I look at it as a bad thing. The benefit is too little if there is any benefit at all. A performance vehicle that is judged and purchased purely for said performance? Sure, makes sense.

It seems we judge people on their politics now more than anything else. It's getting pretty sad when the fires in LA became political.

Does seem low but can you list other like vehicles for context? What's the LC for example?

Good point. My newest cell phone is less reliable than my first one. But my new one can do so much more. Same with my laptop and Windows.

Well, my 2011 Ram might as well be welded. Pretty sure I'm not gonna be able to remove those rusted bolts without a cutting tool at this point.

I doubt it since he was just put in charge of manufacturing when he was made COO last May, after the big recall. Before that he was a VP in sales/marketing. And Tundra had its best year in history after he took over. But then again, who knows?

Except, in the Ram Hemi's case, lifter failure occurs in the engine model without MDS as well as the model with it.

Always tough when you get these reports. The "870K affected" sounds so bad, but when only 39 complaints have come in, that kinda puts it perspective. I wonder what failure percentage point GM determines it is not random, but a problem that needs to be addressed? I suppose the "doom & gloom" YT...

I use cruise in snow all the time. I judge based on the actual road condition. It's what the internet has created. If a video gets made and everyone jumps on that bandwagon by supporting the video, then it becomes fact regardless of the truth. And everyone who agrees feels part of the "right...

That's funny! It's like how they get worked up over your RHO not having regular cruise. There are so many damn variables you'd have to consider before judging that. Terrain, truck size relative to trailer, type of trailer, etc. If I'm towing lighter where every little incline doesn't kill my...

lol...now you're just showing my age damn it.

One great feature of ACC that I stumbled into. My son was following me home from hunting camp and I was pulling our trailer. I was speeding up on downhills and slowing down on corners and uphills. He was able to just set it and forget it and stay at a nice even distance from me the whole time...

Yep. Even the Ranger Raptor or Chevy ZR2 works with clutches. Basically, anything with the 4wd Auto has to. One exception I've heard is the full-size Raptor. In Auto it uses clutches but has a mechanical lock for 4H/4L. But I'd still take a 4wd Auto over not, just too damn convenient.

I think it's Magna Powertrain. Hence the MP3024 designation.

The absolute biggest negative to adaptive: Not noticing you are slowing down so much. It took me awhile to get used to just passing if I came up on anyone as soon as possible. I'm guessing that all the brands will slowly switch to just adaptive cruise. I think someone said the Ranger Raptor...

Getty made a bigger deal out of it than it really is. The 44-44 really isn't much different than the 48-11 that is in there now. Even in 4wdLock, you still need wheel speed differential to engage the front diff but it just happens faster now is all. Clutches still burn up when abused, just fact...

In all fairness, this applies to all transfer cases that have the "auto" mode. They all use clutches to engage the front end and require some wheel spin to engage. And clutches can heat up and fail. The ones without the auto mode like the Ram Rebel or Toyota Tundra have solid engagement systems...

With the BW transfer cases, if it had 4wd Auto the front end engaged with clutches no matter the setting. Even in 4wdLock/4wdLow, the fronts do not get power until it senses slippage. Fine for 90% of users and I've had no issues. But guys using them to plow were burning up transfer cases quite...

Guess we'll find out how much easier that Xpel will make it to wash her down.

Well, the first installment of reviews can be: How does the RHO do on a long road trip in shitty weather?
