I live at the bottom of a gravel driveway with somewhere around a 12% grade. I took delivery of some flooring yesterday, and then had to pull the tractor/trailer back up the driveway with my R1T. His rig wasn't at all heavily loaded, he just had no traction. He also insisted his diffs were...
(Once it's out of warranty, of course)
This is not my area of expertise, but I keep watching rock-crawling videos, and I'm wondering...
If I want to increase my ground clearance (I mean, 15 inches is nice, but we can do better, right?), bigger tires seem like they're worth the effort...
I was pondering whether I'd consider the R1T to really be an "adventure" vehicle while driving yesterday. I realize the claim is partly branding, this isn't all that important since I love the thing, and I don't want to get overly pedantic, but still...
"Yes, it is":

- ground...
It's 73(F, you folks in modern countries can figure out the conversion to C) out, and my El Cap Granite R1T's windshield's getting a fair amount of sun... And, oh, yeah.... it ain't got 0 miles.
Fortunately, my service appointment (scheduled 6-ish weeks ago) is coming up next Friday.
A couple days ago, I noticed an odd sound when I was holding steady speed, whether by pedal manipulation, or cruise control.

I've been scratching my head about this since getting my R1T 4 months ago. I'd love it if someone would point out something obvious to me!
When I've got cruise control engaged, I'm not allowed to adjust ride height. For the life of me, I can't imagine why this interlock would be required.
Ideas?
