I’d avoid the etorque also.Just specked out a 2023 1500. All 1500s are e-torque now. No more non e-torque 5.7s . Leaning heavily towards keeping my 2019 now.
I don't want to speak for them, but many people are of the opinion that the etorque system adds complexity that could and probably will have issues down the road. Just more things to break after the warranty expires, which means they'd be paying to repair a system they don't want. Especially if the type of driving you do doesn't include a lot of city type driving. For me, etorque didn't save me any fuel because I don't really have any long stop lights or stop signs on my daily commute. The etorque system gives your vehicle stop/start, which is really the only part of it that can save fuel. But again, only if you regularly sit at a stop for any length of time. I had etorque on my last truck, and I bought a device to turn stop/start off until I wanted to turn it back on.so I am ignorant but the idea of an e-torque is good. So enlighten a lost soul, why so down on e-torque?
How much does it cost to replace the battery and other parts of the etorque system ?so I am ignorant but the idea of an e-torque is good. So enlighten a lost soul, why so down on e-torque?
I don’t know the cost but if it’s just a dollar it’s too much for me. It’s a system I’ll never use so why should I pay to have it installed, face repair costs, not if, but when, it fails. Even if I don’t use it it’s integrated into the operating system. When one of its components, most likely it’s dedicated batteries, fail I’ll have to stand the repair costs of something I don’t want and don’t use.How much does it cost to replace the battery and other parts of the etorque system ?
Government monitoring.Yup.
Too many E.P.A. C.A.F.E. gizmos. They're proliferating like flies.
VVT, MDS, Trans Cooler Thermostat, etorque, low vis oil, what else?
I have been curious how the E-Torque could save fuel
It does not engage if the HVAC System is in use.
It does not engage if the Alternator is working, like if you are running over head lights.
There may be other times that it will not engage
Now there are the basics:
a non e-torgue Hemi does not have the WEIGHT of that huge battery, nor does it have that heavy unit sitting inside of the engine compartment
How does EXTRA Weight save fuel ?
I think that a lot of people will be looking at the new Hurricane Engine
How much does it cost to replace the battery and other parts of the etorque system ?
The Build Site is terrible. I went to a dealership.Where did you find the build your own specs. for the 23 models ?
It is not on the RAM site yet. I found the ad, disappointing the new
Hurricane engine is not available. Thats what I was going to go with.
I will not go Etorque either.
Now I'll have to settle for the 702 HP 6.2 Hemi.
well, i will not be buying a 5th Gen Ram, with its extra 100 pounds of useless weight
