The eight-speed Tiptronic transmission slips through the gears seamlessly, with the center console-mounted gearshift providing sequential manual access to each cog.
Recently, for example, Chrysler notified almost 24, 000 Dodge Charger and Chrysler 300 owners of a free software fix to dim the light on the gearshift knob.
The Ram's gearshift selector is a rotary dial mounted vertically to the right of the steering wheel, and I, for one, found it pretty friendly to operate.
