Very happy customer here too, so far. AC blows VERY cold, love the ride, handling, looks, interior design, ergonomics, and comfort. No leaks, drips, or errors. FE is so-so (15.5-16.5 in mixed driving), but I've only got 4k miles on it and just had the first oil change, so I'm hoping to see...

No, but I did hit a wild turkey with my F150 a couple of years ago. Did about $1500 damage. Damned thing flapped right out in front of me when driving across a bridge in some bottoms. Used to be pretty rare to see a wild turkey...now they're jumping in front of our vehicles to commit suicide.

WRT Android Auto (same with Apple CarPlay), I agree with the PITA need to connect via a hardwire. That said, is that the mfg's fault or Android/Apple? Are there are other brands out there that allow bluetooth-only AA or CarPlay connectivity?

Ah, makes sense now. Good stuff.

Interesting. The only thing I can think of is that they are buying from another Top Tier retailer or distributor. The only other explanation is that Top Tier just hasn't updated its website. Either way, Rutters has a very detailed explanation about it on their website, so I'm inclined to...

I doubt they would tell you where they get their gas. Most likely, they are buying it from the "best value" distributor at the time of purchase. I'm not sure how they can claim to sell Top Tier if they aren't on Top Tier's list, unless the list isn't up to date, e.g. they *just* got approved...

The only way I know of is to go to that brand's website and see what they have to say, or just do some general internet searching. Most likely, if they even mention fuel, you'll get corporate speak about "quality" and how they "stand behind" what they sell. But afaik, Top Tier is the only...

Pretty much exactly what I do. Except our Top Tier 89 is *slightly* less than Costco 91. Just depends on where I'm at and what's most convenient. But I only use Top Tier brands regardless of 89 or 91 (Costco).

I've only used the Meguiar's once but I've seen and read a lot of good things about the TW product. I may pick up a bottle and try it too on the next application. For the price, there's really no risk.

Yes, this one has been killing it, too. Saw the comparison on several youtube videos and this one seems to hold up best torture tests. Only thing I've heard negative is that it can leave streaking if not applied correctly, but maybe they've changed up some things to correct that issue.

So you mean ones that can be controlled by the rear seat occupants. Because my Lariats definitely had heating and a/c vents in the back. Or I'm missing something.

My wife has a 2019 Rogue top-level trim (SL AWD). It's nice but after having the Ram, I've only been it a couple of times, mainly just to move it around or something. You're right about Nissan Connect...not even close to Uconnect. It's a decent little SUV, but not even on the same planet as...

So you seriously can't get rear seat a/c on the GM twins? Not even on the top-level trims? Wow.

I should add that I had it Simonized at the dealer so it already had some type of a ceramic (or similar) coat on it beforehand, so I didn't want to do anything too aggressive to take that off. Not sure if that made a huge difference but wanted to throw it in.

No serious surface prep. Just washed it and then wiped it down with some pre-moistened Armor All cleaning wipes. Made sure it was dry then applied this hybrid dry as well. They say do the first application with a wash, rinse, spray on the Meguiar's, then wipe it down. But I've watched some...
