What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

2. you can choose two - i'm using mild as basic, and ECT button is switching it to medium.

 

It just snowed today, a wet snow that goes to ice as soon as it is driven on. Last winter, with the same studded tires, I did not have to use 4WD that much. Today, with the OTT tune being the only difference I found myself spinning more. This is with the lite setting. Now, it is slick, but I am wondering if the throttle is coming on quicker than with the stock tune. Something to think about if you are going to be in a snowy area. I will see how this progresses throughout the winter.

Even with this, the OTT stays in the truck just so I don't have to deal with the gear hunting.

 

You have a sunroof? My 2018 does not and I seem to have headroom - maybe I have a short torso…..

 

oddly enough i take it when the weather sucks. but when its nice out its launch control at every stop light, basically a 4500 rpm 2 step w/ 18#'s of boost and all wheel drive....finally figured out I could brake boost from a roll so that's been my new bad habit.

 

Outstanding

Turned out very nice, finished late Friday and now it has rained for three days straight. I guess what they say about washing your car makes the weather come in is true.

 

Crazy, I’m 6’6”, I have been on numerous road trips, including the loop from PNW down through Moab, Vegas and back up the coast and I have no complaints about my truck. Plenty of headroom, I don’t have seat jackers. I have the seat all the way back of course and the back reclined a couple clicks, and all is good. I don’t know, maybe there is that small difference between an off-road and a sport.

 

OTT Tune today, light/mild. Noticeable difference.

 

Some vehicles come with a "2nd gear start" feature for slick conditions. I've never tried it, but maybe you could go to S and put it in 2 if you are sitting at a stoplight.

 

Added a dash camera for those pesky drivers these days. Tired of not having evidence and getting run off the rd by18 wheelers.

 

I've travelled many miles in my days, and I can't recall a single time I was ever run off the road by an 18 wheeler...

Maybe they aren't the problem?

 

Obviously you weren't there so what do you know? You must drive an 18 wheeler? This was the first time it ever happened to me. The camera isn't just for those big rigs but for all drivers including you....

 

Agreed. On my cross country drives, they are always the safest and best drivers on the road.

 

Driving across country a few weeks ago I had a really close call of one driving me off the road for the first time. Just started coming over while I was right next to it. Thankfully the OTT gave me enough throttle response to accelerate on the shoulder and escape.

 

18 wheel drivers are not painted in a single brush stroke, I see dozens of accidents caused by them every year. Auto accidents with other motorists, hitting overhead structures, falling asleep at the wheel. I work for the DOT and respond to lots of these accidents to repair what the careless truck drivers damage.

No need to go at OP, he got a dash cam. it's not that deep buddy.

 

Their CDL is on the line for any infraction in the rig or in civilian life. And while they are annoying with the way they attempt to pass other rigs on uphills, they rarely weave at 90 like many smaller vehicle will.

 

I do have a sunroof which probably makes the headroom a bit worse. It's not terrible and I absolutely love this truck, it's more that my vision line is almost inline with the rear view mirror and sometimes I have to almost look under it to see if there is a vehicle to my right at a 4-way stop.

I do have seat jackers as well, that is more for the thigh support not being adjustable enough. Drove it across the country right after breaking it in and found that I would top out the thigh adjustment and want more on the longer stretches.

I have also read that the sport seats have less padding than the off road which is why I was contemplating cutting some foam out.

 

I do as well. I was just in a 2024 TRD Pro. There must have been 30+ switches in that thing all over the place. I had to help the new owner find the switch for the rear power window. It took both of us over 5 minutes to identify it.

 

Yes, the tunes bring the throttle on sooner and more aggressive. The version of the tune varies how aggressively it ramps up. You'll adapt.

 

S-mode doesn't set your gear. It limits how high of a gear the transmission can shift to.
