It is pretty shocking that truck sales are so highly combative and Ram is just letting this easy update linger. It makes me wonder if there is some issue with how they have integrated android auto that would take too long to build out full screen mode. This is the single thing that has prevented me from buying a 12" UC5 for my truck, not that Ram cares about that, but it is disappointing as a owner of 2 Cummins trucks.
That said, it's kind of a weird threat to say that if your new truck doesn't get a software update you'll just wish you bought a Ford, haha.
Not a threat! I already *have* my custom ordered King Ranch F150 with more bells and whistles that the HD Ram can bring. I love my F150. But with trailer I'm maxed on payload and we're limited to short weekend warrior trips where we can avoid things such as wind by looking at 10 day forecasts. If we ever want to go on a non-refundable long trip I need a beefier truck. I'm just saying that once I get the Ram that every time I see the nerfed android auto experience I will be "reminded of her" because I love my current (maxed out) truck so much. There are so many new things to be excited for (Rambox, air suspension, digital rear view, diesel, PAYLOAD, floor bins) but that screen is right there in my face unlike the other things I'm giving up (hands free driving, 7.2kW generator, hybrid, average MPG, massage seats, power tailgate, work surface).
So no threat, I will also love the HD Ram (as there is no Ford option), but frustrating that the android auto experience is a massive step backward. Hope that makes sense!
