Comor me on the mixed feelings
On the one hand in traffic I loved it, Until summer kicked in (Live in Houston), and I rather burn fuel sitting and keep my AC going than not, so for the next 5-6 months its going to be deactivated everytime I get in, But when it's nice out I don't mind it...
I can believe it, since breaking 12K miles my MPG highway has been steadily creeping, both ways to corpus and back 75MPH 16.5 MPG, 18 at 70.
Still drops to 14.6 in town though once you do all the starting and stopping
Think my truck is breaking in finally, I drive at minimum 904 miles a month just running back and forth to work and that's all highway/freeway between Houston and Corpus, it's not too far off what my 4.10 geared F150 Tremor was.
Are you putting the truck in park?
Stupid question I know but theres been a few times I've derped out and the truck will auto swap the knob to park and stay in ACC

Some quotes that stuck out to me
"Acevedo said FCA is also addressing a market reality with its incentives. Some consumers who want a truck are...
Or, How many excuses can a GM spokesman come up with, blaming everything BUT their half assed truck.

Ha, Ha Aside,
That is a neat commercial, I'm a sucker for any company that goes back to the Heritage advertising, Like when Dodge had those Dodge Brother's Commercials with Horace and John
Mine has a better distance than my 14 F150 did, (Can't comment on the mustang since my stang was a manual)
it takes a little longer though for some reason but the "dealer' told me it's doing a system check, rather thats true or not I don't know, but it def takes 2 seconds longer to remote...
