Not sure if this is been mentioned on this post in the past, but has anybody else noticed sluggish throttle response when driving with the cruise control on and you try to accelerate?

Seems like I have to really put my foot into it before the truck responds. Truck has lots of power normally (5.7 Hemi), this is not an issue.

Look into the Pedal Commander. Best mod so far for my Rebel. You can eliminate this problem completely.

On cruse control you're on "eco" mode... You'd have to hit the gas just to get it off eco mode and then the regular sluggish pedal feel comes in...

I have it also with the V6. I have seen the GoPedal and am planning on going that route.

This is because of the cylinder deactivation system(MDS). Put the truck in 8th gear (manual mode) to disable MDS and test again

Get a custom tune. Will do much more than just make the peddle more touchy. A tune will actually unlock a good deal of power, along w/ a better peddle feel
