Same for me, it was one of the first things they brought up. I didn’t think I’d care for it, but the first time I saw it in person I wanted it, it’s a pretty great feature

 

 

Side note: I really wish I had a designated sunglasses holder :( do you guys have one?

Yes, I really miss the sunglass holder myself.  I do not like leaving them in the sun.  I bought a case to put them in

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!

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

Careful using that cubby, some glasses nose-pads are sensitive to UV or heat and start to crumble, my Revos never did well left in the sun like that.   Silicone and solid nose pads should be fine.

Good point! I have a sunglasses case that I'm using to help keep them clean when not in use so that should help

So confused why you'd leave your sunglasses in the vehicle. I can't be outside without sunglasses.

At night?  :D

If the sun is up, I'm wearing sunglasses. If the sun it not, sunglasses stay at the house. They come into the house so I can wear them in the  back yard with the dogs. I don't have a car only pair. I'm too old to stay out all night at a rave and need them for sunrise and Waffle House. ??

Discovered yesterday that you can shut down the engine after a Remote Start by just pushing the Remote start button again on the Key Fob.

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.

It is on my 2018 SLT CCSB Premium Plus, not sure on other trim levels although Denali surly has it too.

I'm just thrilled that the sun visors slide to the side as well for better adjustment!   They seem to change that every few years, my 05 had it and my 08 didn't!   Thank you for bringing that back! 

 

I do have a complaint...  If you are going to a key fob system, why would you make the glove box require a key?

You can remove the key from your key fob when valet parking , etc..  .    Whoever is parking your car can't get into your glovebox if it is locked and they only have the fob, not your key.

I guess....   they made the tailgate fob only, they should have done that with the glove box too.  The truck has a valet mode (not sure what it does) but limit the tailgate \ glove box opening while in valet mode would have been nice.

You can temporarily disable the auto lock feature by opening a door and holding the unlock button on the door till the horn beeps. 

Really nice if you are loading/unloading the truck and don’t want it to lock every time you walk away and  unlock every time you approach over and over...

 

It’s in the manual but but I just discovered it and I think it’s awesome!

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

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.

Mine is a trail boss and I have the feature. Make sure it's turned on.

 

I agree, I wish we could roll them up to.

      Vehicle Payments

      By ChristopherDobson · Posted

      Monthly payment is only part of the equation. With today's prices and interest rates, I'd look at the total monthly cost: payment, insurance, registration, fuel, maintenance, and expected repairs. A vehicle that fits comfortably into your budget is usually the better choice than stretching for a higher trim. I've also kept my vehicles longer over the past few years. New cars have gotten expensive enough that driving one for 10+ years, while staying on top of maintenance, often ends up being the most cost-effective approach.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      10 Ford and Chevy engines proven to reach 300,000 miles   You may note a common 3K OCI on this list of gas motors. I skipped over the diesels. Dh'O.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By jake111 · Posted

      Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.

      cam upgrade in CA

      By davester · Posted

      apparently CA smog is (or at least was)  checking that the vehicle is using the oem and/or a ca smog approved tune, so I expect you'll fail inspection doing it.

      Possible lifter tick after DOD delete

      By davester · Posted

      yes, leaking exhaust will mess up o2 sensor readings, which in turn messes up fuel trims.
