hidden feature in 2021 Ram 1500

I found this out immediately because I’m one of the dump people they implemented this feature for.

Common sense..not a hidden feature its a safety feature 😂

When a Ford guy steps into modern times and tries out a quality truck.

My 2015 dodge ram 1500 does the same thing my knob just doesn’t turn

[dRiifTeR]

My 2017 does this as well, minus the knob turning which I'm grateful for since there is no reason for it to move.

Its the autopark feature, the Chrysler dial shifts have it back to at least 2017. Mine have a service bullitin to have it turned on, some got missed.

My 2018 Big Horn does that without turning the knob.

I do believe a lot of these features depend on trim level test each different 1500 in a controlled environment to ensure your trim level has this feature. If it does not when you get out, the truck will roll away.

Wow! crazy! These trucks are full of these hidden features. Try pressing the driver side window button while the window is already up. It goes back DOWN!!🤯🤯🤯🤯

My 2016 screams at me like a housewife when I do this

[MercOilbuner]

That happens weekly for me. No matter the car. I think its because the cars i have the most hours in have been manual transmissions.

My 2016 durango does this. The difference is that the knob didn't turn. Just the light changes

[tomk]

I figure that out when I open the door in drive…

[iplaygames]

It was a recall on some of stellantis vehicles so the vehicle would do that. A baseball player I believe was ran over and killed in his own driveway because he didn’t put his vehicle in park and that’s why stellantis vehicles now have this feature

[roccaton]

Lol just noticed this the other day cool feature for sure.. loving my 24 RAM laramie Black on black night edition...

[alfredough]

It would be a lawsuit if they didn’t have this 😂

[nicholas]

In mine, which is the 2019 sport, it applies the brakes, and puts the vehicle in park and switches on the emergency feature, so the vehicle cannot roll away. So for instance, the truck was in drive and you jumped out of it, leaving it in. Drive the truck will park itself and lock out the parking brake amazing emergency feature. You don't have to do anything, it's automatic.

Another cool feature if you open the door why the car is in forward/reverse, it puts it in park automatically

[Tylnorton]

My 2017 does this. Still not 100% used to the dial shifter but it has grown on me.

The relevant part is not shown. If you switch off while not in P, it goes in ACC mode instead of completely turning off. Very useful.
