Well, kudos to you for capitalizing on the current market AND get into a BETTER truck at the same time!
Will you be sending in your Ram Mafia application fee to 12V or shall we have him contact you regarding this? LOL

Congrats on the new rig!

Biggest downside is the requirement to plate it as commercial here in OK. Now will that mean I need to pull into weigh stations with my truck camper on the back?

IIRC somebody addressed this type of issue earlier in this thread.

I'm glad someone likes adaptive cruise. I don't personally get that close to other vehicles when I carry my truck camper or tow.

I wonder how well it adapts for the heavier load when it applies brakes.


I have the Ford version on a 2018 Escape - love it on the highway/freeway - in town not so much.

As others have mentioned the onboard radar picks up cars in left turn lanes and triggers both a slow down/break and the 'collision avoid' warnings (I turned the collision break OFF). A bit annoying but in areas with heavy LEO patrols (with radar guns) CC can come in handy.

I've gotten to where I simply don't use it in town.

Out on the highway/freeway it works very well. Seems that many folks don't regulate their speed very well so it frees the driver from manually speeding up/slowing down with ether their foot or finger on the +/- buttons.
