I have that, but my father has a fully loaded Trailboss that doesn't. 

 

 

Wish you could roll them back up too as well as be able to do it through onstar. 

I have a Trailboss as well and it works.  You need to enable the feature first in the settings menu of the infotainment system

I found out this weekend that while using Android Auto (maybe CarPlay as well) if you rotate the right radio knob it will zoom the map in and out.

Discovered this today.... if you press on the skinny pedal on the right, you can find Ford F-150's in the rear view mirror...   They just appear there... its like magic!  

AT4CK!

In case you were wondering...  Two bottles of wine fit in the door compartment perfectly!

That's an awesome feature.  Wish my Cadillacs had that (or maybe they did.). How is it disabled when you're done? 

It automatically resets once you lock the truck!   Nice.

No- I've used it a lot of times. 

 

Just to clarify- Open the drivers door and hold the unlock button on the door for a few seconds.  You will hear a beep (inside the truck not the horn) and that's it.

Thank You.  I was holding the outside unlock button down.    Wish I knew about this sooner.  Would have made tailgating a lot less stressful not having someone asking me to unlock my door every 5 seconds every Sunday.

Don’t see the Grade Braking in the owners manual. Hope this feature is gone as I would hold in the tow haul button on to shut it off. :smash:

 

I do see it there... but it says it's not active when range selection mode is active.

Not sure if this was a feature on the K2s but you can make your key fob lower all the windows down by holding the unlock button for a couple of seconds. This will be nice in the Texas heat this summer.

I had to apply the setting in the infotainment screen.
 

 

I still have no idea why the default was "off" - I loved that in my Audi and VW.  Why can't GM just have it on instead? It would bring so much joy!

Because car companies have been held responsible because owners have had the fob in their pants pocket, sat down or somehow hit the button for the set amount of time and all the windows opened and it was raining for snowing and the companies were held responsible. So with that being said there is a switch to turn it off that you must turn on so they can’t be blamed, I know Lexus and Audi has to program that option on at the dealer as a free upgrade but you have to singn off that you requested it to be done.

According to the display, the remote should also raise the windows with the remote, but it only lowers them when the unlock button is pressed, holding the lock button doesn't do anything. Maybe an update in the future will make this operational.

The remote close feature should work on all models with the powered tailgate.

Mine does not close.. Only opens.

Apparently the ability to remote open and close the tailgate is limited to the LTZ and High Country models.

      Transmission Woes :-(

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Yep, just a quick reference point.    My main point being I’d do a thousand other things before I’d pay 10k for a transmission.    Speaking in ignorance cause I don’t look at these trucks, what is it worth? 20k?

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      I think users are going to want to pick their monitored parameters, which parameters they want to see first.    It should probably start with baseline at a minimum and adjust to learned, but be able to overlay baseline for comparison.   A simple severity level would be able to determine what type of alerting is appropriate or user selectable.    Why not use the OBD port though?   I think a phone connection would be a good idea, push notifications type deal.   Number 1 issue is having data is useless if you don’t know what the data should be under normal conditions.

      summer road trips in the 2026 2500HD

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I thought I would use your thread and add to it as I just did my first longer drive with my truck in the last couple of days. I drove from the Grande Prairie area of Alberta down to Edmonton and most of where I drove in the city was the ring road so fairly free flowing but a bit of stop and go as well in the city. Stayed the night and returned home and not too many stops along the way each way but every restart and certainly every cold start sets it back for fuel mileage. Why I say that is I see some people will cherry pick a fuel mileage leg after the vehicle had been warmed up driveline wise before hand and its a forgiving ( easy rolling drive leg for example ) and call that their fuel mileage which can give a false perception of reality. I was not heavily loaded at all but never the less the flip bak cover, rubber bed mat, various tools etc and extra jerry cans of fuel all way up to a few hundred pounds of dead weight so its not an empty truck. The cold inflation tire pressures are set more near the freezing point so once they are warmed up driving I was showing 45 front and over 40 rear and realize high inflation pressures would help a little in fuel mileage but certainly not the ride on our crap sections of highway. The weather was good so was not raining as that can really drag mileage down, in fact I had a bit of a tail wind on average driving home. Most people on here would never have driven on that freeway to visualize it but its got a fair bit of rolling type of landscape with numerous river valleys. For the most part I had it on cruise set to 62 although kicking it off if I caught it in time before it started down shifting and self braking going down the grades. Most of the more substantial grades its shifting into 7th I believe as 8th just doesn't have it. Total distance round trip was 643 miles and my overall average and I did refuel three times in all, figured out to 17.65 miles per US gallon. My best fuel mileage section refuel within all of this figured out to 18.46 and these are all hand calculated figures. I find if anything that the trucks computer can be over optimistic, sometimes its pretty close but other times its stretching it. On paper persay in theory the truck would have just about made it on fumes for that whole drive without refueling once.    Which made me think of the topic thread of the wonder if these trucks could do 20 mpg and that is a good question, certainly would have to be on an easy going flat highway, no head wind, the right temperature, not packing around a bunch of dead weight and puttering along even slower than I was I would suspect and going steady and not stopping to smell the flowers or take a piss !. It probably is possible but not without effort to attain that with the wind resistance and weight of these trucks. Of course on my drive most people are passing me if they have the power as per loaded highway tractors, never mind a lot of speedy vehicles but the speed limit is 68 and most are at or well over that.

      Ac not keeping up

      By Aimatdeer · Posted

      Monday looks like a good day for the dealer to test an ac issue. Hopefully it all turns out good.
