I picked up my Lariat ER today and spent a good hour going through many of the settings. It got me wondering what some owners' favorite settings are. It took me a while to get to the audio settings for the BO radio.

For one, I like the dark mode for the display much better graphic detail. I also use Alexa so enabled this as well.

Does anyone want to share any setups?

The most useful setting to me is the Cruise Control setting of 4 mph over the speed limit. Blue Cruise adjusts the cruise speed setting to 4 mph over the speed limit even if I travel through small towns. Be prepared though. When it sees a speed limit reduction it will dump speed fairly fast!

I'm glad to know that someone finds this useful. I turned it on and tried it on my first 400 mile road trip this weekend. I promptly turned it off half way through my trip. Driving in traffic and your truck wanting to slow down 5 to 10 MPH quickly in heavy traffic is not a good thing. I also had it turned off on the Tesla.

Happy to hear you are loving the Cruise Control setting. Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. :)

Speaking of settings is there a sync setting for the climate control - to sync the passenger and rear temp and blower settings to the driver?
There is - if I recall - touch the icon to the right of the volume knob - the one that shows to adjust air flow from top vents to the floor. You'll get a whole new page of options. You can sync and unsync from that screen. I think there is a simpler way too, but I'm not near my truck to go recall what it is.

Rather than dark mode all the time, you can also do auto mode and get light mode during the day and dark at night.
