This may sound stupid but I just got a 2008 Dodge Ram 1500 4x4 bighorn. I realized shortly after buying it that it was not equipped w/ an "auto 4wd" selection. Just 2wd, 4hi and 4 lo. is this standard? and which models have the Auto 4wd?

 

its preaty standered the "big horn " package is just upgrades in steiro ,seats ect.
but i think most big horns have what you have atleast my buddies do

 

Yeah, I had a hell of a time finding an '04 Laramie without the auto push button 4wd...

 

the only thing i can think of that has auto 4wd is a chevy silverado Z71 with all the bells and whistles, your talking about being able to push the auto 4wd button and it slips the truck in and out of 4wd when you need it right?

 

ya i think he is thinking a chevy thing.

 

my 98 tahoe had it. i used it a few times, it was helpful like on the highway in inclement cold weather.

 

It was an option on some Rams. Mine doesn't have it either, but it is explained in my manual. According to what I've found, it seems to be called "On Demand 4wd."

 

oh i didint even know rams came with that option

 

eh who needs auto 4x4, if you dont know when you should be in 4wd you shouldnt be driving.

 

I think that would just cause more wear and tear on the transfer case and front end constantly shiftin in an out of 4x4, just comonsents if you ask me.
