What Else Can You Do While Driving That Surprised You?

[riccnick]

With a little practice, picking your nose AND passing gas seems possible...

Dropping the tailgate while on the road at speed sounds almost like some James Bond move!

I guess it all would depend on what you have pre-loaded on your bed!

I'm thinking a Phalanx Canon with shells in a neat belt stack aimed backwards.....you know....for those tailgaters

It works at 75, too. The only question in my mind at the time was - would they extend at that speed?
I'm happy to report they did.

Oh. And that parking brake? Scary thing.

Yes Yes

We know you can engage the parking brake, thanks to @mike_ct .

Last night while driving home I confirmed you can retract your folding mirrors at 55. I guess I can see a reason for needing to do that but what if you accidentally tapped that button in traffic? It was a bit disconcerting.

I also meant to try the tailgate release at speed but forgot that in my mirror excitement. I think I can argue the merits of dropping it both ways.

Any others?

I did this while test driving another ram that sold before I could get back there. The sales guy was oh you can do that and then I pushed it again and they extended.. He was shocked..

I was under the impression they were phasing phalanx out and replacing it with RAM.

 

[edrclark]

Although firing a RAM from the bed of the truck might screw up your back window a bit. I wonder what the recoil is like on the phalanx

 

[edrclark]

And that is way off topic

 

[Jackham]

Yes but pertinent...just because.

Oh the possibilities here! Just be sure to set the adaptive cruise before trying anything new, for safety sake.

What happens when you shift out of D at 55mph?

I think you should try it for us - and then tell us what the foxtrot happens.

It's time to take one for the team and report back.

I actually did use to shift from D to N on an old Daytona in college going down hills. Hypermiling. I assumed there was something blocking it from going into reverse from N at highway speeds. Lol, never went too far to check.
