You've got snow and no Ridge? We need you to have your truck up there to give us a report of how it handles in the far north.
Reports are starting to trickle in and it looks good. Islandgrl is on Kodiak and she's thrilled.
We were supposed to get blasted today, but only had mere flurries that melted right away in the valley. The mountains got covered though. If it tries again tomorrow it will stay white as the temps went down considerably.
I can only report so far about the front seat heater and defroster. I'm very impressed. We have the dual controls and it really works. The fan is very powerful and having it on high or 7 is rarely needed and then only until the desired temp is reached.
The defroster works great, but we haven't had a true hard freeze yet. But after driving a Trooper that required us leaving the defroster on full blast all the time in snowy weather and then still leaving pockets of undefrosted windows, the RL is amazing. Defrost on high clears the whole windshield in a hurry so far. We no longer have to leave it blowing hot air in my face. I always hated that in the Trooper.
I can't speak to the backseat heating, but my puppies are happy.
LR started this snowy thread on T-day. Maybe you missed it.
