I don't know if it's been mentioned but to lock the rear axle on a 4x4 you pull out on the 4x4 selector switch.

I have a Lariat with the 502A package. When I get out of the truck, the driver's seat moves out of the way (I like this feature) and I had to set this up in the settings.
When I test drove a Platinum, I noticed the steering wheel also moved out of the way when I turned the truck off. Is there a 'trick' to make the steering wheel move also? I'm only on like page 190 in the owners manual and don't recall reading that yet.
TIA...

Not sure with the Lariat but KR also does both.

The Lariat does this as well. Perhaps there is a setting for it. Or you have the steering wheel fully forward in your memory settings.

Does anyone have a solution for this years coin holder? I'd settle for a flat piece of plastic.
I forget who but someone makes a pretty cool cell phone holder for that exact area. I think it's in the recent thread about cell phone holders. On my cell phone or I'd link it for you.

I'd love a link to this later if you can find it or if someone else knows has this. I've seen it done on 2014 and earlier models but with the 2015, the design of the coins holder/or 4x4 instrument is now rectangle and not a circle like yrs past.

I have the steering wheel as high as it will go but it can be retracted in toward the dash more... Does it go in and up?

Mine comes out and down when I get in it (saved setting), and it goes in and up when I shut it off. Depending on where you have it saved to, it might not have any more room to go up and in.

I had a 2015 Lariat 502A before I got the KR and it did both as well.

well there is plenty of room for it to go in which is why I'm asking. I will play around with it a little more but there isn't a setting just for the steering wheel that I can find.

Have you played with the power steering wheel adjustment button on the left side of the steering wheel? It adjust up-down and in-out.
