What exactly are you hoping to make future buyers aware of? Issues come up with new vehicles, that's what the warranty is for. There were some failures with the 48v battery system on 2019 models, which is kind of expected with a new design. But that doesn't mean failures won't happen with any system. These are very complex vehicles. Outlier failures will happen. Again, that's what the warranty is for. Ram isn't producing any more 1500's without etorque so if a buyer wants to avoid the system they'll have to buy another brand. I get it, having something fail on a new vehicle sucks. And it seems like you're venting out of frustration. But your truck will get fixed under warranty. And the chances that something else goes bad in the near future are actually very low.

Could you be more wrong? E Torque is an option on the 5.7L and it’s extra.

Not on 23 and 24 RAM 1500 models. It’s standard with the Hemi - (not sure on the 6). It may be an option on some Classic (Gen4) models with the 5.7.

You might want to fact check yourself. Etorque was an option on 2019 thru 2022 models, and did cost extra on 2019 and 2020 models, but starting with 2021 and up there was no extra charge for it. Starting in 2023 you can't get a Hemi without it unless you move up to a 2500.
