it was the My Ford Touch system. It was so bad on initial release that it dropped Fords overall JD Power rating.
Have it and Sync on our Explorer. Some minor glitches, but no big deal. Here's the thing though, if it never worked, shocked me every time I got in the car, and burned the car to the ground, it would still be 200 times better than OnStar.

What King Ranch said.

It's as if they are purposely trying to make an already bland product more blander.

You can't think that looks good.

Thats an "all terrain" model?? Looks like it has less ground clearance than an Acadia...

I want to see one in person, but yeah, I like the looks from the pictures I have seen.

GM has only used squared wheel wells since 1973.

That bumper seems to block most of the flow to the intercooler

Any issues with that and warranty?

I don't know if it's the boards or what on that truck, but it seems low. I thought the All Terrain package was supposed to be the Z71 package with extras.

The All Terrain is a hopped up Z71.

The angle of the picture, dark color of the truck and running boards probably make it look low. Differential clearance and approach angles are what's most important - I would be surprised if they aren't comparable to the competition.

I'm sure you can take off the front bumper air damn thingy at the bottom for more front clearance- kinda like the Ford. Also, without those boards, it would look MUCH better. Nice lookin truck IMO.

Yeah, it looks like the boards sit low and the bumper scoops down low as well.

Boards aren't helping. Of course I don't like running boards anyway.

Time to put some blood in the water for the Ford sharks : The wheel wells on the new GM trucks are lined with felt.
