The Travato / RAM ProMaster vans are famous (or infamous) for their super snappy throttle curve at low speeds. The van’s computer is set to deliver a hefty surge of power the moment you touch the gas. Trying to ease forward slowly? Well, the Promaster decides how much power gets sent to the wheels, and it’s often way more than you actually want. This sudden jump can send traction boards and leveling blocks skittering out from under your tires, making precise, controlled movement nearly impossible. It’s not your driving, it’s baked into the van’s electronic throttle mapping.
