From the forum posts here, it looks like the transmission issues happen early in terms of mileage. So I don’t think the issues are fluid related. Unless a trend emerges involving fluid related issues, I will stick to the standard maintenance schedule.

I get it. I trade frequently also (37 vehicles owned in 35 years). I still own three of them. I have only traded down once due to priorities, but I know it can happen.

I have owned my 2019 stock 802A truck less than two months and got the update screen about a month ago. I tried various techniques for about a week to do the update via WIFI with no success. I completed the update via USB and the update screen went away.

I didn’t order my truck, but it came with the factory spray-in liner. After having it a few months now, I can say I wouldn’t recommend ordering the factory spray-in as LineX is thicker and grips better. The factory spray-in is “good enough” and I won’t upgrade until it fails. As I got $2500...

I am leaving mine on. That way I know when the next update comes out.

I was recently offered a buyback or replacement from FCA. For me, a buyback was the better option. There is no price negotiation with a replacement, even if local dealers are offering discounts or if the manufacturer is offering rebates to the public. It is a direct MSRP to MSRP exchange with...

It was one of the steps while uploading the file to the USB. I am on my phone with no access to my Mac that I used for the upload so I can’t remember the exact issue. I do remember I erased and formatted the USB, downloaded the file again, unzipped, moved the .exe file out of the folder but...

I would have Recaros installed before I traded trucks to get them.

I had to do the USB update twice because I missed a step. The warning went away.

5K for 3 years of coverage for something that might happen? I would invest the 5K or at least put it in an interest bearing account.

I lemoned a 2018 Wrangler JLU to get the Raptor. The Gladiator is based on the same platform. I recommend going over to the JL forums and read about all of the issues they are having. Also, the factory brags about how many they can make in a shift, setting records. IMHO, they are putting...

I had a 2007 and a 2017 Power Wagon. They are great trucks but not nearly as fun to drive on the road as the Raptor. I can’t say anything about off-road as I haven’t had any off-road fun in the Raptor yet. I have only had it a little over a month.

I am with you on everything except the lesbian part. All the ones I have known and currently know drive Subarus or Jeep Wranglers.
