Oh wow
Now, I'm forgetting, is keeping the ZR2 more expensive post lease end? Seems like it staying could be cool.
It was/is an option...$33k is the buy-out price. The thing is fine...but a few things are frustrating.
Towing.
OMFG the transmission tuning is
on that fucker when towing...which I now do at least 2x per month for triple digit miles. It absolutely refuses to downshift until my foot is through the floor board, and when it does shift, if does two downshifts and it's screaming. No motherfucker, just one downshift with moderate throttle is all you needed to do. This is necessary when just keeping speed up a hill (floor it, downshift twice, then let off, and repeat ALL THE FUCKING TIME). And my trailer isn't even that heavy. WHAT THE FUCK
Gremlins.
It's probably the abuse the truck has gone through under my ownership (which has not been gentle AT ALL)...but weird glitches are starting to pop up. Like yesterday I set the left blinker on, but it wasn't making the indicator sound. Wife said "oh yea, that's been happening on and off lately". Oh, thanks for telling me.
Infotainment seems to be locking up now...turn the truck on and the screen is black. Restart and it's fine. This has happened a few times over the last few weeks for the few times I've driven it.
Went to hook up the camper yesterday after packing up, and the backup camera glitched into this split screen thing where the top was on the bottom and the bottom was on the top...the hitch ball was lost in the middle. Restarted the truck and the camera was just black (infotainment still worked
)...so I had
guide me on the hookup old school. Again, fine...but what the fuck.
I'm not claiming this is 100% the truck's fault, we've beat the hell out of it. Just not a good sign that at 17k miles it's showing these random issues. Might not be a problem if I treated it better, but that's too late now, the damage is done. That's the benefit of leasing, I can clean it up and wash my hands of it.
