    I have a hard enough time waiting for the nanny warning on the radio to go away... Even when i press continue it doesn't continue. I'm never going to buy a newer truck.

    A lot of owners like to tout the advantages of the safety sense features of the 2020+ model years, but I continue to feel like I won the lottery by lucking into the last model year without them. :crapstorm:

    That's just me.

    Had the OTT tuning done, so far not happy. Will probably have them revert it back to factory when they are back in our area next month.

    What tune level did you get? I got a medium tune done and its been fantastic, eliminated the transmission hunt and up in the mountains that little extra bit of kick really makes a difference going up 6%-8% grades.

    When I get on the gas the transmissions kicks like a mule, feels like it drops a gear or two and slams it in to gear. Never did that before the tune. Also not a fan of how high the RPMS get before it shifts gears, it screams and just sounds like it wasn’t designed to go that high. I was mainly looking to get rid of the gear hunting and driving like a slug, but that’s how these were designed and built, probably shouldn’t mess with it so lesson learned. There’s a reason their liability release lists off all the things that can go wrong, mainly the drivetrain. Maybe I’m just too old because this tune makes me feel like the motor and/or tranny are going to grenade.
