Anybody think 34” or 35” tires would add a little bit of resistance? Planning on upgrading soon anyway.- Jesse K Potter

4x4 Low Descending Down Hill Issues
For sure. This truck is a trade off for mpg, cabsize and bedsize compared to Tundra options, and towing. Other than this issue, truck is great. The downhill issue is not scary, but maybe if I had a heavy load it would be.- Jesse K Potter

4x4 Low Descending Down Hill Issues
Yeah, been trying to confirm if the Pulsar would make a difference with the MDS “disabled” before dropping the $500. Considering getting it and selling it if no big difference. Figure the tc locks in 4low when limited to 1st gear- Jesse K Potter

4x4 Low Descending Down Hill Issues

4x4 Low Descending Down Hill Issues
ugh, yeah. That would be perfect of course. Found a really good deal on this 1500 with 7,000 miles as a former Enterprise truck for about $15k less than MSRP, and much cheaper than a new Tundra (which has good downhill engine braking). We drive 126 miles round trip, so wasn’t looking for gas...- Jesse K Potter

I lock it in 1st gear every time via the Gear Selector on the steering wheel. What I described occurs while in 4x4 Low while being locked in 1st gear. My truck doesn't have the Hill Descent Control.

4x4 Low Descending Down Hill Issues
2019 Ram 1500 Classic Big Horn 4x4 5.7L 8speed 3.21 gearing ~~ I regularly go down a mile long steep hill that requires 4x4 low and in 1st gear to descend to avoid burning up the brakes. The trucks gearing and compression should slow it down enough, but I find myself tapping the brakes more...- Jesse K Potter

I am looking into shutting off the MDS to see if it makes a difference when going down a really steep mile long hill in 4x4 Low in 1st gear, no throttle applied. The trucks gearing and compression should slow it down enough, but I find myself tapping the brakes more than my previous truck, a...- Jesse K Potter
