Top 10 things I’ve learned just over 1000 miles…

1) total fun vehicle
2) draws a ton of attention… both appreciated and unappreciated
3) 300+ hp and 400+ ft/lb torque is a blast… but likely will go unused 90% of the time… but did I mention it is thrilling!!!
4) still too fat and need a step for 2 door… come on manufacturers!!!
5) even my wife who isn’t a car gal enjoys it
6) does anyone else with the 3.7 notice a vibration in the mid 30mph range… it’s consistent… and not bad… just noticeable
7) blessed all around with the experience
8) ready for aftermarket to kick it up a gear!
9) getting better mpg than projected (18-20 mpg… rural driving)
10) I can’t stop washing the crazy thing… anyone else?

I agree on all accounts, I can't say I have actually felt the vibration. As far as steps, I too need some but for the wife. I finally settled on these from Westin, mainly due to the fact that my local dealership let me order through them and I could use my Pass points. Might be something you ask your local parts department.

Those look pretty good, I haven't seen them on anyones ride to judge what they look like. The ones I ordered were around $550 total, I will install myself.

So, I too had some vibration, but it was at 70 and above, called the dealership's service department about it. They said "it's the tires they grab the road blah blah" .. I called bullshit and took it up to discount tire, spent 40 bucks on rebalancing all the tires... drives like a dream now. No vibration whatsoever. Also, when I took delivery my tires were 45psi. I also aired them down to 39psi. My back and my neck thanked me afterwards lol

Ah-ho! Constantly doing the Adams ceramic waterless wash, RainX'g windows, etc. Enjoying 5 different kinds of microfiber mitts & towels & paraphernalia. More like caressing than just cleaning. (And we are in dust and pollen season.)

K sounds good. Ill use the same color I used on mine. It's like a perfect match in sunlight. This is what it looks like in my garage/shaded.

When the wife is in a hurry and almost doesn’t see a giant school bus.
The little school bus almost backed into the big school bus. :-(
She stopped in time , but still made me cringe as i watched her from my office.

Yikes! I bet the cross traffic alert triggered, tho!
