Intelligent Access

[Dellis777]

Good morning everyone,

I wanted to get some feedback from some gen 3 owners on the intelligent access door handles. I have been driving a gen 2 for 5 years and when I lock my truck you just have to touch the black button on the handle and the trucks locks. The buttons or touch sensors whatever you want to call them are very responsive. Recently got a Gen 3 R and these things are very sluggish and sometimes do not work at all, the contrast between the two is drastic. Sometimes its just easier for me to get my keys out of my pocket and hit the lock button. Is anyone else experiencing this? Is this how they are now or is something up with my truck?

Thanks everyone

You have to touch the handle longer on the 3's. I noticed the same thing compared to the 2.

Yup

Intelligent Door Lock Finicky

Does anyone else have issues with their driver’s and passenger’s doors’ intelligent lock button? On my Gen 2 it worked flawlessly every time and was pretty sensitive, I barely had to nudge it for the doors to lock. On my Gen 3 I always have to try twice, and have to completely and deliberately...

I have a question. If you use the lock button on the door, does that prevent the conversation that allows a hacker to steal your code?

I just posted a thread on this, mine is the same, the Gen 2 was better in this regard for sure.

Now I hold my finger there for a full second and it works much better, but still not 100%. Every now and then I have to press it a second time. The Gen 3 is an outstanding truck and I have zero regrets upgrading, but I feel the electronics are a bit buggier than the Gen 2.

I leave the key in my truck and lock/unlock with the app or door keypad. Bottom two buttons to lock the truck with the key in it. I hate having stuff in my pockets...

Makes it hard to play pocket pool?

2 questions for ya…1) do you park outside & 2) what parts of PA do you frequent?

You certainly don't want any extra bulges when you saunter into Starbucks in skintight pants.

I drove big trucks all my life; can't be having any false advertisement.
