YEP! Just 'tip' the keyfob fully over to the start position and release. The truck will continue to crank/start even if key is released before it starts.
Basically, the same thing as push-button starting,,, except you twist the fob to close the circuit instead of pushing a button.
I thought the same thing at first when i got my truck.
But now i have the push button start, i`ll never own another vehicle without it.
Its really nice NOT having to fumble with keys and whatnot... BUT i`m old ya know
may seem like a silly question but do you guys wait for the fuel pump to kick over 1st then start the truck I have had so many older vehicles its just 2nd nature for me to still do this but do i still need to do this to help the wear n tear on the truck?

i've owned 5 dodge ram trucks and never once visited a dealer for service. my 2014 will be the first one when i go to the dealer for it's first oil change. my one and only chevy had constant electrical problems so i got rid of it and got my 14 ram.
my only dodge problem was with a fuel pump after 130,000 miles.

I got one of the first Gen 2 Rams when they first came out in late '93. Actually got good service from the dealer. Had to have two water pumps, one fuel pump and a serpentine belt. I don't consider that bad since that was over a 21 year/293,000 mile life. It was still better than a Chevy when I got rid of it.
Funny. I have heard all the "why Chevy is better" by two family members with newer Chevy 2500 Deisel trucks. Both have been nothing but trouble from their "superior" Alison transmission to the engine and associated electrical troubles. They shift like crap when they do run, get 17mpg from a deisel and the interior squeeks and rattles on even the best highways. They feel like a 20 year old farm truck. There is nothing revolutionary or premium about them. I guess if you purposely were trying to avoid or was scared of technology then the Chevy might be your truck. Older guys scared of technology is a big demographic of Chevy truck buyers.
I chalk it up to old Chevy brainwashing and blind brand loyally.
I turn the key to "on" until the evic lights finish their thing then tap the start position. I like the push button on/off I've used in rental cars. I really like the models where you don't even have to insert the fob...as long as it's in range the car will start (I think that was on a Lincoln MKX rental car).
