Spending some time in a Tungsten edition of the Ram pickup. I’ll update with impressions as I drive it more.

It only handed it back to me a few times. Lane change technology was solid. It did seem the vehicle hung a bit to the left side of the lane. It did a good job of braking when we hit slow traffic.
