Hey guys, I know that this might spud weird a little, but we still have mirrors on our trucks... Unless you went ahead with a mirrorectomy!?! I know that the first few days, I was only watching that 47" LED screen on the dash when I was putting it on reverse. You'll get use to it!! Just saying...

I use the mirrors 90%... the camera for me is only for judging when to stop backing up so I don't drive over the VW bug or mini-cooper I'm parking in front of...

Of course, we have SUCH a much better world now LOL

I backed over a road construction sign tonight in the dark while watching the backup camera and mirrors. I'm suddenly thinking that the cat who mounted HID reverse lights is onto something.

No beepers? a tall piece of grass seems to set mine off, lol! Stock reverse lights are severely lacking though. My led tailgate lightbar helps a little, but due to mounting location it doesnt throw as much light as it could as most is blocked by the bumper. Im not sure what post you are referring to but i saw one with some low profile led reverse lights under the bumper that looked pretty slick. Might add them myself someday if I get bored enough.

Courtesy flush...I mean wipe! Useless

Reflector on front of side mirror. This should be a blinker, like the back, from the factory.

As for the traction control. Onmy 2011, I can turn it off ( all of it ) by holding the button down. I stays off over 35, I know because I felt like lighting them up on my road once and the little light stayed on till I got home. Usually go 50 on my road.

So it must be different for the 2011. I would think however, the programming could be updated somehow. Its all the same equipment, just a different program.

I don't know about useless rather than design flaw, but I think the folding mirror option should have the mirrors fold out when you remote start the truck instead of trying to adjust against the door.....
