Put 170 miles on today, mostly highway with some stops small towns along the way. Here are a few things I noticed.
Less body roll on sharp turns on the off and on ramps. Very stable and although I didn't push it I went into them the way I normally do and it felt somewhat weird not having that lean into the curves.
Moderately windy today. Hard to judge with just one day of driving but the woosh and push of wind felt passing semis or being passed was almost nill. I need more driving time to see if that was freak of nature.
Pandora- If I understand it right you need your phone app on and it drives off your phone. Not sure why if I have wifi in the truck... but okay, I can deal with that. What was weird that although I subscribe to Pandora One, it was playing advertisements like the free version when played on intelelink.
Phone- Used the bluetooth a lot with my iphone 6. Clear, good connections, but for some reason on one leg of the trip it kept getting confused hands free verses not on the intelelink. After power off and next leg, it was normal.
Driving south, I had a whistling noise somewhere outside on right side of truck. Northbound, no noise. Folded mirrors in while driving, no effect on noise. Faint, but there.
Adaptive Cruise Control worked very well. Much better than I thought. If no vehicle in front is present, it reverts to set speed. If I am cruising in right lane at 70, and vehicle in front slows to 65, it slows to 65 and maintains distance. Change to left lane, fires back up to 70 without doing anything.
Overall, incredibly smooth and quite ride. Very comfortable. Tomorrows mission is to tweak stereo sound in and play with navigation.
