2023 Limited with 50,000 miles. Built early 23. No etorque issues. Bad clock spring results in blinker not returning to neutral without a full turn. Love this truck!

2019 Laramie 5.7 with Etorque 88,600 miles no etorque problems at all yet. Bought it new in June of 2019. Only issues are, recently my 12” screen will blink/flash on and off (not always and it seems to be some kind of interference because it doesn’t do it while off the throttle) and I have had a battery drain problem. Something drains the battery DEAD! Has happened 3 times so far. Two other times I noticed the instrument cluster was on and the 12” screen was backlit while the truck was sitting, untouched for hours. Disconnected the battery overnight cause the panels would not turn off no matter what I tried.

My dad had a 2019 limited with etorque and his drained the battery so often that he always keept a charger on it while parked. Something would drain his battery dead in less than 4 hours. He finally traded it in. He never had any etorque problems.

The old adage that the squeaky wheel is easy to hear is certainly true. The other four are quiet, because nothing is wrong, although there are more of them. I really think that the vast majority of eTorques are without issues. Whether they are worth the expense is a totally different question, and for the cost, I don't think it is a break even situation. If it had been an option I probably wouldn't have ordered it, but it was on the lot, and so it's what I got.

No issues on my 23 with eTorque so far after 30 months but miles are low. Only real issues to date have been small leak at the rear window that I cured myself and the left turn signal canceling that took a vacation for a couple of months before returning to work.
Having an issue with a leaking rear window in mine. It was replaced in Sept, but leaking again.

How did you fix yours?

2023 Limited 5.7 eTorque 42k miles. Purchased new end of March, 2023, so exactly 3 years old. Occasional short-distance towing. Driven regularly (several times per week), 10+ miles each way to town and back. Also has made several 5k mile trips. Very little ciity or stop-and-go driving, always turn off golf cart mode. No issues with eTorque but have just replaced leather dash.

I bought some double tube rubber weatherstripping at Lowe’s and split it down the middle so it was a single tube piece and used popcycles sticks to wedge it into place down behind the glass out of sight. Blurry photo.

Ugh - hate to hear you had leather dash problems on a 23. I had hoped they had a cure for that by then. I at least use my sun shade anytime I park it outside the garage but I’m not sure how much good that does overall.

I just got a 2026 hemi with Etorque, I get nervous reading about the electric motor and battery. Say a prayer for my truck hopefully it has lots of trouble free miles like the ones in this thread.

Thank you. Actually heading to Lowe’s when the wife gets home. Will
Look for this while I pickup some grass seed and mulch.
