I believe this is indicating that your tailgate is open. Could be wrong, though.

Mine shows a different version of that graphic when the tailgate is down. I have the center red splash on the evic and that icon of the truck also shows the tailgate down by an extended red block behind the truck like this

That looks like a horror movie demon truck that eats people with it’s possessed tailgate mouth

You would think so, however, based on other threads on the subject, The dealer is NOT likely to turn it on for you. It seems that Stelantis has chosen to only activate it when specific (and unrelated) options are purchased. Last I have seen, no one has been able to get it activated at a dealer, though there may be a rare instance I am not aware of. I activated mine (Laramie Level A) with AlfaOBD, but also used it to change tire size, switch DRL location, and a couple other things. Worth the cost in my opinion.
Others have reported issues with parksense when making the tire size adjustment. I haven't done it just for this reason. Any issues for you with parksense after changing tire size?

I thought they were kind of cool when they first came out, but that wore off quickly after seeing in person. And their performance was subpar from what was initially suggested. More of a cruiser without a lot of utility.
It’s just a fun unique vehicle. I always wanted one. Got a good deal on it. 27k miles. I’ll probably drive it for the summer and sell it in the fall.

It seems the issues are related to tire size adjustments of 35" or bigger. My tires are the same size as yours and I haven't had any problems with ParkSense.

There are a couple I see frequently at local car shows. One yellow and one red. I know the look they were going for with the 50s Chevy truck. And they almost got it right. But it ended up looking like a stretched VW Beetle truck.

Yes and no. When I first made the change, I went with the actual reported tire size (in mm) and the parksense no longer worked. However, the measurement was also not accurate and the speedo was off. I ended up reducing 10mm at a time until the parksense worked again, then increased 1mm at a time until it stopped working. Finally reduced it 1mm and have been problem free ever since. I got lucky and my speedo is perfect at all speeds (verified with GPS). If I got any larger than my 35's, I would not be able to calibrate with complete accuracy. Stay under 35's and there is no issue with parksense.

I didn't see a place to change the lines from dynamic to static.

In the uconnect vehicle settings menu under “SAFETY/DRIVING ASSISTANCE” when you go into the park view camera settings you should see a couple choices:

I changed the oil too. Literally didn’t spill a drop! I used a quart sized ziploc for the oil filter

For whatever reason this was the smoothest the oil change had ever gone.

I installed a Fumoto oil drain valve this time so hopefully next time is even easier.
They have 5 different ones for my rig. which one did you install?

A Ziplock bag does indeed make things much much better for removal, but also a PITA. Once oil gets on the filter from unscrewing, and you trying to turn with the bag over it...its like slick vs slick...getting a grip is not easy...but still do-able

This is great info. Thanks for sharing.

I put in LED replacement bulbs from LASFIT in my 2019 Big Horn to replace the halogens. Did low beam high beam and fog lights. I did the fog lights last weekend and the difference was amazing! So I picked up the set of High/Low beams and did them last night. I didn't think I could get my hands in there but I did it. Amazing difference!
