Road Trip

[405Forged]

Got the truck this last weekend from MD, drove a total of 1200 miles and some change over Saturday, Sunday and Monday.

The auto drive feature is alright, used it about 600 miles total each time was about half a tank of fuel worth. For what it does it does pretty good. However, it is sub par to GM Super Cruise with their auto lane change feature. I will be curious to see what the cost difference is between this and GM.

Fuel mileage varies greatly with driving conditions. It started out 10.9mpg for the first few hundred miles, then went to 12.6. After about 800 miles I was averaging 14.9. So overall it’s not bad how the truck is setup. This is all with average speeds between 70-85mph.

Gauge display is lacking. Is there any possible way to change what you can see for gauges on the evic? It would be nice to not have to go to the performance pages to see the boost pressure. I would like to see the ability to change up the gauges on the dash. Maybe I missed it and there is a way to change these around.

The suspension setup I have decided to run is,
Steering: Street
Stability: Street
Suspension: Baja
Transmission: Street
Paddles: On

After driving on different road types in Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas and finally Oklahoma I think this setup works the best for me. I’m sure that it will change some as I drive more and more. I wished that the driving mode was able to be saved to the driver profile.

I added the rough country bed cover, GoRhino RB30, mudflaps from a link in a post on the forum, battery tender, screen protector for radio, blend mount for radar detector and also the wire adaptor for the power from mirror for radar as well. Tinted windows to 5% all around with visor strip on the front too.

The horrible exhaust drone on the 1st to 2nd shift at low rpm with the trans in street mode drove me nuts. It sounded like a sick, pathetic engine. Trans in sport keeps the rpm’s higher & makes the truck all around more drivable, imho.

Glad to see you made it home, I also got mine from MD just got the update that it's built so now waiting on shipping, I was going to drive it back to California but after hearing all the news about dead batteries I think I'm just going to bite the bullet and have to shipped

I use the same setup. Set it up like that in Auto mode and found it stays in memory.

I live in So Cal and bought mine from MD as well. Had it shipped a few weeks ago. Super easy. I used Shipwit, which used West Express who is the physical trucking service. These guys we great and they are based in So Cal. They picked up the truck and delivered on the day promised first thing in the morning.

Good luck on these OKLAHOMA roads my friend... its a mess out here... the truck handles things so damn well though especially once you dial in a custom mode you like. I run the same set up as you.
