2024 Ram transmission?

[Garry Knight]

Bought a new 2024 Ram 1500 in August. A year old but wanted a Hemi . It has the twist dial for gear shifting unlike my 2014 Ram . I find
that the trans doesn't seem to go in drive or reverse as fast as it should . It's like it wants to decide itself if it wants to go in gear or not and it's not quick , very sluggish .
Is this issue indicative of all the newer Rams?

Firstly, welcome, from Ontario, Canada.

Everything nowadays is drive-by-wire.... so,

DO NOT just select the gear and hit the throttle!
With foot on the brake, select your gear and wait just a moment until you feel it go into gear.

I'm old-school, too and hear ya... but in today's world one needs to give it a moment to "get into the selected gear" before one removes ones foot from the brake and onto the throttle!

Doing otherwise will net you premature damages on your transmission

It will be a bit slower if you try to shift and go at cold start up.
