The Rhino Has Landed

[MattH89]

Look what just arrived. Of course we got an ice storm last night and it's 20 degrees and blowing 40.

Poor driver was slipping and sliding trying to walk around and unhook the wheels.

Truck is encased in ice, but tucked in the barn to thaw. Looking forward to playing with the 1.8million buttons and driving it once I have a lesser chance of putting it in a tree.

Had a CEL on the initial start when he was unloading but power cycled a few times moving vehicles around and it hasn't come back.

Congrats! I lost my blind spot monitors last night after touching the side mirror extend button on accident. Restart seems to self-correct much of the electronic gremlins.

Congrats, Matt!

I grin like the Cheshire Cat after smoking a Snoop-Dog-Level blunt, every time I get in the truck...

Love this damn truck!

Got a half chub just looking at it backed into the barn as I closed the door. Driving it might get downright saucy.

Thats good news! Save the "full" for when you hit the offroad or do a WOT run (after break-in). It's like popping a blue pill, and if with your gal, the seats fold down almost flat, throw on some music, kick on the massager for her and you are down right romantic and off to the races.

This is the only time the Raptor folding shifter would come in handy. LOL!

CONGRATS! Tough to tell in that light, is it white or billet silver?

It's the silver. I tried to change my order to granite back in August and it was rejected. Seeing the silver in person I couldn't be more thankful that it was rejected. Love the contrast with the black.

Ditto!

Silver is so underrated and I’m glad that’s the case, we standout more

My current Rebel is silver and I've loved it the last 6 years. RHO will be silver too haha.

Congrats!!! Billet Silver is the color of our last 1500 and loved it too, especially when clean.

Cograts @MattH89 !! Saw the silver at the TX State Fair and at the time was kicking myself picking Hydro Blue over the silver thinking it would be a boring color. When Forged Blue came out, made the change request and was one of the lucky ones and got accepted!!! Quick question for you...were you the last on the delivery route? How many trucks were shipped including yours? Mind sharing the cost?

CEL is common for new vehicles that have been repeatedly started & shut down without warming up. Hopefully doesn’t return. Just try to avoid starting, then shutting down without taking it out & getting everything up to temperature.

If any rough idle, don’t try to clear it by revving or beating on it. Get it to the dealer ASAP.

Hey I don't know how many other vehicles were on the trailer but yes I must've been last. I paid $1050 for about 1250 miles. Truck was picked up Monday morning and was at my house Thursday afternoon

 

[MattH89]

After my first 100 miles I have to say this truck exceeds every expectation I had. Following this forum for the past several months I had a lot of anxiety that this thing was going to detonate or Christmas tree immediately. That all went away after about 10 minutes of driving.

There is no singular aspect in which my 2022 Denali 6.2 can compete (except MPG). The fit, finish, power (even keeping my foot out for break in), technology, comfort of ride soaking up Michigan potholes like nothing. I could go on and on but Ram did the damn thing when they built this.

The only thing I need to play with is the digital rear view mirror. My eyes kept seeing the reflection underneath it and couldn't focus on the digital image. I think I found the settings in the manual to test out today.

 

[MattH89]

Carvana came to pick up the Denali today. I never realized how much of a grandpa truck it was until they were side by side.

I will miss it though. 50,000 completely trouble free miles needing nothing more than routine maintenance.

For the mirror, I found the best way to eliminate the glare/reflection was angle the mirror up until i only see headliner, then flip to the digital view. The angle of the mirror is irrelevant when you flip to digital view.

I just made the determination that the digital view is not for me. I prefer traditional.

It takes time for your eyes and brain to adjust (in my experience). I hated it at first and legit probably bothered me until I had used it for over 1k miles, but now I don't even switch back. My wife also hates it, but she'd have to get past my RAM app geo fence to log her 1k miles
