    Lock second row controls

    The audio controls engineer should be forced to chauffeur my grandson around for say a week. This should be a menu option to disarm those rear controls. Who would have ever thought folks would carry kids in the second row??? Stupid design decision. Can they fix with a firmware update?

    Phaser Recall

    Based on my experience, you are correct.

    Can we talk HD Tow one more time?

    When we were RV shopping, we found dealers that told us my Expy could pull 12,000 trailers. I’m pretty sure some would have said my wife’s Fiat 500 could pull a 5er if they thought it would sell the trailer. Believe what RV dealers tell you at your own peril. Most aren’t malicious, just...

    Phaser Recall

    I just picked up my truck after letting it sit at the dealer overnight. They did the reprogram, but it still rattles on start up. They said to give it 1,000 miles. I will keep a use log for those miles. Call me underwhelmed.

    Airing down tires on 22" wheels for off-roading

    You might want to look at the TFL YouTube review of the Wrangler, Bronco and Land Rover. They were on a moderate trail and the LR was on 20 or 22” rims. It punctured 2 tires and they had to load the flats in the Bronco and get new tires to retrieve the LR. Low profile tires and off road don’t...

    Phaser Recall

    The dealer just did the reprogram on my ‘19 Max today. I guess they have the Expy software in now. Is there more info on the tranny issue with the reflash?

    Deepest snow you drove through for some distance

    Years ago I took my wife to work at the hospital in my ‘04 Armada in 15”+ of snow during a snow emergency. Pulled a cop out of a ditch on my way home, then he proceeded to write me up for being out without a valid reason. Taking my wife to work didn’t do it for him - “she should have driven...

    What feature....?

    I don’t use: - Auto Start/Stop (installed the Eliminator) - Auto high beams (they only come on sometimes and they are unpredictable, annoying) - Lane Departure/Assist (more annoying than helpful) - Manual shifting (the CC holds speeds downhill without me having to monkey with the gears.) - The...

    Expensive Sunroof Repair

    Me too. I ended up with a Limited Max. It’s pretty loaded, but deleting the sunroof made the 360* camera option unavailable. At 6’5”, I need the headroom, so will not buy a sunroof. I fail to understand why so many manufacturers make sunroofs mandatory to get unrelated options.

    Is my lane assist not working

    This is one of those features, as you have seen, that requires a bit of set up. It’s good that you are sleuthing that out in pre-buy. THBS, this is one of the features I have on my ‘19 that I have turned off, along with the auto start/stop feature and auto high beams. The ACC is useful though.

    Tires needed..............Highway mostly driven

    I actually like the Toyos that came on my Expy. THBS, I will replace them with Goodrich K02s as I am planning a Moab/Utah trip and that won’t be highway focussed.

    New owner here with a few questions- 2019 Max Platinum

    Actual range or computed range? If your actual range is 340 on the highway, something is definitely wrong. If it’s the computed range, that is based on recent history. On a long road trip, it will get up there, but after a few city tanks, it will be low. Sometimes it’s fun to watch how slowly...

    Avoid the interstate: Utah is frikkin awesome!

    I don’t think paved roads were the goal.

    Avoid the interstate: Utah is frikkin awesome!

    Will a stock 2019 Limited Max with the full 4WD tranny do ok if I put K02s on it?
