Fam,
Does anybody know if Ram changed the accelerator response sensitivity between the 4th amd 5th gen Ram 1500's?
The reason I ask is , I just traded in my 2014 Ram 1500 Ecodiesel(junk ) for a 2018 Ram 1500 limited (Hemi this time, 64k miles). I test drove the truck amd it obviously felt WAY more powerful than the ecodiesel. They gave me a 2022 1500 for a loaner while they were certifying the 2018 and the 2022 just felt way more responsive and peppy than the 2018. When I got the 2018 I found the gear limit (turn off MDS) made a night and day difference, but still not as peppy as the 2022. I just dropped the 2018 off today for them to fix the crappy front brakes they tried to stick me with, and they gave me another 2022 1500 loaner. This truck again just feels way more peppy even they they have the same engine and specs.
My 2018 is a crew cab 4x4 where these 2022 loaners are extended cab 2x4s.
Do you think this difference is the 4x4, weight, efan vs clutch differences (doesn't seem to hold up with my knowledge of auto mechanics, due to the drastic difference to me driving two di$rremt 2022s) or is it something else??
My first thought is maybe the newer Rams have a "better" accelerator pedal, as if they knew everyone is putting pedal commanders on their trucks.. lol .. but could it be something else?
What are everyone's thoughts or is it just that my butt dyno is out of calibration
Thanks inm advance!!
