RPMs are high when braking/downshifting? (Hard downshifts)

I have a 2020 Big Horn and have just turned over 3k. Today more than ever I noticed when coming to a stop or slowing down without my foot on the gas pedal, it’s almost as if the truck is rev matching when downshifting. The RPMs are high as it drops through gears as if I am manually shifting. I did put premium gas in it this week for the first time
which I doubt has anything to do with it (just curious if it runs any different) I did notice when up shifting and accelerating it feels slightly smoother but I’ve never noticed the down shifts as much as I did today. I’ve heard this was common with the 2019 models, something to do with the transmission needing to be reset/relearned. Wondering if it’s still a problem with the 2020’s? Was thinking about getting the first oil change done soon as well as having the A/C looked at because it does feel rather weak as they say. Just wondering if anyone has had success with fixing said issue?

Hi @5ThGenFlexin - We certainly understand why this would be concerning. If you are not able to determine a solution based on suggestions from fellow forum members and you decide to address this with your Ram dealer, please be sure to follow up with us via private message. We would be more than happy to escalate your situation to a specialist who can work alongside you and your dealer while your truck is in service.
