Have you also looked at the Truxedo Sentry CT? Same pricing (give or take a few $$). I have one of these. Look at my profile for pics. If you want any specific things photographed, just let me know. It has a heavy-duty fabric cover on solid black anodized aluminum slats, (Sentry is vinyl...

I mostly agree with you, but I just want to point out that you aren't really complaining about the "transmission" as much as you are the "programming" of the transmission. The transmission just gives a wider range of gear selection choices. The logic of which gear the transmission should be in...

Just saw this thread, and wanted to get in on the fun. I wanted the XL STX SuperCab. I'm super happy with the truck, except for a tiny mechanical issue that is unsolved (yet). I don't like all the shiny stuff on the higher trims, and most of the fancy electronics don't impress me much, so I...

Interesting. "Flood mode" is the same procedure used for a carbureted vehicle. I guess it must inhibit the ignition, though. Do Fuel Injected vehicles ever actually flood?

I have the same question.

I have been using the "Tow mode" button for most of my driving, because it seems to move the desired cruise RPM setpoint up a bit higher than the default (1200 to 1400 or so). Sport mode has better shift points, but for some reason, they seem to have programmed this motor to keep the rpm high...

I heard on the Internet that you can just put it in reverse while you're rolling, and the camera will come on. Oh, and the transmission will not shift into reverse. But I guess you have to be pretty brave (or driving someone else's truck) to confirm. I'm not gonna try it... But here's a...

These comments are very on-point. I never got too upset about some of them, because I didn't pay extra for one of the higher trim levels. I did spring for the STX / Special Edition package, about which I will say more later. The XL dash parts that are silver are matte finish. The XL cluster...

Sorry about your truck. That is awful.. But Those WHEELS!!!

You are technically correct, but if you actually do the trigonometry, a 2" lift at the front axle (only), causes the rear bumper to drop only a little more than a half an inch, which would be challenging to even measure accurately, much less be noticeable. Data: (Approximations, not exact)...

This is pretty much the primary reason for the popularity of forums. Something happens to a vehicle that is a little bit mysterious, and people want to talk to others who have the same vehicle. "Is this normal?" is a typical first post for most people on ANY given forum. So... It's the...

Ah. This is my exact concern. I don't know if the Terrain Modes can be indicated on the standard XL display screen. Thanks for the update. Nice to know the modes can be enabled, though. That's enough for me to continue with my interest. I have some training in electronics and computers...

They should have called it the "My Little Pony" edition. That photo should have clouds of glitter trailing off behind it...

Welcome to the club, Wayne! Cool photos. That looks like a great place to get away from it all.

Did this question ever get answered definitively? Anybody enable the Terrain Modes on the XL? Trail Control? What does it look like on the display? I have the XL / STX also, and would like to do this, but don't want to waste money if it can't work...

This poll seems to be missing a color! Velocity Blue!!! I think the color is really what sold me on the truck after all my scientific comparisons and research, etc. By the way, I've been thinking about spicing up my grill a little, and I really like how yours looks.

It could be traction control preventing wheelspin. When you turn the vehicle, you unload the inside wheels, and especially in a pickup truck, the inside rear wheel is light;y loaded and prone to spinning anyway, especially the right (in my experience). The traction control is probably sensing...

And this is a great example of why they aren't that way any more ...

That's how Americans used to be...

I ‘ll put in my two cents worth. Because free advice is always worth at least what you pay for it. Brake pedal going to the floor is a major red flag symptom. Sounds like the root cause of your no-start is probably here. I don’t have the factory service manual (yet) but I believe there is a...
