I also added the ambient lighting to this truck. My 2018 had the lit cupholders, so it felt like a step backwards to not have it on the 2023 truck. While I was at it, I also added a glovebox light and the footwell lighting. Total cost was around $200, including the harnesses from JHForman812. It also required some Forscan tweaks to make them active and dimmable.
Here's a LINK to a thread with John's workmanship and a few people have posted how-to's in the thread.
Speaking of lighting, one thing I really like about this truck is the approach lighting. It's only an annoyance when I'm walking past the truck with the key in my pocket, but otherwise I really appreciate it. We are going camping next month, so I wonder if I need a Faraday cage to keep the key in all night.
Yesterday, I reset the MPG monitor for the first time and after about 100 miles of optimal two-lane highway driving, it's showing 22mpg. I'm good with that.

That's the 'wake up' setting. I disabled it in the features menu. My truck is parked right outside my office window so it was constantly going off since the key was so close. Plus it would do it while we were camping and annoy other campers in the evenings.Speaking of lighting, one thing I really like about this truck is the approach lighting.

This morning I had a few friends swing by and we placed the RSi Smartcap EVO onto the bed. I was checking RSi's website a few times a week and then ordered through Offroad Alliance on March 22nd, as soon as orders opened. Then I patiently waited over a month for it to get built and shipped.
It looks fantastic, I think. The truck now rides softly in the front and back, whereas before the front was noticeably softer than the rear.
