Thus far satisfied with 2024 v6 Bigfoot 4WD Quadcab. Based on title of this thread, here are some gripes.
Disappointed the following not included in packages/options on my truck:
-4WD package should have included front tow hooks and the ability to choose without extra cost either a tire primarily for the street, like the one that came with my truck, or a more aggressive tire for occasional off road excursions (such as the BF Goodrich ALL-TERRAIN T/A KO2). The more aggressive tire should not include an extra charge, as this is a 4WD vehicle.
-Level B Equipment Group (a hefty $3,845) should include a locking fuel filler door and the feature that allows one with key fob in pocket to unlock door by touching door handle
-Vinyl seat covers should be a choice for Bigfoot
-Rear seat of Quadcab does not have cup holders (not a big deal for my hunting dogs but likely a minor annoyance for humans relegated to the back seat.)
-cargo bed does not have enclosed storage area alongside wheel wells
-a hardcopy owner’s manual would be appreciated
-covers for the rear stake pockets would probably cost Stellantis less than 25 cents to include as standard equipment. (These exposed stake pockets (probably rarely if ever used) allow rain and carwash water into cargo bed.)
-12 volt outlet for accessories such as Gps should be deactivated when engine shut off. (I’m aware that some members rearrange fuses to correct this, but having contorted myself attempting to work on rearranging fuses in a 2013 Avalon, I’ll pass.)The default setting for the accessory outlet should be linked to ignition switch. Otherwise someone in a remote area could end up with a dead battery because an item, unbeknownst to the owner, was draining the battery 24/7.
-Not fond of the Event Data Recorder’s intrusion of our privacy and the ability of Stellantis to use that data for profit (such as marketing the information to insurance companies (our driving characteristics) and other enterprises. The vast majority of auto manufacturers do this now, but hopefully consumers will wake up and demand that the collection and dissemination of this personal information cease.
