Does the Damn gas pump get stuck in your filler neck too
I wish my 18 Sport showed real time tire psi like so many other autos do nowadays. Also your think the vented seats would be colder/stronger considering it's a truck.
My 2018 Night Edition (Sport), shows real time psi.

Yeah, it was later determined his BCM was throwing error code PEBSAD.

Tow haul: Here is something I copied from the online manual for my 2018:
"When frequent transmission shifting occurs (such as when operating the vehicle under heavy loading conditions, in hilly terrain, traveling into strong head winds, or while towing a heavy trailer), select TOW/HAUL mode or use the Electronic Range Select (ERS) shift control (refer to Electronic Range Select (ERS) Operation in this section for further information) to select a lower gear range. Under
these conditions, using a lower gear range will improve performance and extend transmission life by reducing excessive shifting and heat buildup."
History: The steep, hilly section I referenced was between Redding & Weed, CA. Once in my 2014 I exited in Weed only to have the transmission go into limp-home mode, maxing out at 15 mph. I went into a restaurant (checked the manual while there) and when I came out the tranny had reset. The dealer in Portland checked but couldn't find anything wrong. Same with a more thorough diagnosis at a dealer in Sacramento. The problem arises on the especially steep hilly stretch primarily because people often block the inside lane while driving 25-30 mph right next to the car in the outside lane. On long trips I don't have time for that (in a 65 mph zone) so look for the first opportunity to get through. This often happens repeatedly so the tranny is having to shift down to pass quickly and resume the speed limit repeatedly. It seemed that this punishing behavior over many miles is what triggered limp mode (in which the tranny is protecting itself from damage). I then read up on tow haul mode which was a suggested method (as was Electronic Speed Control as an alternative where you choose your gear on the steering wheel contols). I tried both on subsequent trips with my 2014 and now with my 2018. At 70mph in tow haul mode I checked my rpm's and then switched to ESC to determine which gear gave me that same rpm reading. It was consistently 6th. So tow haul gave me 6th gear at 70mph or I could choose 6th from the ESC to get the same result. Since I was doing 70 in 6th I assumed it would never go to a higher gear in tow-haul. Perhaps it would go to a higher gear after all if I continued to speed up (based on 69GWC's comment) but I have no wish to go over 70 in a 65 zone so I never tried it. BTW, both of these methods solve the problem. No more limp-home mode after many trips through the same area.
And I still enjoy heavy metal from the sixties and seventies.
I'm having trouble with some gas nozzles getting stuck in the filler neck at some gas stations. Has anyone else had that problem

I have. It took me 10 minutes the last time to "un-hinge" the pump from the inside top of the filler neck. Annoying.
