Do they seriously think that they can sell a truck with a huge back seat including baby seat attachments, but you're never allowed to idle the truck and they're quick to blame the consumer when you do idle??? I have an infant child and you had better bet that the truck idles when it needs to in order to keep the cabin cool with my precious cargo in it.

Exactly! Like I'm just gonna drop my windows and let my 4-year old and 19-month old sit in the 119-degree heat in Havasu while I load the boat in or out of the water.
Last time coming back from Havasu the truck threw a P0420 code for the cat. convertor. The service manager blamed me and told me I had to "drive it like a truck." Hell, I was towing on the highway at 75mph when the code popped up. My boat and trailer only weigh 5,000-6,000lbs. Am I supposed to load 10K lbs of lead shot in my hull every time I go to the river?
I respectfully lit her up for that comment and then reminded her, the head service manager, the sales manager, and the general manager that there was conveniently no mention whatsoever of specific driving requirements when I went in there with my checkbook to buy the damn thing and I'd better not hear that excuse from them ever again.
Sorry, just venting like everybody else.
