Just watched the Out of Spec episode where they took the R11T in some slippery & snowy conditions and there is some concerning revelations.
1) Headlights ice over because the LED's don't put out enough heat.
2) Rear diff locks up under regen braking.
My daily commute is over a very snowy, very icy, very steep (10% grade) mountain pass and I've been concerned with the weight of the truck it would struggle on icy inclines. Seeing this review does not ease my concerns. I understand the rear diff problem could be corrected with an OTA updated snow/mud drive setting, but not sure there is much they can do about the headlights. Maybe I'm wrong 🤷♂️
I've been making this drive everyday for 5+ years so I've driven through some gnarly conditions, however stakes are raised when you're driving a $90k truck with service/repair unknowns.
Anyone else concerned?
