this post is going to be a little all over the place. I figured general would be the best place for it. These are just some points I’ve noticed, wondered about or can’t figure out.
Y’all have been great so far and looking forward to your replies!
- The transmission really seems to hit hard sometimes. I have about 500 miles on it, so I’m not too worried yet, but there are some times where it shifts really hard
- The adaptive cruise control is absolute garbage. I’ve driven a few other cars with it now and this is by far the worst. No matter what fallow distance you choose, the truck will accelerate til it gets too close, then brake hard, lag behind, then have to speed up again. I find myself having to drive up to what I think is the fallowing distance I’ve selected then turn it on. If the truck is already braking, and I tap the brakes, since they’re already "pre loaded" or already being applied, they’re EXTREMELY sensitive and I find myself scaring everyone else in the truck.
- I asked my salesman if the truck would "crawl" in traffic. He said yes. He is a liar.
- I’ve been playing around with ForScan and ran into an issue. I had the top speed turned off, but after writing some things with ForScan, the 80mph limit is back and I can’t figure out how to turn it off. I haven’t gotten the book out yet... but just poking around I couldn’t find anything.
- What are your favorite ForScan changes you’ve made?
- I installed the MX4 bed cover and so far it’s been good. We had a hard rain storm the other night and there was some water that got through the cover. Not too bad but turns out the tailgate is the biggest issue. (See pics)
- I can’t remember the brand of rubber mat I put in the bed, but it was 100$ and it’s great. Keeps stuff from sliding around and will slightly disperse the weight of any heavy object that is dropped in the bed.
- The google assistant in android auto is now broken. I’m pretty certain it’s an Android 10 issue, but figured I’d drop something here in case anyone else has found a fix. I’ve already cleared data/cache from the AA and google app. Also uninstalled updates from the AA app. I’m out of ideas.
- The whole changing audio sources after using AA/CarPlay is absolutely infuriating. How hard can it be to default to bluetooth?!
- It hasn’t been cold enough in Denver yet to have the heated seats come on with remote start, but I’m assuming with my climate control set to "auto" the seats will come on at a certain outside air temp? The preset of 72 degrees on auto seems to work just fine.
- Things I think are a "must have" in the truck: ratchet straps, jerk/tow/snatch strap or digging Subaru’s out of the snow (former subi owner so I need to rib them a bit), flash light, jumper cables.
- What else have you outfitted your truck with?
Y’all have been great so far and looking forward to your replies!
