    will a lil trail cruzin hurt if it only has 130 miles or should I wait till at least 500? I just wanted to test It out on some dirt roads in 4 high/low the terrain selections etc.
    Question: How does it actually adjust for different terrains?

    Question number two. What the hell is the icon on the steering wheel that looks like 3 little folders. It’s not in the quick guide.

    I don't know number one, but for number two just think of it as the home button. It takes you back to the digital speedometer/miles till empty screen on your dash computer.

    The terrain select just changes how much tire slippage the truck allows in a given terrain, I forget what's highest slippage and least slippage

    I should mention that's only used for crawl control when the truck has full control over all 4 wheels

    MTS and CC are different. You can still apply MTS and have control of your truck the computer will help depending on terrain selection. CC you select speed and the truck does the rest.
    Both require 4lo

    Tip: if you want to to read something else when you hit that button, just hold it on the screen you want to default it to. I like it to read the digital speedo though.

    I believe off-road voids your warranty. That aside I would wait until 500.

    If I recall, no fast breaking and don’t hold your speed was in the manual! I have only 3000 miles and been in the snow,on the beach, and 2 easy trails in URE. I believe 1000 or 2000 was a break in on those..

    BUCKLE UP! It makes it harder for Aliens to pull you out of your Truck.
    Get out there and lay a beating on it. Good day!

    Break it in off-road! First 100 mile click on mine was on a dirt road in the middle of Joshua Tree NP. If you only drive it on pavement, it won’t be properly trained.

    nice! Haha took it to the lake today. Took her home and washed her and got to know all her curves and flaws (none). Ran my fingers over the tail pipe. Wiped her down real good.
