Granted I’m towing ~6,000 lbs with wind but WTH? Currently driving Denver > Albuquerque > Grand Canyon > Vegas > Moab but barely making it between some pumps. Otherwise the tow experience is great for a non-HD truck but this seems a bit off.... BTW the trip odo is showing the full trip not...

@orangefj45 Did the 200 notice any improvement in MPG? How was it modded (gears/tires/weight)? My 2013 is heavily armored on 285/75R17s (33-34”) with stock gears and gets 12-13 mpg. I have a set of time 4.88s that will be going in soon, that will give it close to the same effective ratio as...

Hi all, has anyone tried finding a wire to splice into to have the reverse camera on with a switch on the dash (or center console) in addition to when the gear selector is in reverse? I'd be OK with the reverse lights coming in as well when I switch it on. This function would be for off roading...
