    Stelvio Owner from Europe similar spec, same engine, it's great to see content coming from the US, keep up with it! This is a highly underrated car, mostly because we've been brainwashed by German marketing for decades...
    I've been on the forums since this car came out and they are pretty much bullet proof. Most issues come from battery voltages, earlier models had some water infiltration that caused electric failures (fixed via recall in 2018). Mine required an oil top up after a series of strong pulls to 140mph. If needed, ensure you use the proper spec oil, always the same (oil is very important for this car)
    A few advices:
    - Don't touch the suspensions, Ferrari engineers have tuned them, it will be easy to fuck them up.
    - Get a 95ah AGM battery (most issues come with older, lower specs batteries - the car is sensitive to voltages
    - Get a 2020 Steering wheel, they are much better quality (the leather) and refreshes the car a lot (you can do the same for the gear knob, plug and play)
    - Get 20 inch wheels, they improve handling without sacrificing comfort too much (I recommend the forged Quadrifoglio wheels, they are lighter, strong and look amazing)
    - Change oil every 6k miles, this is the trick that will make sure your Multiair never dies (along with not pushing with a cold engine!)
    - You desperately need a new exhaust! I'm sure it's on the way... I've put a street legal Italian made Ragazzon on mine and it doesn't sound like a washing machine anymore
    - ZFs are reliable and Alfa (as well as other brands) don't train/equip their dealers to maintain it. Oil changes are required every roughly 50-60k miles, preventing wear and rough gear changes
    By the way, the platform is called "Giorgio" (italian for George), not Gregorio :D
    The Stelvio is more exclusive than the Tonale, which is an evolution of the Jeep Compass. The Stelvio is an evolution of the Giulia Quadrifoglio, which was the first model of the series (unlike some German brands, the Quadrifoglio version is not a tuned up base Stelvio, instead the base models are de-tuned Quadrifoglio versions.
    If you want to de-activate traction control, just disconnect the battery for a few seconds, the first re-start is without electronic controls
    Hey I know this car pretty well, feel free to ask for some advice!
    Cheers
