[QUOTE="capnkirk52, post: 16640287, member: 13366"] I'm about to crack 13k on mine. The power is dope, the ride is better than previous gen, lots of cool things that make it nice but in my line of work stop and go to different pivots, shops, etc the trans interface with the electric motor is sometimes like a bucking bronco. Honestly it's kinda driving me crazy. The braking interface is driving me crazy too like when it switches from engine braking to electric brake to generate power for the battery. You have to apply much more brake force than is normally necessary and on dirt roads sometimes that means the ABS kicks in when it doesn't need to. It's weird and it's got worse as the miles grow. The gear shifter is weird and the auto running boards are so slow that I have to calibrate my life around them lol. The big screen is pretty nice but when listening to sirius and using the manual tune knob it shows you the station you're on instead of the song info which is stupid. The adaptive cruise pisses me off along with the anti collision warning that is overbearing. I didn't want trailer backup assist but it had to come with that package. The seats are dope, the steering is effortless, it puts 2 lengths on a 5star tuned 2018 3.5EB with ease, the 360 cameras are nice.
