Feel like I'm pirating the thread, but since you asked. Useless pocket on the dash used to be the 120V inverter and where the inverter was a 12V I used for my 2 way. Gone and where the only one is leaves wires in the way and I can't close the compartment.
Guess I don’t get what you mean.
Climate control didn't require the touch screen and I could switch air pattern without looking. Now involves changing screens, selecting pattern then going back to what I want up.
Wish I woulda played more with all that but I didn’t. But after watching a video I found on YouTube, I see what you mean. Just have to familiarize myself with the change.
Nav used to track actual speed next to speed limit and turned red as a visual if you were speeding. Feature removed.
Hmm. Guess that wouldn’t be a concern to me since my radar detector already does that...lol.
I know, this is about you, I’m just saying it wouldn’t matter to me.
Sat radio used to have a playlist option and fwd and rwd were on the steering wheel control in replay mode. Feature removed.
Even with the rocker buttons on the back of the steering wheel? That’s strange.
Used to watch dvds waiting for the ferry and on standby at job sites. Feature removed. Bigger screen, but no video playback.
So, the in-dash CD player in your older truck would play DVD’s? Hmm. Does your Limited have the optional disc player in the lower compartment of the console? I may not even have to be concerned at all about this since I’m going to be ordering my truck with out the CD player. I haven’t played a CD in probably 10 years. Lol. All my music is on my iPhone. Which brings me to my next assumption, I wonder if since the new 2018’s are android and apple car play compatible, if you can play videos on the screen from your phone? I’ll have to remember to ask the salesman that when I finally get to order my truck.
I plan to get a console vault is primarily why I don’t want the disc player... that, and since cd’s are useless to me. Lol.
Music loaded into hard drive so I didn't have to leave anything in the vehicle. Feature removed.
I would think that with the advancement of larger hard drives on smartphones these days- my iPhone 7 has a 128-gig hard drive on it with over 10,000 songs at my disposal, that most people wouldn’t need to store their music in a hard drive that’s built into their vehicle. Technology advances with time and with what the general consumer would need so, if the general population doesn’t need this feature of uploading music files to their vehicle, the manufacturer is no longer going to invest in something that they would feel is unnecessary.
Auto wipers were on the knob much like the headlights. Now auto overrides everything regardless of any manual settings and it takes multiple menus and a scroll down to select it on and off.
Maybe they figured it wasn’t needed. Is it possible that the rain-sensitive wipers on the 2017’s and 2018’s work better than on the 2011’s? It might also be the reason why the switch to turn that off is within the unconnect screen and not on the switch itself because possibly the older system didn’t support it, maybe? I’m just guessing. lol.
Shifter knob, which I'm not fond of is pretty low on my annoyance list.
Yeah like I said in my last post, I didn’t think I’d be crazy about it either but I actually liked it. lol. It’s actually a lot nicer in my opinion having that knob because with the addition of the button-shifter now, you don’t even have to mess with the rotary shifter anymore unless your taking it out of or putting in Park.
Also screen and switches in the centre used to be surrounded by what I thought was a good looking wood grain. Now cheap plastic on a premium truck.
That’s funny, they all claim it’s real wood...[emoji848]
Oh well, I know that brown, wood-looking paneling crap on the dash and on my door panels in my 08 Laramie is fake so, I really couldn’t care less I guess. Lol.
I could go on, but I think I've said enough.
Sounds to me like your not happy with your truck. Seems to me it’s probably time to get rid of it and get what you want. [emoji41]
Actually 1 more. Rear seat light was a tap light for people in the back seat. Now only controlled from the front and everything has to come on.
Another thing I didn’t mess with but that sucks if that is continued on the ‘18 models.
But look, I’m not ******* you at all for your opinions. If these are things you clearly dislike, then there’s nothing wrong with that. I’m just only offering my own justification for benefit to myself. Maybe on a few things but all in all for the most part this post isn’t a rebuttal...lol.
