Won’t complain about a quick $20k

You could just pick which side you like better, flip the other side around. Park a little farther from the curb/wall/car on the flipped side. Get some brake dust on them to match.

Easy peasy.

I meant trade the wheels….but I mean I guess you could get rid of the truck too.

You can try, but you will always KNOW it’s not right.

Rough day huh?

The long way is:
Find out who manufactures the wheels. Break into the plant, flip the casting. Wait until they’re produced. Hunt down a “new” wheel. Trade the lucky person in the middle of the night. Send them a “you’re welcome” card at some point down the road.

Edit:
Find multiple “new” wheels for your fellow 7/11 buds. Organize a “Gone in 60 seconds” wheel “event” so we can all be happy with our Lariats.

Well boys... I picked up the truck today and I think I just had my back break over something that I didn't know was not included with the base XLT... adaptive cruise control.

I think I'm selling the truck. It is completely asinine that they tie that feature, which my 2014 outback had, to the copilot 2.0 system (that required the $10k upgrade) and not include it in the base active system that has all of the other safety features with cross traffic and such, already has front facing cameras, etc.

I was a little ticked front heated seats weren't included in the pro to XLT upgrade, that I think I could live with. I don't think I can live without adaptive cruise control.

Wasn’t it supposed to be not in the base but included with the upgrade package?

Base meaning XLT? Well I never picked up on that. I had apparently incorrectly assumed that would be a standard option when there's so many of the automated safety features included, and branded as "copilot 360" I assumed ACC would be a bare minimum feature since it is such an old feature and included standard on so many cars today.

That's correct, the base XLT never had the adaptive cruise.

You should've been here like 37 pages ago when I was whining about the same thing. It's ridiculous.
