My 2021 Bose system is great. Are all your speakers working?

Same here, my 2021 trail boss bose system is great, but I have been seeing many people complain about the refreshed models and the bose.

It's not bad for a OEM system. Way better than the Revel system in my old '17 Continental. 

My '11 Tahoe Bose had the same door speakers as my '09 Malibu LS with a base radio. WTF, speaker change made a world of difference in it with just basic aftermarket coaxial speakers when one went dead.

My '22 refresh Bose sounded dull and muddy. Changed dash tweeters and rear door speakers. Set the bass and treble to max and mid all the way down. Major improvement and now sounds great.

If you want good sound you have to go aftermarket. My old truck I had $2500 in stereo equipment. Modest amount IMO.

Why should I need to go aftermarket after spending 68k?

Did you not audition the audio system before buying the truck?  I believe the competition might have better radios, I never compared them side by side, but it's hard to understand your gripe if this is such a high priority and you are complaining after the fact.  The fact the the truck was $68K is irrelevant as that's in range for the going rate for all trucks in this class.

 

The easy answer is, you should have done a better job shopping. Not being snarky, and I too have a wish list of things I wish were better, but for my needs, and what I wanted to spend, I think I got the best truck for my needs.  If having a better radio was a higher priority, I probably would have gotten something else.  Everyone on the planet knows Bose pretty much blows. They have been the premium vendor of choice for a few decades now - How did you possibly miss that?

Not really concerned about your useless reply... But thanks for playing.

Clearly you started this thread to highlight to the world that you foolishly made a $68K mistake, and it appears now you want to lash out and punish everyone for your stupidity.  That's OK.  Have fun.

      Roll up bed cover experiences

      By StingerZ16 · Posted

      I started with a folding cover by BAK PAC on my 2500. It went bad after close to 5 years. Bent and vinyl coming loose. Contacted BAK and they gave me a very good discount on a Revolver. Had it a number of years. Mostly outdoor storage. Some garage storage. Vinyl started to come loose. Still under warranty so they replaced to cover. Sold the 2500, bought the 1500 and got another revolver for it. Had it a couple years now and no issues. I store it indoors. Got a bit of discount when buying it as well. If you are seeing problems, contact BAK or real truck and let them know. Customer service was pretty good. But I think they changed their warranty.

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      I agree, there is no one answer fits all as every rig is different, one may be pulling some little aluminum fishing boat while another is towing a monstrosity that weighs a lot and hopefully the owner if the rig has some prior experience to know what drive mode they should choose.    It also struck me and this is from watching a few of those boat ramp escapades videos in the past, Ford being one of the vehicles that has the auto front axle hubs and sure enough its found out that one hub has crapped out and won't engage and may not have manual hubs to even select on both sides so they are on the boat ramp stuck with no four wheel drive and spinning .... they flat out need a tow to get up the ramp and deal with the vehicles new found issues. That can happen to all brands of pickup, finding out either four wheel drive or 4 low isn't working right at the time its needed it to work as some electronic crap has failed.

      Its possible you never had the joy of the crappy boat launches we tend to have around here or really some of them are just grades down to the river if its a river scenario and the conditions change all the time with the river levels and silt deposits. Some of the lakes we went to years ago, there was no such thing as a cement pad that went down into the water that the trailer stayed on, it was gravel maybe up to the water line and then duck crap much beyond that so sinking the boat tires into mud. Of course some of the more established lakes had a cement bar type boat ramp but sometimes it was covered in green slime closer and certainly within the water and a two wheel drive had all sorts of fun if one had to touch that slime with the rear tires.    A neighbor of mine had made a comment years back with his chev truck that was probably about the same year as yours but a half ton extended cab 4x4 and he a a fiberglass boat with an inboard so it wasn't a feather weight and he had gone out to one of the large popular lakes in the area and don't ask me how this happened but he was in two wheel drive as he figured he didn't require four wheel drive for that boat ramp and somehow upon pulling the boat out he twisted one of his drive axles. I suspect it must have spun and then grabbed on the cement ramp and shocked it to the degree of twisting it. He would have had the standard 8.5 or whatever it was axle housing as the 9.5 ring gear like my truck has also has larger drive axles as far as I know. Anyway he was feeling a vibration driving home and had it checked out and a shop found that the tire/hub was wobbling because of the axle had twisted so in went a new drive axle. After that bad experience he said he made sure to put it into four wheel drive to lower the stress on the rear axle. Of course that is where an HD truck can handle a lot more stress and no doubt these newer half tons with their larger ring gears probably have larger drive axles as well to match vs back in the day.

      Desirable - as in does someone WANT one, aspire to have one. Could reasonably buy any car they want and CHOOSE these instead.    I didn't watch the video, why did they win?

      The use of absolutes like "always" to describe gear selection, and giving free advice at a boat ramp sounds like a recipe for disaster. It's a boat ramp, not a farm, for starters.   IMO gear selection should depend on the obstacle. If low range is working and this is a slower speed, controlled ordeal, I'd keep using that.
