Great info!

CRAP! I want the head restraints for my rear seats! Is that UConnect built in automatically regardless of radio selection? That would be nice also.

NEW 48RE? Is this just the E-brake friendly modifications?

Vittorio

Ditto great info! Tow Haul mode sounds good as long as it doesn't hunt around too much.

Do you think the Tow/Haul mode is just a software upgrade on the 2500/3500 diesel trucks?

Thoughts...

It's probably just a relabel of the overdrive lockout button.

I bet it will use that same button though and the overdrive lockout will be gone. At least that is exactly what Ford did.

I thought I read somewhere that the tow/haul mode was for manual trannies only though. Although that doesn't make sense either. ???

I had a GM Truck before I saw the light, The TowHaul mode would make the truck sift at a higher RPM's and shift a little Harder.
