I had that on my 2017 F150 a few times. I mentioned it to a friend, and he had the same. He talked to his dealer who asked him if he was at a Kwik Star convenience store when it occurred. He was. So was I. I think there are some electronic devices that can interfere, probably creating noise...

Agreed. I have an F150 with the 3.5EB and it's great. The engine would last longer if built the same but without the turbos, but I wouldn't own it in that case. In either case it isn't going to live as many miles as an OTR turbo diesel class 8 truck.

It's a bit of an apples/oranges comparison. EGT's on turbo diesels are typically 300-500 degrees cooler at full power than a gasoline engine. They typically are also already built stronger than a gasoline engine and operate at a notably lower output/liter. Turbos definitely work, and are...

Definitely some inconsistencies with the incrementals, but it looks like you put it all together for the third run. 93 mph is strong.

I live in northern Iowa, so probably not as much total snowfall as you but similar number of days with slippery roads. The majority of people here don't change tires for the winter. If you haven't driven with dedicated snow tires, you simply don't know what you're missing. I used to get by...

I wanted the stuff the Lariat added on my 2025. Spray in bedliner, adjustable bed tie-down rails, better stereo, heated seats and wheel, AWD, fake leather upholstery, and anything that had the possibility of being quieter. I built a 2026 in blue with the options I wanted, and the exact truck...

Yep!

Yep. On my 25 I can access the rear or side cameras while in motion. I don't recall being able to use the front one though, certainly for liability reasons.

Check your local farm stores. They often have bed mats in stock. Otherwise, I would see if there is any cardboard you can round up, possibly at a recycling center or at an appliance store.

It's a poltergeist indicator.

Depending on the model, that's true. My previous vehicle was a 2022 Camry AWD (purchased new), and through the 60k miles I had it, it got tires and normal maintenance. It had no breakdowns and zero recalls. My Maverick has had two recalls in the 4 months I've had it. The Camry is a unibody...

Don't buy a Toyota for better road noise, ride, or more luxury. More dependable, less recalls, longer lifespan and more boring are all good reasons to consider a Toyota though.

Toyota advertises their Safety Sense 2.0 (and likely newer versions) as protecting left turns. My Camry had it and it never interfered with normal driving. I also haven't had any issues with turning on my Maverick.

For me, a Hyundai/Kia is a crapshoot. Might be ok, good chance of it not. I won't buy one. The Santa Cruz is supposed to be discontinued in 2027, but they could accelerate that.

Maybe. The Hyundai/Kia 100k powertrain warranty is for the original owner only. It drops to 60k if purchased used.

Yeah, "Dynamic Radar Cruise Control" is what Toyota calls it, and my last vehicle was a Camry with that tech. It did not have this problem, and the emergency braking worked great also. I have had it happen using both regular cruise control and adaptive. Even with the regular cruise control it...

During normal operation of the adaptive cruse, when someone is and has been directly in front of me, it gets closer then brakes. It seems to be working properly. When someone is merging, it seems to be a greater distance, the truck brakes harshly for a moment, then often resumes to the set...

Yeah, that's what I was thinking would be the case. I mentioned I didn't see or hear any warning on the dash. It would seem adaptive cruise shouldn't be doing it since it is well beyond the following distance I set. That's why I said "some form" of automatic braking ... not sure what it is.

Makes sense, but the distance between us is significantly greater than the following distance ACC allows, and is set for in my case.
