Driver Alert 1 and 2

[OmahaBen]

I have test driven several new HD trucks and had a loaner 2019 1500 for a week.

 

Why do I need the Driver Alert 1 and 2?  My current truck has none of these and truly I don't need them. 

 

Explain your experiences and why you like them or how they were helpful to you. 

 

I see them as failure points causing costly repairs in the future. 

 

Thank you

You weren't clear about exactly which alerts you're referring to.  There are several; forward collision, lane change assist, cross traffic alert and some other minor alerts. I can't think of any reason a person wouldn't want to know they were about to have a rear end collision or back into the path of a crossing vehicle or change lanes with another car in that lane. All good safety features in my book.
