I just spent 10 minutes going through every setting on mine and I can find nothing referring to "Gear Selector", or "ERS". The only thing that comes close is something about fuel economy.
If the "Steering Wheel Setup" option is something in the Uconnect Settings menu, I don't have that. If you are referring to scrolling through the menus on the EVIC, that might be in there somewhere but instead of scrolling through several pages of menu there it's just easier to tap the ERS button and look at that. It might depend on which Uconnect system and what cluster you have, Midline, Highline, or Premium. I just have the Midline cluster with the Uconnect 5.

But you are right in that RAM be more consistent in what is available. I've had this truck for 3 months and I'm still going through the dang manual.
I'll check that out. I've been through all the menus on the EVIC and I haven't noticed that mine are numbered.
He doesn't state which trim level he has. The cluster may be different.
That's the midline dash it is there. When you scroll with the left steering wheel buttons you will come to menu 8 it is at the top of the display as you scroll. https://youtu.be/ibXjrU4V0TI
Thanks so much for this info! Yeah my loaded trailer right now is ~6,500 lbs. I'd prob try to track down a 3.92 axle ratio. Yup def have a WDH it's a Blue Ox Track Pro rated for 800-1k tongue weight. What's your max tow rarting on that 3.21 Eco Diesel?
No, that's the Highline dash, the middle of the three. I have the Midline, the lowest. Mine has a much smaller screen.
Around 8300 lbs I think? Still well above my camper weight. This is the biggest camper I think I’ll own, so not worries about the truck and her gears. I would have preferred 3.92 because I had them on my last two Rams, but these 3.21s work very nice for what I use the truck for.
OK, I do see that my menu pages are numbered - just really small characters in the upper left. When I get to #8 it gives me about a half dozen options of where to put what where, but gear range is not one of the options. I still have to tap my ERS to access that.
I'm pretty sure. You would have to go into to your EVIC and go through the steps, starting with access page #8, then walk me through it. Obviously, I don't expect you to do that because it isn't that important. I think I could own this truck for the next 20 years like I did my last one and still not know all the dang stuff it has.Are you sure though? Might want to triple check
You're probably right of course, I just find it odd that Ram gives both dashes the ability to see the gear number when using gear limiter, and gives me the ability to have it on permanently but not your truck.
What are the options you get in that menu?
Go get the 3.92 and never look back... I pull a 28' trailer that weighs around 5500 lbs loaded quite a bit. I live in the mountains of the east @ 2800 feet. I made 3 trips last year - two 1700 mile round trips to Michigan and one 1600 mile round trip to Maine. My truck runs in 7th gear at 70-75 mph most of the time... drops to 6th on some inclines depending on wind mostly. If I hit the steep, long climbs on the PA turnpike I'll drop to 5th sometimes if I'm pushing to hold 70 mph. That was with my 2014 - I have a 2023 ordered. Same gearing. I have 98,000 on my truck with 23,000 towing this trailer. No drivetrain issues EVER.
Personal observation, from a guy who has maintained a CDL for 40 years and tows an RV a lot: If you're running 70-75 MPH pulling a 28' trailer with a 1500-sized truck, you're going to kill someone. I have a RAM 2500, with a 15,000# tow capacity, pulling a 10,000# 30-foot trailer, and my rule is never...never...tow faster than 65. And that is only on the flat, no one-around freeway, like I-10 or I-40 in the middle of New Mexico and Texas. No one is ever in that much of a hurry.
That's not a cluster I've seen before. the one shown previously is the optional TTL color screen which was used on Laramie and up, which the exception of the Limited or Longhorn identifying patterns.
I understand. Regardless, it's my instrument cluster. I have the baseline model on everything. I did so in order to get the highest possible towing and cargo capacity there is without the diesel engine.
