    2022 5.7 ETorque Tow/Haul Mode defect

    According to RAM, the E-torque is activated for the AUTO-START feature rather than engine starter having to start engine ,then move vehicle. and assists transition into MDS ECO mode [ 4 cylinder] and provides additional torque under load up to 2000rpm where engine torque is low . All this is...

    2022 5.7 ETorque Tow/Haul Mode defect

    its usually earlier models with glitches, not later.. good to hear theres a simple cure for the issue. The E-TORQUE adds extra torque at low speeds with heavy loads . It would suck to not take advantage of the design

    2022 5.7 ETorque Tow/Haul Mode defect

    Thats odd, my 2021 E-Torque Hemi has no such issue.. It tows like a beast. I have a multitude of trailers and 2 campers ,from a 1500lb single axle utility , to 7500lb Forest River and up to my Hyd Dump that weighs 12,00lbs loaded .. It tows every one effortlessly .. My previous GMC Seirra was...

    my Hemi-E Torque is smooth as glass on AUTO-START .. and when transitioning V8 to ECO mode.. unless I really pay attention, I dont even notice it .. There certainly should not be any loud noise

    Quick oil recommendations

    I have used MOBIL ONE EP for decades in all my work trucks.. every single one went 275-300 K mikes of towing trailers ,trouble free and no oil consumption between changes .. In my opinion you just cannot beat it

    2022 5.7 fuel economy 10 mpg city ???

    maybe you should use the miles you drove divided by the gallons you use to get actual mpg, instead of relying on the truck to tell you .. or learn to drive better

    Toy Haauler towing question

    If your "tail is wagging the dog" as you say, its mostly because your load is centered to far rearward on axles ., not the trucks rating.. easily corrected by rearranging cargo

    Better MPG with higher octane?

    0w 20 oil, to my surprise
