Seemed to be working today when I had both key fobs in my pocket.  Was in and out of the truck 10 to 20 times at my various stops.  Then all of the sudden was loud again when I got in.  Starting to wonder if there is a pattern I haven't figured out yet, like when I've unlocked the truck with the fob or used the keyless entry with the button on the door.  Either way that should matter so I'll probably still have go to the dealer eventually.

I logged out of my profile and returned to guest mode.  I went into settings/sounds and turned the start up volume nearly all the way down.  I logged back into my profile and now now no more LOUD start up!

That's what worked for me too. Changing the "guest" settings. Before it reads what remote is there it defaults to guest. Then swaps to yours. Changing both should fix it

Got in this morn and it was crazy loud again. I was ready and in position to turn it down quickly, but still made me jump a bit.  No profiles on my LT so still haven't got it figured out 100% yet

And you've tried going into the "guest" profile and adjusting the settings there? I've noticed after adjusting those and going back to mine it solved it. The truck was defaulting to the guest profile while it "found" my key and signed into the profile.

There are no profiles at all not even "guest" in my truck.

 

It was fine this time when I just got in.

Wow. Weird there isn't a "users" icon. Sorry, then I'm lost.

Ya for a sec I was hoping it was in demo mode or something at first. But I quickly figured that couldn't be it.  I went from a 2015 High Country Dmax to this 2021 LT 6.6L and surprisingly there is a little bit of a learning curve here I suppose. But still don't get it either.

If we forget, start the truck, and start backing out of the driveway, the radio comes on very loud.  Makes you jump.  If I remember, I change the input to my phone before i shut the truck off.  Then when we start, it is on phone, and no loud radio.  Since the dealer hasn't heard of this problem, no use making a special trip in for it.

Same problem here. Super loud every time no matter if you reset the max volume at startup setting. Can they not beam updates to these trucks? No time to go to a dealer. Pretty ridiculous for a nearly $60k truck.

Go in to your setting and do a FULL FACTORY RESET.  Save yourself a trip to the dealer.

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      By KARNUT · Posted

      First off use it in the way you’re more comfortable. In working in off road situations most of my life I used 4WD low range very little. In most cases when equipped I used auto 4WD. If I wanted maximum control going up and down very steep terrain  I used low range. Especially if I was driving a diesel. Same with very rutted terrain. In very muddy or snowy conditions I wanted momentum so high range worked well for that. With gravel ramps with limited traction I would try high range first. I would want smooth even increasing speed if I was fighting traction. Low range could give you too much to the wheels breaking traction trying to move.

      Having owned 4wd vehicle since the 1970s I find there are varying opinions on how to use 4wd, every owner is an expert in their minds.  IMO, 4LO is the appropriate gear and what I would use,  You have to feather the gas to avoid spinning tires and the lower the gear the better chance.  But like I said you will find those that think their method is best.  I live near a boat launch.  Yesterday there was a new Ford Maverick pulling out a pontoon boat almost 2x its size, they had no problems and they don't have a LO range.   True story. One winter day not long ago I was coming out of small town post office and there was a F150 4wd parked in front and was stuck foot deep snow ruts. I knew the lady so I asked her to put it in 4wd (wondering why in the middle of a 2-day snow storm she wasn't).  Her reply surprised me, "my husband" (the expert) told me not use that because it uses too much gas. She finally got unstuck spinning in 2wd which likely used more gas than not.

      Your tire pressure issue may just be batteries, you can reset them using tge Ing switch (I think) and the owner's  manual. ChatGTP will b e a faster, better help than Google.

      The thinking is that starting out in a higher gear makes it easier to avoid applying excessive torque when pressing the gas pedal. In a modern 4wd truck with 4 low and a limited slip or locking rear end, I would use 4 low and try to crawl up the ramp. Sometimes if they are too slippery, you have to back up to let the boat have some bouyancy, and then accelerate briskly to get some momentum to help you pull the through the slippery parts.

      I have a Retrax pro that I first had on my 2020 chevy and transferred it to my current GMC.  It stays in the garage most of the time, so hard for me to judge it's long term weather resistance.  It still works perfectly, been very durable.  It doesn't see oil patch usage, but it's not a mall queen.  It keeps most things mostly dry (small leaks) and the security of it is enough to slow someone down but not keep them out for long.  I would buy one again, it works for me.
