Ram is trying to make me kill my Transfer Case

[Reverse]

We own both a 2014 Ram, and a 2020 Ram. Both are 4WD. I drive both vehicles, but mostly the 2020.

In its infinite wisdom, Ram has decided to change the layout of the selector buttons for the 4WD system. Since I like to engage 4WD Auto whenever the weather turns nasty during my drive and then disengage it when the weather clears, I have almost gotten into big (and expensive) trouble in the 2014 a few times. Check it out:

Holy crap! Two vehicles 6 years apart have changed in some way!!

I was wondering about that too. I went from a 2017 to my current 2020 and noticed the buttons are rearranged. I don't change the transfer settings often enough to push the buttons without looking at them so it's not really an issue for me. More of a curiosity as to why they changed it.

That would take some getting used too. On an aside I must have gave fwd lock a push the other day shifting into D, noticed strange steering at my first turn.
