    Nice, welcome aboard and enjoy the ride. Be sure to read the owner's manual over if you have not.

    Hi and thanks Twittel... I Looked in my manual for hill assist and only saw the section for assist from rolling back when on an incline, is that what you refer to? Loving the dream...

    Hi w1n78. Not including tax and fees, I was charged around $36,500. So not the fun part...

    I didn't wait long. I knew shortages were coming and I couldn't really see anything but v5 after the test drive so I was hooked...

    Yes, that's the option. I learned about it from PC and has been a bumper saver for me and cars behind me!
