Guess you have to be very close to the truck… what’s the point of this ?ā€ā™‚

How close were you? I was able to show someone the feature and I was about 80 ft away.

I guess it would be useful for standing outside the truck and adjusting the height to clear an obstacle in off-road mode?

what I want to know is…can we make it dance?

Got some unexpected features with this update on my Beast. Couldn’t turn on heating remotely this morning then got in to the rear left motor disabled. Did the update last night. Appointment scheduled for Monday. Drove ok to work. Reboot had no effect.

When you get into the controls, you need to swipe up from the bottom to see the additional controls. Took me a bit to find it too.
Thanks for the tip! They could have made it more noticable. The steps I read about it just say open the app go to controls and adjust the ride height. They could have mentioned swipe up from the bottom.

Yeah. That was really helpful. There are some other cool and important things on that screen like automatic shutoff of the bed plugs and automatic home PowerShare backup.
thanks for pointing it out.

what do you have to do to activate the new alarm/warning? I hit the door button, nothing. rocked the truck, nothing. tried the tailgate and tonneau cover, nothing.

Very cool update.

steering to me in low speed maneuvering in parking lot/driveway seems a bit ā€˜smoother’

or I could be imagining things …

Yeah I don’t like the new steering… and there is no option to turn it off.

I would skip this update
