Can you order new 1500 without e-torque?

Freind, I am not a troll, but I am inquisitive, especially on the workings of todays motors/technology = i research and speak to mechanics

I have owned trucks most my life and I am 65.
My first RAM was a NEW 2007 2500 Quad Cab 4WD 8ft Bed 5.9L Cummins = LOVED that Truck
Years later things changed and I did not need the diesel so I sold it and went back to gas.

Last year I purchased a 2022 RAM 1500 HEMI = Thanks to the many wonderful RAM owners on this forum, like yourself.

Before I purchased the 2022 HEMI, I was on this forum asking questions to which @Wild one @RamDiver @mikeru were very helpful.
We talked about the Hurricane as that was my first choice.
It was the members on this forum that helped sway me to the HEMI (non-eTorque)

Found one with only 2,300 miles and flew down to North Carolina where it was located at a CDJR Dealership.
My wife, son and I loved driving this 2022 HEMI home.
Interestingly, my 2007 RAM 2500 Cummins also was from North Carolina as there did not exist one in NJ as they were all sold out by November.

So thank you for your input in making Ramforum a great place for RAM owners to inquire and post.

FYI - I was so IMPRESSED by the 2026 SST that I was READY to sell my 2022 and jump into a Hurricane
But that was test drives.
I have always waited for New & Improved to have at least 4 years in production to gather feedback for my purchase decision.
5th Year out seems to be when the ice is thick enough to drive on.

Thanks Again KB

Your negative BS is trolling. Move along, find
another place to play...........

Yep, you’re right. I probably contributed to that, but I just don’t like folks throwing out unsubstantiated claims.
I think I’ve proven my point that @David Tree doesn’t know what he’s talking about (in regards to the hurricane…not sure about other topics), so I’ll leave it alone.

No. They are being built to replace workers. There's no big conspiracy here, it's real simple and it's really overt as they are literally announcing what they are doing in investor news releases. It's money that used to be for wages now being for investors. Finance and tech companies have already laid off tens of thousands of workers to replace them with AI. Amazon alone has cut something close to 20k jobs and says they'll cut about about half a million in total between robots replacing warehouse workers and AI replacing desk jobs. Think what happens with automated driving tech displaces all the professional drivers. Some may be replaced with low paid "monitors" riding in the vehicle, but how many middle class jobs is that alone? From semi trucks to forklifts....huge chunk of middle class jobs are right on the edge of going ****** like mining did. There's no new jobs for those people. This isn't the industrial revolution creating more jobs than it destroyed.

Avoiding politics here and focusing just on economics, this is an acceleration of the ongoing trend to concentrate more and more wealth in fewer and fewer hands. NAFTA shafted the middle class. Wal-mart replaced GM as the largest employer in the US and the wage difference is huge. If NAFTA was a rowboat capsizing, this is the Titanic nearing the iceberg.

This nails it completely: Previous revolutions let humans leverage their skills and intelligence; this one proposes to destroy that ability to sell your congnitive skills permanently.

I don't work in the Electrical trade right now but do have my license. Most of the reason you can't find electricians around here is the data center buildup, but when that's over, it will be unbelievably bad for the trades and most workers in general. Imagine no new data centers (existing ones are virtually maintenance free), a deep recession, no commercial real estate or associated maintenance and construction and everyone trying to get jobs in the trades. Yikes!
