4 modern trucks with surprising tech features - Computerworld
And, we all know BMW and Audi make incredibly high-tech sedans. Yet, over the past two years, automakers have started adding some surprising tech features to trucks. One model can lower itself to help passengers step inside and to make it easier to load your gear at Home Depot. Another has the same lane-keeping tech you’d find in that BMW. 2015 Ford F-150 Ford made some dramatic tech improvements on the 2015 F-150 , but the one that surprised me the most during a recent test drive had to do with lane-keeping. 2015 Toyota Tundra What’s most surprising about this high-tech truck is that it has a wide assortment of apps you can control through the touchscreen display. 2015 RAM 1500 The RAM 1500 normally has 8. 7-inches of ground clearance, but you can use the keyfob to change the height -- lowering the truck. 6-inches for better aerodynamics or lower it by two inches when you park (making it easier to load gear or climb aboard). You can make manual adjustments, but if you forget, the truck will read what you have loaded (say, a bunch of plywood) and adjust as needed. Source: www.computerworld.com
