    2017 brake issue

    Interesting stuff. I have a 2016. My rotors are very hot to the touch (can't touch for more than a half second) after parking at home and often have just a hint of singe smell to them. I do city driving, and my last mile is stop and go through a residential area. I'm not sure if this is normal...

    New 8 speed transmission...

    This is the 2017 TSB, right? Not the one referenced above that may be even newer?

    New 8 speed transmission...

    Yes - my '16 does this on hills. I had the first transmission flash installed last year, and it did not help.

    New 8 speed transmission...

    Any chance you can share the service codes from your receipt? That would help us identify the update for our dealers. Thanks!

    RSE - Adding Insult to Injury?

    I was fiddling with the rear seat screens the other day and thinking about how poor 480p resolution looks when trying to navigate a Fire Stick. And then I realized the actual on-screen menus don't look that bad. The text is actually fairly sharp. And then it dawned on me: I think our dumpy...

    Shift shock in 2017 200 Series

    I have the same problem in my '16. I had the TSB applied, and it did not help with the 1 to 2 hesitation and shifting after coasting. My $0.02 on this issue is that the truck is shifting to 1 when it should be hanging out in 2. When you press the accelerator, it revs and then shifts abruptly...

    The 8-Speed Transmission was Designed for Bigger Tires

    Sorry if that was misleading. To rephrase, it felt like 100% of the braking performance occurred with 50% of available pedal travel with stock tires. The result was that the brakes felt overly sensitive or grabby. With the larger tires, braking performance undoubtedly decreases. But the...

    The 8-Speed Transmission was Designed for Bigger Tires

    I really enjoy the KO2s, and this is coming from someone that drives 95%+ in the city. Tire noise increase is present but negligible. I'm a stickler for fixing rattles and other noises, and I have no concerns with these tires. The ride is firmer, but the truck wallows less on uneven roads...

    USB Port/12v Port Amperage for charging devices?

    Bonus fact: the wireless charging pad in the 2016+ 200 is 5 watts. It's not the quickest way to charge a phone. The iPhone X and iPhone 8/8+ support wireless charging at up to 7.5 watts, but you must purchase a wireless charger that is specifically designed (chipped) to work with Apple products...

    USB Port/12v Port Amperage for charging devices?

    Quick caveat: the older 120V iPad chargers are only 5 watts--even though they are the larger, roundish chargers. The only way to know for sure is to read the ultra-tiny print on the charger and confirm the output is 5V 2.4A. If you have had numerous Apple devices in your life, you likely have a...

    USB Port/12v Port Amperage for charging devices?

    The built-in USB charger on 2016+ only supports the basic USB specification of 5 watts. Newer iPads are shipped with a 12 watt charging brick, and some may even support charging up to 24 watts (via USB-C to lightning adapter). In short, the 12V plug is more powerful. The 12V plug coupled with...

    The 8-Speed Transmission was Designed for Bigger Tires

    I know, that's a bold statement. But let's talk about this. Along with other members, I have lodged my complaints with the 8-speed transmission. It shifts abruptly; first gear is too low; it hunts between 1st and 2nd after coasting, etc. All of these complaints were based on a completely...

    Navigation screen malfunction 2016 LC

    I mentioned in a separate thread that my dealer replaced my head unit to resolve this issue. It seemed a little excessive. The new head unit works fine. The navigation distances that can be shown in the center dash are now correct, too. They were previously off by a factor of 10. For example...

    Center console screen rebooted?

    Also, if your nav freezes, push and hold the radio power button (volume knob) and it will reboot after about 10 seconds.

    Center console screen rebooted?

    I have a 2016. I reported a similar problem to my dealer, and they replaced the head unit. It fixed an issue with the nav mileage being displayed incorrectly in the dash (off by a factor of 10) and allegedly helped with the reboot/freezing issues. I think it has frozen once in 6 months since then.

    Black Powder Coating Stock 2016 Wheels - Pics?

    Those wheels are sharp! I think I like charcoal now, too. What would look best on a black truck--black or charcoal wheels?

    Black Powder Coating Stock 2016 Wheels - Pics?

    Bumping an old thread because the link above is dead. Does anybody have photos of powder coated 2016+ wheels? For those that have done this, how does the powder coating hold up over time?
