First thing, get yourself an OBD II scanner, and see what error codes are in the computer. I find it dubious that they aren't finding anything themselves.
Secondly, take a video the next time it happens, so you have irrefutable evidence.
Why open them fully?! Do you think it makes a difference for venting out the fumes if they're open 100%, versus say, 20%?
On a side note - has anyone driven with the tailgate window open? I had some gas cans in the back the other day and was tempted, but worried it would damage the heated...
In this instance, it doesn't matter what your hitch receiver is rated to. Your vehicle (cooling, engine, transmission, etc) are rated to 8300 lbs. The hitch is the same one they use on the HD tow pack vehicles, hence why it's rated for more than your particular vehicle can handle.
You also...
Are our wives.... related?! I'll get one of these on order today. It'll help with me cringing and wincing every time I load the Skybox (21 too no less) with my wifes ridiculous pile of stuff.
Just bear in mind what Aspen said. I would epoxy that thing into the cupholder to prevent it, and the monitor attached to it, from decapitating someone in the event of a car accident.
Also, make sure the monitor has the correct VESA bolt pattern to match the mount.
Maybe even better… these guys make a cup holder monitor mount. Not sure how stable it would be, or what the max display size it could handle, but it’s worth a look. https://www.arkon.com/product/RM023VESA-car-cup-holder-vesa-mount.html
If it was me, I would look at a wall mounted monitor arm, scr3wed (dumb profanity filter) into the base of that cup holder. Something like this, but sideways of course. You would obviously lose the use of those cupholders though. I think a replacement cupholder is about $50, so you could...
It's annoying, but my trick to see the temperature (when Apple Carplay is on) is to press the Rear climate button twice. You see the outside temperature at the top of the screen for a few seconds as it switches back and forth.
After all the testing I did, I found the best fit on the shorty Expy is the Yakima Skybox Carbonite 21. It has a wider span than the Thule, so you can leave the Expy crossbars in the factory setting.
With a Thule, you have to move the rear crossbar to its more forward position (about 16")...
