Yeah, Dodge changes the shift points and keeps the torque converter locked more. It helps you if you're willing to be more gentle on the throttle (meet it halfway, you know?).

I leave ours on except in major hills or when towing in hills. Then it's best to just give the unit free rein and do its job.

Eco mode is just another tool. Find out what yours does and you may find it useful.
