I really get a kick out of all these old boomers saying they don't like all the technology in the new trucks and they prefer the 20-30 year old trucks or the base work truck models.
I bet they yell at the neighborhood kids to get off their grass too.
LOL!
If his battery was that bad I would think it would have been showing signs before this that were ignored.
Stinks that it happened the way it did in rush hour traffic, but this seems like a pretty fringe scenario.
I don't mind it that bad and never turn it off. The only slight annoyance for me is the slight delay between brake to gas, but I have gotten used to it and figure if it can save a little gas why not.
I like the console shifter. I like resting my hand on it while I drive.
But having that space for more storage is a valid alternative, and I can see why people don't like them.
My plan is to get a new AT4 next summer to replace my 2024 unless there are major problems with the new models (especially the engines).
