Hi Keef 7,

The technology pack on our Trailhawk includes forward collision warning, lane departure warning, blind spot monitoring, rear cross path detection, parallel and perpendicular park assist and adaptive cruise control. It adds around $3K plus taxes to the vehicle.

I haven't spoken to ARB re the bulbar. I'm expecting it to be delayed due to the updates in the MY17's and the Trailhawk recovery points.

Looking forward to the new beast!

Cheers, Chris.

Oh ok, I.m getting that my brochure calls it the safety group. I'm certainly looking forward to mine too, when I ordered it at the start of the month they said July delivery but last week I got a call to say mid to late May as it was now on the boat. Much happier with that, waiting is no fun at all.

Cheers,

Thank you. We are just back from a short trip to the North East to the Bright area for Easter. Already booked it in for the 1,000 km checkup!

Cheers

That's great - how do you find it?

The 8 gearbox is terrific for towing.

Fun to drive too.

Enjoy!

Cheers,
Sally

It is great.

I wish Eco was not the default - especially towing!

The only problem so far is that the "Easy Entry" setup sometimes does, sometimes does not move the seat.

The gearbox is as smooth as silk.

Cheers

I've just wired in the cabling for the auxiliary battery I put in the back when traveling. I wired direct to the battery terminals via a 40 Amp fuse to an Anderson plug on short leads. I will then pull the Anderson plug out of the battery bay and plug in a charging lead to the battery - all 6B&S.

I also wired in a switch to turn on the compressor when I put it and the air tank in for trips. The switch is in the kick panel next to my right knee - next to the knob for the Redarc Tow Pro Elite that the dealer wired in.

Still stuffed if I can figure out how to do an Anderson plug for the trailer - might have to flick pass that to the professionals!

Cheers
