2022 2500 Tradesman Transmission Downshift Issue

I did a couple of searches for this but did not come up with anything, hopefully this is not a duplicate topic.

This past week our 2022 2500 Tradesman started shifting harder than usual, it has 10,000 miles on it, mostly country and highway driving with half the time pulling a goose neck horse trailer. Just had some friends in town and did a lot of city and highway driving for several days, and I just thought it was the TCU learning the new driving habits.

Today I hooked the trailer to it, the up-shifting was fine, as was most of the down shifting, but going from 3rd to 2nd in T/H mode really shifted hard, basically banging into gear. I tried a couple different ways of slowing down, early, late and with the steering wheel gear selector. 75% of the time banged into gear, even doing so without the trailer in T/H mode.

Anyone else have this problem? Is there any additional information as to what could be causing this?

I am still hopeful it's re-learning, but the more it does it, the more I think it's something else.

I get a occasional harsh downshift while in th as well. I believe it’s new since the CP4 recall, they did reflash the computer.

I don't believe my truck was part of the CP4 recall, and I have not had it to the dealership yet.
