Yea factory nav sucks, my phone is always up to date and never have to pay to have updated maps(which are always outdated when they come out). With AA and CarPlay they are projected onto the big screen in my truck so I never have to look at my phone while driving.
I have a 14‘ Edge as well and the old sync is a pain. UConnect is a better technology however I don’t know what the improved sync Is like. Surely is better after 6 years and 2 versions.
Would never happen unless they jack up the price even more...smh. Right now their truck interiors look like they were designed by a 6 year old lol
That's a good point. It seems like FCA is afraid to venture out and try to redesign anything...they do a good job improving what they have already had for a while but when it comes to innovation the only thing they have done recently is introduce Etorque...which I like for sure though....another point on that is them improving the Rebel and turning it into the TRX....a good idea but still following suit on the improving upon what already more or less exists...hope that makes sense lol
Not even close man....have you been inside of a 2013 Sierra or Silverado? That was almost luxery to me compared to the newer ones. That was the last time GM had a decent interior in ANY of their trucks.
Lol you have a point. But I say designed by a 6 year old because it isn't really thought out well. I test drove a 2020 trailboss custom and a regular LT Sikverado...and the seats were awkward angles no matter how I adjusted them...the radio controls in the dash were set up like something from a 1999 Kia, I had to stick my arm through the steering wheel just to adjust the trip info or look at Any other info on the cluster screen. Total nightmare. Worst interior ever. I could care less about luxery but there was NO practicality to the way the interior was set up.You said "the interior was designed by 6 year olds". That to me implies things like "no rhyme or reason", "not thought out", "features missing" etc etc. That's NOT the problem with the GM interiors. It is very well layed out, has pretty much feature parity with all the others, and is very easy to use.
What's missing from their interior is luxury. The 12 inch screen is luxurious compared to the 8 inch, but the 8 inch works just as well (actually it works better, IMHO). Their trailering and camera tech is unrivaled. They have HUD (no other truck does) etc. They do miss the panoramic sun roof, but again, that's more an element of luxury vs feature. Same with air ride; it's a more luxurious ride.
So I'm not really arguing against you, just suggesting that your "designed by 6 year olds" does not really describe the issue that well. I'll shut up now
I've been thinking about that too, the Ram has an Aluminum hood and tailgate. I cant help but wonder if it will bubble. The same premature oxidation of the Aluminum on Fords also happened to Volvo
That was because of dissimilar metals. I owned a couple of Mustangs. It was aluminum attached to a steel frame. Those issues were from over 10 years ago now.
That’s a fair point. Aside from some seat wear, my 2003 GMC still looked pretty much new when I sold it in late 2018. Of course, all automakers used more “hard surfaces“ back then.
