My dealer finally got back to me (though I wasn't pressing them) and performed (updated) the Battery Management System and the software update for the Inoperative Front Parking Sensors. (The camera resolution seems much improved; is that an outcome of the update, or because I never bothered to...
What a ride, and the only real problems I've had with my Lariat ER have been self-inflicted (broken mirrors.) And yes, I think I'd be more comfortable with something not quite so huge.
