2019-2025 Major Differences

It's also robust enough to use comm.ai, an aftermarket self driving solution.
 
I'm not a fan of my 3500's lane keeping assist. I have a 2015 Acura with it and it'll drive nice and straight between the lines, but the 3500 creeps towards one side or the other and then panics and jams me back the other direction back and forth, back and forth, back and forth. It's like watching a kid roll a bowling ball down a lane with bumpers. I realize it's not really designed to drive the truck and is just there to help, but I still generally just turn it off. That said, I've fuggered around with the settings trying to get it to work better and I might have it all screwed up.

OK, you're really scaring me now. I'm not fond of the whole self driving idea in the first place, but adding AI into the mix along with heavy duty trucks makes it sound even worse. YIKES!!!

So I'm still confused on the "steering" system, what's the difference between "Lane Keep Assist" and "Adaptive Steering", and what does everyone think of them?

Lane Keep Assist, which you can adjust and even disable if desired, is intended to "assist" by applying torque to the steering if you drift towards a lane marker. It's referred to as the "Lane Departure Warning System."

Adaptive Steering changes the steering gear ratio during slow speed driving. Less steering wheel input for faster turning. It's a beautiful thing.

Thanks for clearing that up @Brutal_HO, are both features available on most or all trims starting in 2019?

The features are mutually inclusive. Lane Sense includes Adaptive Steering.

The option is offered in a package group in all trims. I don't see it listed in the 2019 buyers guide options but I'm certain it was introduced with the "new" 2019 facelift.

Hi All, I'm back.

I had a bicycle crash that left me a bit broken up and had to concentrate on my physical issues pretty hard until now, still rehabbing but back to most normal activities.

So, I'm still shopping for a truck and I've narrowed it down to either a '21 or '22. The biggest differences I believe are the change to UC5 for the '22 and in the event that I want to tune the truck, the additional expense of a replacement ECM/PCM for the '22. Any thoughts on either of these, or any other differences I'm omitting, are welcome.

Also as I read the original window stickers for many of these trucks, BSM/Cross Path detection are absent from a good number of them. I'm guessing with the chip shortages of the time this feature is "spotty"? It seems to me to be one of the better safety options available.

Thanks so much for everyone's help!
 
I have a 21, but if I were looking, I would look to 18 and back. Or, give it another year or so and look at a new one….mosts bugs will be exposed by then.
