Thank you for confirming the 911 assist feature does work and also glad to hear you’re ok.

Going crew cab short bed so it will fit the garage. Anyone know of a 2016 or 2017 leftover Race red, 302 A, chrome package near Indy?
From a fellow Hoosier and "Naptown" resident, glad you're alright. I'll keep an eye out. I drive by Capitol City every day. Assuming you're looking new and not used? There's tons of places around here as I'm sure you're aware. Keep an eye out at Hubler Ford down in Shelbyville. Short drive and they usually have a pretty full inventory. That's where I picked up my used '15. If you go there, let me know and I'll tell you to reference me. Maybe they'll throw me $50 for some beer money.

Warshed it today at the touchless. Man there was so much salt that the runoff was salty. Could use another run through to get the rest off.

I rinsed the truck off, installed Weathertech mud flaps, and updated to version 2.3 of Sync 3. I have no idea what 2.3 does that 2.2 didn't do, but it's in there now.

Got frozen door lock recall work done on all four doors. Should've knocked on wood when I voted on the frozen door lock poll. The day after I voted no problems to date my driver door froze open. 2 days later, both back doors locks were frozen in the locked position. Few days after, passenger door freezes open. Lol I’ve had this truck for years without any of this happening and it all ****s the bed within a week. Might have something to do with the thaw/deep freeze whiplash we’re getting hit with here in Ontario.

Gave it a good washing and finally installed my WeatherTech rear mud flaps. Looks good with all four corners on. Next up some new larger tires with a little more aggressive tread. Nitto Grappler G2's perhaps.

I put a screen protector on the factory nav screen.

Did it reduce the glare and prints? I did that on my Flex MFT and it was actually worse than without it. Finger prints showed like crazy and it caught too much light, wound up taking it off.
