Add Crawl Control and Multi-Terrain Select

DIFFICULTY 2 / 5TIME ≈ 2 hoursCOST Parts only (factory switches)

Symptoms

Not a fault. Most 2010–2019 US trucks left the factory without Crawl Control or MTS.

The fix, step by step

  1. Lift the center console trim and swap in the factory switch panels.
  2. Then run a yaw-rate sensor zero-point calibration (the OBD-wire method is covered in linked videos).
  3. Don't search parts by VIN, because you may be sent the wrong part.
