2wd mode is front wheel drive? Why on earth would they do that? For a vehicle that is supposed to tow things, this makes no sense whatsoever. And no donuts. SMH
Maybe I missed it, where did they say it was FWD for 2H?Perhaps a down-the-line OTA update will allow the driver to choose which wheels to engage in 2WD mode...front or rear. Both have pros and cons depending on the task at hand.
I'm with you on engaging rears for donuts...but I think once we experience the tank turn...donuts will be so passe.
That said, the system should be able to decide what two wheels have power depending on the situation and traction, rear 2 slipping, shift to using the front 2. If that doesn't work, flip to AWD.
...not like you are engaging a diff or anything.
As for the leg room, having driven more then a few European cars of the zippy form... the placement of RJ's knees is kinda how I drive all the time these days (people love riding behind me). Getting in my RAM feels like stepping into a bowling alley or sitting down in my front room (is there such a thing as too much leg room?).
At any rate, most of use are in the 5'6" ( the wife AND the 13 year old) to 6 foot range (y0) and my in laws are all like... Smurf size with the exceptions of my brothers in law... but they can ride in the truck bed.
So long as there is room for the kid and the dog back there, I'm good.
