Say goodbye to the tactile feel of a manual transfer case floor shifter and say hello to more dash switches and electronics.

That sucks in my opinion...
But at least they have worked out most of the push button kinks in the other Ram models

Yeah I was hard pressed with the 2019 because they lost the transmission shifter in favor of a electric rotery knob.
I am not in favor ever of a electronic transfer case shifter for a vehicle you actually off-road.
I do not need an electronic nanny telling me when a good time to shift to 4wd is.
I have put up with the crazy parameters of the electronic lockers and learned how to work with them but having a computer tell me when I can go to 4wd is too far.

I'm going to be buried in mine.
I can see the electronics going crazy in deep water on the new PW's.

I just bought a new 2021 Power Wagon and it has the transfer case shifter in the floor...the electronic transfer case shifter is a $295 option.

Maybe it’s just an option for the upper trim levels, perhaps the Tradesman might still have a manual lever.
Look on the bright side, they made room for another cup holder!

I stand corrected... it’s not just another cup holder, it’s a whole new center console.

Yeah they added a console and got rid of a seat.

Honestly, as long as there are no restrictions on its usage, I really don't have a problem with the use of push button. Everything else is so electrified with these trucks, I don't see adding another electronic function as a problem. I just wish they would allow for an easier manner of overriding lockers and sway controls.

Electronic Shift-On-The-Fly Transfer Case is a $295 option, the manual floor shifter is still the standard base option. Shift-On-The-Fly is included with the 75th Anniversary Edition Package.

A buddy of mine test drove an anniversaries edition yesterday and pretty sure he’s placing an order on tue. I was surprised when he told me there was no manual t-case lever anymore.

Well, my Sway Bar Disconnect never worked once because its not water proof. And I had to install a bi-pass for the front locker to function. Not sure how much worse this could be.
