    Not sure if this is an issue or just by design or just me-I notice on my 2011 Limited that after coasting-regardless of speed, giving even the lightest of light throttle results in what seems to be too aggressive of a response in acceleration. It's more noticeable on the freeway. In all other cars/trucks I have driven it's been very smooth transition going from coasting to light throttle-almost imperceivable. Could be my OCD or just how these AWD systems work, dirty throttle body, worn throttle position sensor? Not sure. Anyone else feel this?

    Really, at highway speed when I am coasting my 2011 will gain speed at its own pace no matter what I do to the throttle.
    Now if I am at parking lot speed around 20mph , it jumps with just a feather touch of the throttle .

    Ok thanks. So just by design.

    My 4th Gen V8 had a very aggressive tip-in, but my 2019 is just the opposite and the reason why so many people look to throttle controllers like Sprint Booster and Pedal Commander to reduce sluggishness. This might be the first time I have heard of oversensitive throttle response on a 5th Gen.

    you’re going to make a bunch of people jealous

    Tip in. That's the term I was looking for. I wish the sensitive pedal during tip in continued through out the range, unfortunately it does not.
