    Nice call on factory tires with no lift! Thanks for the update on the AC. Seems to be a somewhat common and pretty painful and hard to locate the leak topic when it does pop up. Should be good to drive it without the AC on, but still have fan and heater functionality (cool weather is here...

    Wireless charging on center console

    For sure. I have two phones (one for work) and I’ve gotten used to throwing it on the wireless charger when I drive my wife’s Yukon. It’s nice to just have it there next to you and I thought with a non slip pad there that would be an added bonus
