Perfect.
Vehicle: 2016 Ram 1500 2WD 5.7 Hemi I actually waited a few hours after installing and testing this to write a review so I wouldn't just spew expletives about how incredible this little thing is. I researched it well before buying. Owners who had it. Loved it. Those who didn't were skeptical. I bought it. Was very skeptical. Especially for $300. When I got the box I was pleasantly surprised. It's the little things, but the box was nice, the decals that came with it are nice, even the alcohol wipes are Pedal Commander branded. It might sound stupid, but little quality details say something about a product to me. Install took 5 minutes. And most of that was contorting myself into the floor of my truck to get at the pedal plug. I did as the instructions state, keep proximity key 35ft away from vehicle for 5 minutes. I also shut off the dome light and left the door open for that time as well for all electronics to go to sleep. Hooked up, put it in the top range Sport + 4 because, of course you would. Backed out of the driveway, put it in drive, cautiously pressed the throttle expecting a little more 'zip'... rear tires spun. Hard. I spent the next half hour driving around testing the different settings, all the while yelling "WHAT?!? WHAT?!?" I was just blown away by it. The truck can be a straight up ANIMAL, or a street cruiser by tapping a few buttons now. No check engine light. No issues what so ever. I HATE how modern Ram 1500's drive stock with the MDS / Eco mode. It's garbage and undrivable in my opinion. I'd been engaging the manual option to eliminate the fall on your face fueling the truck comes with. This eliminates that. I was almost about to go the Diablo route of buying an $1100 new ECU and tuner to get the truck to operate the way I knew it wanted too. So in that regard the $300 bucks this cost is a steal. I rarely go all crazy with reviews for things, I'm usually "Works as advertised." "Solid product." But this one made me sit down and write it out. My only concern was the programmer would sort to a default setting when I turned the truck off. But it doesn't, it remembers where you left it. I could not be happier. Period.
