Things I don’t like about my new Gladiator

[msujedi]

Eh...there's a good reason it was added.

While this feature is still annoying, knowing that it addressed a real safety issue does help me accept it. Thanks for the back story!

Add Auto Park to my list of dislikes. I pretty much hate this safety feature, as a contractor Im in and out of this truck multiple times and many of those times its only to move the truck a few feet. Having to shut the door or plug in the seatbelt sucks when doing this..

Wait... auto park?

It's not a "park assist", but rather a feature that stops the vehicle from moving if it believes it might be 'unmanned'. If the driver door is open or it doesn't sense weight in the driver seat, the vehicle automatically goes into 'park' ... even if you manually have it in drive or reverse.

Interesting. I haven’t experienced it yet.
So that means you’d have to move it up to Park and then back to where you want it...

When I first got my LE I put it in neutral because I wanted to fiddle with its position in my garage. I thought I'd be able to just push it a bit to see if I had to move things around but it wouldn't let me push it and went into "neutral park."

Just experienced it by mistake. I was going reverse slowly and opened the door. It went right to park and stopped. Interesting. I wonder if off road mode, or 4H and 4L disable that.... that would be super annoying wheeling.

I imagine there is some type of disconnect , otherwise we couldn't drive with the doors off... Is it a feature in the apps that can be turned off?

Yea kudos to Tri-City, specifically @Travis@TriCityJeep - despite the waiting, which wasn’t the dealers fault, best car buying experience I’ve had to date.

If I had known that he would deliver to my doorstep I would have ordered from him. Just didn't want to deal with driving/flying out there to pickup the truck... But, I'm happy with my deal I got as well tho.

The delivery cost money - but all in all it was cheaper than flying there, and with the deal I was still saving money. I’d do it again - although now I know that launch really means sloth to fca... cue the sloth memes @steffen707

When you disconnect the power to the JL doors, they can open without triggering auto park. I haven't had it auto park while in 4hi or 4lo. I'm not sure whether or not I ever came up off of my seat to get a look at things while moving to trigger it though.

Congrats on your new ride! If you don't mind me asking, how much did it cost to deliver it? $1000? My 1 way ticket will only cost $100, then the gas driving back to Detroit. I enjoy driving, so I the time I spend driving isn't 'wasted' as far as I'm concerned. But, if the cost of shipping is close to my flight + gas, I might arrange shipment.

I imagine disconnecting the doors probably turns it off... maybe...
