  I don't seem to have a problem activating the rear wiper. It's only one quarter twist and works fine. As for switching media modes, it can be done by voice if that's what your referring to. Give me a follow up.

  I have the Overland Trail Rated Package with 18" Michelins, they are not off road tires, they suck. I picked up Continental Conti 4x4 Winter Contact and they have been great, very quit and great handling on dry roads (which we have a lot of) but tears through the snow. Toronto has mostly dry roads with occasional snow storms or slush/ice conditions. These are best for those conditions.

  The tranny does not have "added gears" as far as I know, just the conventional five. What happens is that when the HEMI is not under load, it reduces to 4 cylinders from 8 and this results in added fuel economy. I have the same thing on my 2006 Chevy Impala SS and it works seamlessly an beautifully, not to mention effectively.
