Things I don’t like. After 400 miles.

[capital_M]

A lot of great things to say about the truck but definitely a few things I that are bothering me already.

1. No auto hold. I’ve had numerous vehicles with an auto hold function when stopping. I’m used to taking my foot off the brake at every stop light. Is this a truck thing? To omit an auto hold?

2. No rear view camera lane markers in reverse. Lot of great cameras angles but this truck is so big. Makes it challenging to park. I’ve always found lane markers useful in my previous vehicles.

3. I’m coming from a bmw 330 and we also have an x5 with the b58 inline 6 twin turbo.
I know a lot of people have compared these engines but this ram inline 6 is definitely not as refined as the bmw. Overall very smooth but few instances of a little jerkiness in lower gears.

4. And my biggest gripe: the font is too small!
In Apple CarPlay in order to switch between maps and Spotify icons it’s almost impossible. The time display on the center screen is tiny. The speed limit display on the main navigation screen is almost indistinguishable. Please someone tell me there is an option to make the font bigger or else I need some glasses.

Otherwise it’s a really nice truck

The back up camera lane markers have to be a setting in the options because others ram trucks have them.

Best ram got is hill assist that won’t let you roll back and will hold the brake.. otherwise you gotta get a tazer DT and that thing can do so many awesome things.

For your item 2, go to Vehicle > Settings > Camera, then select Surround View Camera Guidelines. I have the guidelines while using the 'Sur. Cam' and the 'Rear View Cam' features while in reverse.

My past few vehicles had it and it’s surprisingly useful.. especially if you need to reach for something in the back seat at the light.

I guess you'll just have to shift into Park to do that now in this truck. How will we ever survive without all of these bells and whistles.

Completely unacceptable. God forbid I’m inconvenienced

100%…though, I’ve not missed auto hold.

That center screen is large, but the vertical orientation means everything gets compressed into two landscape displays, each being very small.

Hoping the settings can get us “lane markers”. I’m hopeful, as I saw forward track markers on the Doug Demuro RHO video review. Haven’t found that setting/view yet.

Auto HOLD is a feature that can he changed in the vehicle settings app. via center touchscreen.

Great review. I hope someday I can make one if I ever get my truck

I just checked in Google, I have Android Auto, but I think you can go into your Apple carplay on your phone and change the "appearance." In there is font size. Good luck. Let us know.

I’ll try it out.

This is what the native nav screen looks like:

 

[D&Sadventure]

Does it allow you to drag and pull that speed limit sign to the upper left side of the screen?
