Have idea what truck you have, but this is not normal and there is no adjustment I have ever seen.

Everything in your post seems perfectly normal. Stop overthinking and just drive.

It's not a fault light. I just tells you the automatic braking is off. The owners manual describes conditions in which automatic braking will be off. I suspect whatever "test" you are performing to determine whether or not it's working is where the flaw lies.

Strange you say this happened in NM. Each winter through NM to visit relatives in Tucson AZ. In my last 2 trucks I have lost my compass and GPS almost continuously when traveling between Alamogordo and Las Cruces. It happens again when I travel back home. I've always written in off to...

Road signs are always pretty good about warning of obstacles ahead, but Waze was horrible at it. It continues to warn you about temporary issues, like a crash or abandoned car, very long after the issue has been resolved and that makes it worthless.

Yes and it's exactly this kind of annoyance that drove me to remove Waze from my phone more than a year ago. It kept imagining and warning of obstacles that did not exist.

Most alerts I get accompany a popup message but there are 2 or 3 I get than receive no popup message. One of them is a warning about speed camera's ahead. You can turn most of the alerts off in the settings, and I have, but I'm still getting one occasionally as I approach an intersection that...

Yes. Several solutions have existed for a century and millions of people who live in showy climates rely on one or the other. 1. You run a snow tire for a few months during the peak of winter then switch back to your street tires during the rest of the year. Not as common as it was in the...

You probably have good reason to be concerned. I purchased my current Ram based on my experience with 3 previous Rams. However, it's been one electronic glitch after another since it was new. I've already had it in for more warranty repairs that I did with all my previous Ram's combined...

If it runs and starts perfectly, I don't believe you have an issue to resolve, but not overanalyzing what the volt meter is doing might be a start.

Simple, they just run over more people in the past. Perhaps some have figured that adding safety features to the tools we use is far more likely to improve safety than trying to use magic to cure normal flawed human behavior.

It's important enough that federal law requires the feature on all cars by 2029. There is no doubt it saves lives.

Food for thought... Have you considered just using the truck as is even if the inside of the bed gets a little dinged and scratched? I think a dinged and scratched plastic drop-in bed liner looks much worse that a factory painted bed that is dinged and scratched. Might be better to wait...

I don't think there is a way to test it without risking injury or damage. It also only works above 3 mph so if you are slowly creeping up on an object to see if it will automatically brake it won't. Just realized there may be a way to test it without risk of damage or injury. You could place...

Nostalgia often causes people to perceive old stuff is better than new stuff but reality is often the exact opposite. My first car was a 70 Barracuda with stock 383 magnum and the 2019 V6 Chevy Impala I sold last year would blow it away every day as would many common modern day 4 door V6...

Based on your priorities you should run a highway tire most of the year and switch to a snow and ice tire for winter. AT tires really don't make a better snow tire than a highway tread. Either tread design can be good or bad in the snow. Snow tires are made from a softer rubber compound that...

Not sure why you responded to me since all you did is say exactly what I said. My "I don't believe this" comment was directed toward the claim I quoted that someone got the same milage from an AT tire as they did a HT tire.

It works but if you need to do it to avoid a thud a better option might be to get the malfunction fixed. My last 2 Rams have MDS and I've never felt it engage or disengage.

I don't believe this. The more aggressive thread alone will cost you fuel economy. "In fact, 35-50 percent of the rolling resistance can be attributed to the treads. The shallower the tread pattern, the more fuel-efficient the tires are as there is less resistance."

I'm a slow learner and, except for my last 2 trucks, I would switch to AT tires every time I wore out my factory tires. Took me a while to figure out the only thing AT tires gave me was a cut in fuel economy of about 2 MPG and a worse ride quality.
