I've only had them for a couple months and haven't tried them off road yet. Haven't tried them in the rain yet either because we don't get much in Arizona. The road noise is pretty quiet considering the aggressive tried. They have a slight whine between 70 and 80 mph that seems to get quieter...
I'm certain my 2025 OBX has fake engine noise coming from the speakers. It gets louder when I put it in sports mode and there is no way in hell that little 2.7 V6 is making that low rumble V8 sound.
You're going to need the tow module that is specific to the 2025 and newer models. It's only availabe in a kit that includes the hitch. Part # VS2DZ-15A416-C. I was able to get mine working with Forscan but since I already had an aftermarket hitch I now have an extra one.
Did you ever figure out how to clear this DTC code? I just installed my trailer module and configured everything with Forscan according to this thread. Everything is working except I'm getting this same DTC error code (Code: U0137 - Lost Communication With Trailer Brake Control Module).
My spare is a 285/75/17 and I have the Blue Ox hitch receiver installed. I don't have any issues at all with my trailers, bike rack or cargo rack. No extension needed with any of them.
