But what are you going to power it with? The 110V outlet can't even power a 2 cup coffee pot.. So I have to use the instant,, but at least it's the freeze dried stuff..

I wish this thing would actually just do similar to tesla and just keep the truck in the lane, instead of just assisting lmao.
I like but I hate it at the same time, I hate when I gotta change lanes quickly or something and forget signals and its fighting me to stay in the lane...
I keep it off most of the time to be honest =/

Probably good I don't have that.

I drink coffee for your safety. My wife figured that out after we had been dating for 2 months.

Jeez, I did not even think of that! I ALMOST bought a truck with LKA but it had a "Do Not" recall order on it. You just made me glad. Imagine trying to change lanes under emergency conditions because the idiot in front of you got into something and having LKA fight you. .

It does not really fight you at all. There is no issue with changing lanes even with it on, especially if it was a hard turn maneuver. You would get the wheel shake and thats it.

I remain skeptical. A shake when I am in the middle of reacting to something stupid so I don't get involved is NOT going to make MY reactions better. So I stay glad I did not get LKA

It's really not intrusive if you are really holding on to the steering wheel. Emergency maneuvers are not an issue.

The shake is only if you have it on Alert Mode.

If you can't overpower the LKA system, even on maximum, then you probably don't possess the physical strength to get into the truck in the first place. It is a total non-issue. It's a good system.

Too right! The great thing about these trucks is the incredible variety of choices. There's something for everyone!
