I love my new truck. It is my first one. If it was a perfect world though, I would make these changes. Keep in mind I just traded in my 97' Cadillac Deville for this truck.
-Rear view mirror too small. I have the homelink system as well as the temp and direction. Would probably be too expensive to change that.
-Hate gauges. Digital is the future. When I am going 55, I want it to say 55.
-My leg hit the power seat buttons getting in. The first few times I got into the truck I kept thinking that somebody was messing with me. I am 6'2". Shorter people will be worse.
-I don't like the turn indicator blinker noise.
Thats all I could come up with. I will post some pics soon.
I am not bad mouthing the truck by any means. I love the thing.
I have to agree with the mirror, too short, not even covers the whole view of the rear window. The homelink buttons need some sort of indicator light. I can't see them at night.
I also agree with the mirror issues. I have to turn on the map light to see the buttons at night.
The turn signal is loud, but at least it will remind me to turn it off if I don't make a turn that doesn it automatically.
The heated seat switches are in a bad place. If you have anything plugged in the outlets, they are almost impossible to get to.
I noticed that when I start the truck, the A/C light on the switch seems to be activated automatically. Being that it is now winter, this is very annoying. I guess in the summer the heater will turn on instead.
Still trying to get used to the large towing mirrors.

Do you keep your vent setting on defrost? If you turn the knob all the way to defrost, the A/C automatically comes on... I actually kind of like that feature...

The thing I don't like is when you turn it off of defrost the AC doesn't turn off!

Good point David, I just noticed that this morning on the way to work. Doesn't seem to make sense that the A/C remains on after you switch out of defrost. Weird......But, who cares........I'm in LOVE!!!!
