I have Max Tow. I think you need Tow or Max Tow to get selectshift. The transmission itself is the same. The select button is the only difference afaik.

Not sure about yours but on mine there is this nifty little 3 way switch on the light, to the right it's switched on, in the middle, its on with the doors open and all the way to the left, it's off when doors open.

Must be a running change. Mine is one the last 2011s, delivered the day before I bought it, on Oct 22/11.

I noticed that one of the screens on the display, when hitting the OK button in the video showed Manufacture Date. I wonder if that was for the Truck or something else?

Facepalm indeed.

This damn weather fluctuation does a number on my coordination. Great place to live when you get weather affected migraines

Damn, i noticed that too. I have only had to hit + on my shifter once and the gears stay there forever, even after the truck has been off. My dad's Limited was a november/10 build and you have to press the + each time to get the gears to show. Weird

Also, one of the gauges in engineering test mode is a live volt meter

Feature that I'm sure everyone knows but it took me a month or two to find - On the regular radio with SYNC, you can push phone and then dial a number using the radio presets. Can also push the phone button twice and then OK to redial the last number.

The lights turn of in 10 mins.
I burnt my light switch n the lights were ON all the time.

Thats how i figured it out.

I am amazed at the amount of people who don't read their owners manual. A good 80% of the info in this thread I have already read in my manual.

In this picture, on the dash just below the instrument cluster, beside the small storage cubby, there is a grill. Does anyone know what this is for?
