I agree with the poster several spots above that snow mode would be nice. After having just had my R1T for 5 days now and putting about 250 miles on it, I think the software update I'd most like to see is to have a camera view to the passenger side and behind when signaling a right hand lane change. My Honda Pilot does that and it is a huge help from a safety standpoint. The R1T does make a noise to let you know there's a car in your blind spot, and shows a graphic image of the car, but it is tough to tell if that car behind your right rear quarter (passenger side blind spot) is speeding up or slowing down. That's what the camera would help with. And it makes it easier to tell when you are clear of them to go ahead and safely merge over.

I think list of things I'd like to see (kneel mode was near the top).

1. Dash cam (pending)
2. better phone integration (favorites/messaging), push address/maps to car from phone
3. Sirius XM app (no sat hardware from what I understand)
4. Carplay (broken record -- not coming).
5. web/video streaming (pending).

I wonder how long the kneeling will take. In videos of people changing the ride height they sometimes use time-lapse because of the slow response.
Air tank has enough capacity to go from lowest to standard without the compressor needing to activate if the tank was already full. Above that though, it needs a lot higher pressure, so it has to activate the pump to get there.

I would love to see the entire LED light bar on the tailgate illuminate when applying the brakes. The brake lights on this truck are too small.
probably won't happen. There is a minimum distance requirement between brake lights.

When they say driver facing camera is turned off for privacy….what do they mean? Is someone monitoring that camera? Is this why the guides are so busy?!

No kidding. How can you not have text messages shown on the display and the ability to reply to them without touching the phone? Instead, we get an X-ray view of the Sasquatch gear guard. Elon fart sounds next?

May… may never. Apparently it’s very problematic with each wheel experiencing different friction coefficients.

I've heard it'll never happen. Would destroy too my trucks to implement.

How unreliable would tank turn be? On a scale of 1 to powered-tonneau?
