    I'm sure there's some post somewhere with the answer to my simple question but I didn't see it. How can I turn off all headlights/running lights while truck is running with its in park?? There has to be a way to do this i'm sure.

    No way to turn the drls off in the stock config until 2013 models. If you set the parking brake before you start the car the drls won't turn on.

    DTRL must be an option. My 2012 didn't come with them, and it has the auto trans.
