What is this?????

Just reviewing my pics from the event and noticed a rectangular box next to the tow hook and before the plate holder. Not a clue what it is. What do you think it is?

That is the sensor for the adaptive cruise control. Stand in front of it for ten minutes and cook your oysters. Ha Ha.

You just have to read the new manual (or ask here, someone will know.) Keep it clean or get false readings. Damn manual anyway. Don't even have a build date and I spent all day reading it. Carrots were on schedule for weeding and digging and cleaning a row of potatoes. Oh well, there is always tomorrow.

LOL If I were trying to accomplish something on the truck it would be the last place to go. Without a truck, it is the first. And I really like that little whatchamacallit. (Too old to know the real term.)

YES! She'd probably prefer some $100k foreign jumping horse...and another Wrangler.

same, but I'd rather read it than the great gatsby or Harry Potter or God forbid a Chevy manual.

I think that they're called emoticons, the ones from Apple I think are emojis... I'm not all the technologically smart

Emoticons generally refer to character based expression of emotions and emojis generally refer to the picture based expression of emotions.
