.

I have a loaded 2019 Ford Raptor and I like the truck. The interior is nice and the seats are great. That said, I'd rather drive the 2020 LTZ than the Raptor because it's just more! The interior gets a lot of negative reviews but I like it - everything is within reach. Knobs and switches are easier to use when you're bouncing down the road in a heavy duty pickup than trying to touch an icon on a display screen. I'm 6 ft and I can see the gauges fine - you may need to adjust your seat. I can also reach up and pull the hood down with the latch wire to close it. I also have the heads-up display and that's one thing the Raptor does not have. The heads-up display is customizable and is a super feature on any vehicle. I find the view on the Chevy's camera display better than the Ford's and offers more views. Tailgates on both trucks have no handle so they are a wash there, but yanking on frozen doors and gates can lead to damage anyway. I try to keep rubber parts lubed with silicon to prevent parts freezing in the winter. Don't know about the LT but the LTZ always shows something on the display screen. As far as looks go, both trucks are striking and look good from any angle. The diesel is cheaper to drive right now because premium fuel is $0.54 more per gallon than diesel. Both get about the same mileage in mixed driving. As for bed lights, the Raptor has a switch near the tailgate that's convenient but not very robust. They fail often and are a common complaint on the Ford forums.

Not much else you can do. Leave it in its original state and take it to the dealer for repair. The warranty should cover it.

The problems are most likely related to the modifications you've done. Do you know when the parking and other lights stopped working? That is did they work after any of the mods were done? You may have to reverse the mods and see if the other lights come back to life. GM won't warranty the truck with the mods in place so it's on you to find the problem. Replacing incandescent bulbs with LED's sometimes require a resistor in the circuit so the truck sees the correct resistance for the circuit to work properly. That could be part or all of the problem.

I've never had an issue and haven't seen any other post for it. That would be a warranty issue if that's what the view looks like with the front wheels pointing straight ahead.

If an older diesel sells for $10K more than a gasoline version, then it did indeed keep more value than the gas engine truck. $10K would be a 100% return on the investment and that's unheard of with used vehicles. The argument that diesels don't hold their value any more than a gas engine may be legitimate but the analogy above is wrong.

I'm reasonably sure the detailers chipped the paint during badge removal. The badges are adhered to the metal with a very strong adhesive and they are difficult to remove. If the detailer was in a hurry or inexperienced, they could easily chip the paint prying with a tool. The badges are plastic and if one breaks while being pried on the jagged end of the plastic can easily chip the paint. It's extremely unlikely that the paint was chipped by a factory worker pressing the badge into place during assembly. I'm pretty sure the warranty will not cover damage caused by someone removing a badge. You're best bet is to get the detailer to own up to the damage.
