Speaking of black ice, I spun then flipped then rolled my 98 Ram Quad Cab last year. I personally would have liked anything that would have help me in that situation. Before you think I'm a crappy driver, you need to know that on that day, there were 5 or 6 others that went off the road in that general area with in about a 1/2 hour.

I have no issues with my TRX-4 in particular. I love it. As far as the ESP in concerned, you can turn it off in 4x4. It worked for me in 6" of snow. It was on and would not allow me to fishtail, even when trying. I turned it partially off and I fishtailed all over the place.

To the OP and the comment about this truck being slow, if you wanted something fast, buy a lighter vehicle with more HP. Its a truck. I estimate, from other threads, the TRX-4 should be able to run a 14.5-15 second quarter. That is great news for me.

I understand 4x4 u lose some speed, but it seems or feels my 06 ram was sooo much quicker and faster. I've had the 09 for 3 months now so maybe it will grow on me. I read all your post and try all the different things you guys find. Well enough from me I'll see you around!!!
I completely agree with you about the TRX's power. I traded in my 06 4.7 Big Horn for my TRX and have noticed the 09's "get up and go" isn't near as good as the 06's. I mean, I knew I wasn't getting a Hemi but for a truck they practically rebuilt from the ground up, I honestly expected more power than this!

But aside from that, I'm really having a hard time finding anything I don't like about my TRX that I can't fix fairly easily.

The new trucks are faster than the old ones, even if they don't feel like it.

The traction control is beneficial and saves lives for like 98 - 99% of drivers. So that's why it's there.
