I just finished a road trip a little more than 1,000 miles in my Underground 2024 TRD Off-Road in Underground w/ Blackout Package. Here are some takeaways.
The adaptive cruise control and active lane assists work amazing. I did not find the system ping-ponging within the lane and there were few noticable mistakes. It occasionally tries to make you take the offramp, but this is game changing for driver fatigue. The system does require a hand on the wheel every 15 seconds or so.
The seats and interior are not anything special, from a comfort standpoint. I find that a full sized Ram 1500 or f150 XLT often have seats that feel like lazy boy recliners. I didn't have any pains, numb legs, or discomfort. Comfort just wasn't noticable.
The new suspension is much more comfortable than old leaf springs. My girlfriend often got car sick when we took long trips in my previous truck. Minimal sway and minimal bumps. The brakes felt reassuring and truck stable at high speeds.
There is slight turbo lag when driving in the city. The truck is quick enough to get around.
The range is disappointing. I am only getting around 250 miles per tank (a full tank reads 275miles). I think the truck leaves 3 gallons of gas in reserve that are not counted in your range. My prior f150 had 450 miles in range.
I was very disappointed in my trucks mpg, especially after watching the TFL video. Averaging around 85mph, the truck got 17.5mpg. I did a 150 mile trip at 75 mph and the truck got 20.3mpg.
Overall I'm happy with the truck. There isn't a truck out there that meets my needs better for under 50k. I'm happy to answer any questions.
