    About a month ago I noticed (maybe it has done it the whole time but I’ve never noticed) that when cruising about 55-60 and then moderately accelerating the truck will jerk pretty hard as it presumably downshifts.

    Is this common? ‘24 27,000 miles

    it doesn’t do it at other speeds or all the time. It’s a very specific acceleration/speed combo and even then it’s random.

    My '23 is the smoothest shifting drivetrain of any vehicle I've owned in every driving condition.

    What driving mode do you use? I have noticed that Sport mode tends to have more noticeable shifts. Tow and Tow-plus modes even more so. I use Normal mode 90% of the time.

    @Eurodriver do you have a hybrid (i-force max) or non-hybrid (i-force)?

    Non hybrid. I usually drive in eco mode.

    My 25 hybrid is about the "clunkiest" transmission I've driven.

    Other than the 3-1 downshift experience, I haven't had any complaints. The 10 speed takes some getting used to because the TC locks after about every shift.
