    Getting there
    Alright, so I got to get some windshield time in with my truck today, as I had about a 500 mile drive (took delivery yesterday) I’m in a 2 WD DC SR5. Has convenience package, premium audio, premium SR5, and air suspension. Build date of 5/22.

    I didn’t seem to have any of the issues that are/were being talked about on here. No abnormal wind noise, no weird messages, no hitting the bump stops in the rear.
    Over all it was an amazing, smooth drive. This truck is in another universe compared to my 2500 ram I came from, and it’s better than my 2018 tundra (which I loved). The power train on these trucks is incredible. The 10 speed is buttery smooth and the 3.4 delivers way more than that little engine should.

    All of that being said, there were just a couple of things I found lacking. The first is I hit some heavy rain on my drive, and I found the wipers at full speed to not be fast enough to clear the windshield in the heavy downpour. Related to that, the weather messed with the radar, and made the adaptive cruise inoperable, I guess until enough water had cleared from the sensor.
    I also had my dog with me, she was in the back seat. When she changed her position, the back seat sensor thought a kid had gotten out of their seatbelt. And lastly, just a little gripe, but I do wish when the screen is in car play, it also displayed the radio information.

    My mileage was above what I expected to see after reading some posts on here, so that was a pleasant surprise. Cruise was set at 82 for 90% of the trip
