We took a week off and drove up north, my girlfriend ran in the Lululemon half marathon in Vancouver. Camped some of the nights, the truck was comfortable the whole time, longest day was roughly a 12 hour drive. I did notice the padding on the center console is lacking, seems to compress and stay compressed. Mileage was okay.. drove mostly with my thumb in the 65-75 mph range, highest I saw on a tank was 24, average was somewhat less. My truck is a xlt fx4 with the 265 dynapro tires. I’m thinking they are the reason for the unimpressive mileage.
Wild blackberries were perfectly ripe in northwest WA, weather was great too. Camped on my boss’s blueberry farm for the night before heading to Canada.
The truck was great in Vancouver, plenty of quick acceleration in sport mode to keep up with Canada’s wild drivers! The truck tent is excellent, extremely clean way to camp. More fun than being on the ground.
We were denied entry back into the US due to 4 pieces of firewood in the bed.. had to drive back across to Canada, dump the firewood, and cross the border again. Lesson learned!

Sounds like a nice trip. I noticed the little arrows on the lane markers in your center display in the last pic. I have never seen those in mine, Just curious as to what they are.

He probably has lane keeping assist turned on. Not sure and too lazy to go out and turn mine on to see if that is true.

After some thought I'd guess it's set to assist in the steering, not just the wheel vibrating, I'll try to switch mine on next time driving as I get the green dashes at 40+ (or maybe it's 35)
