In stock form… the truck is too heavy and doesn’t make enough power to do a legitimate donut. But I guess the guys at Ram didn’t have donuts on the top of their priority list.
Wait a bit for the Goodyear's to wear down and then when its damp out you can maybe do half a donut.
My '15 Ram Express will spin the tires at will, on any surface. 22 inch R/Ts at that.
Yep mine too 18 cc night hemi 3.92 antispin- if it’s been raining u better b paying attention
Seriously mohemipar? 395HP (stock) isn't enough to do a NASCAR turn around? Maybe not at 50MPH (without help from the parking brake at the beginning) but that's plenty of HP at crawl speeds or when there is even just a touch of water on the road. Heck, if the road is damp, you should be able to do a 180 even at higher speeds with 395HP...
I used to do it in my lower HP (325HP?) 2005 Ram all the time!
My 2013 had the yaw control (which I found out the hard way!), and while it could do nice burnouts in the straight line (traction control off), even on snow/glare ice, wet pavement, ANYTHING, I could not get the back end to come around more than about 20 degrees off center before the front brakes would automatically start modulating and straighten the vehicle right out! This is all with traction control "off" of course (TC only stops the wheels from spinning but it has nothing to do with the yaw control which prevent the vehicle's back-side from getting out of line, intentionally or otherwise).
I actually give the Ram engineers credit because the yaw control DOES work way better than I ever would have expected it to (seriously, I have gone into 100% unplowed/icy parking lots and tried my darndest to get the truck to even do a simple 180 and it's basically impossible!). I HATE THE YAW CONTROL!
I was even told this by the dealer after experimenting with every switch on the 2013 truck to bypass the yaw control and get the ass-end to come around like my old truck did quite reliably and CONTROLLABLY... They said it was in the ride computer and not linked to any of the factory control switches. They also said it might be possible to pay for a yaw-bypass switch to be installed on the dash, but that dealer sucked, so I didn't want them to screw up my truck by trying to put one on.
Let alone, I shouldn't have to PAY to have my truck drive the way I want it to/like my old truck did...
Booms/Seabrook, I'm not talking about just spinning the tires in a straight line; you honestly can get the back of your Rams to come around and do a 180/360???
I'm talking NASCAR turn arounds!?!
I bet you can't...
Take a video of you doing a 180 and then, tell me what switches or ancient Mayan voo-doo dance you did to cancel the yaw control which your trucks have to have, just like mine does...
The yaw control does work amazingly well. But I should be able to easily disengage it too.
I'm so tired of the PC engineers or NHTSA nerds telling me what I cannot be able to do in my own truck, whether it's doing donuts, or getting texts on my radio, or NAV features, etc...
It's like magazine capacity limitations on an M-16/AR-15. How stupid...
