I wonder if the fact that you can't buy a truck without eTorque lends to Ram's decline? They ruined eTorque in the 2022 models and, sadly, I won't be buying another eTorque Ram so my only option is to go to the competition.

We tent camped Acadia about 30 years ago. We would like to go back sometime. Thanks for the pics.

We pull a camper which means I have to align my hitch to the tongue of the camper. If I go too far back and have to shift back to D to pull forward, I cannot feather the brakes to slightly move ahead. I'm talking 1/4 inch, 1/2 inch of movement necessary to align. By the time the truck moves, I'm...

I know of alot of trucks that do it so you may be right. I know my dealer has no choice but to call it "normal", else they would open a star case with Ram. All I can say is that when someone asks me how I like the eTorque, I always tell them "let's take a drive and you decide". They come away...

I don't know. My biggest problem is convincing the dealer that this is an issue. Actually that's not true. They understand my issue. They witness the issue. They can duplicate the issue. Their hands are tied because other trucks on their lot have the same issue and they say Ram will not do...

I had this done last summer. Yes, there was an improvement. It improved coasting to a stop in some situations like entering parking spaces. It did not fix everything. Everytime I go to the dealer I ask if there are any more updates.

You are describing my "problem" when going from P to D exactly. The clunk you feel is the transmission dropping into gear. It's supposed to do that while your foot is on the brake and you shift from P to D. That's completely normal. That's what I feel with Tow/Haul Mode ON and you feel as well...

I have not checked it myself. It's been in the shop on several occasions relating to this problem and they assure me it's not a transmission fluid issue. I have made it a point to ask about it. Perhaps I shouldn't be taking their word for it but I think I have a decent relationship with them and...

I don't have the same problem you described after a cold start. My truck shifts fine once it is actually in gear. But everything else you described is something I have experienced. Hesitation on rolling stops is a 100% everytime event.

That weird lag you describe is also a problem in my truck. It was also a problem in my 2019. Rolling stops or quick stops are almost impossible. Funny you mentioned cold. My truck exhibits none of the symptoms I described when its cold, like first start in the morning cold. Only in the fall...

In my experience, I agree that disabling Stop/Start doesn't disable eTorque , but I disagree that Tow/Haul mode doesn't. It certainly disables it in my truck.

So let me try to explain this. BTW it's not a GT thing. I mis-spoke earlier. My son has a 22 Rebel with dial shifter and it acts the same way. When I shift from P to D, every vehicle I've ever owned makes the shift to Drive and I can feel the vehicle drop into gear and the drivetrain is...

No offense taken. But I disagree. I have a GT so maybe it's different. My eTorque, even with the button pushed to turn it off, disengages the drivetrain at stops. The engine doesn't turn off, but the effects of the eTorque on the drivetrain remain.

Yes, I understood that.

Yes, tight parking spaces are dangerous. My eTorque Hemi doesn't move until I'm half way off the brake, then it lurches forward as the driveline engages. Every vehicle I've ever owned allowed you to creep as you feather the brake. Only way to totally disengage the eTorque is to put it in...

If you move to a Ford, will you continue to post your adventures here?

My advice would be to try to buy a used one that does not have the eTorque Stop/Start system. I had a 2019 with the eTorque and generally liked it. They changed how it operates for the 2022 model and I now dislike it. My son bought his 2022 at the same time as I did and he dislikes it too. I...

With so many campgrounds you visit, I'm curious how connecting to and from the camper will go with the ProPride. They say there's a knack to it. Please keep us updated. I purchased a ProPride last year but haven't installed it yet.

I've had my 1500 GT for a year now. This is my third Ram 1500 in a row, but if Ram engineering doesn't fix these issues it could be my last. Now I hear you can't even get one without eTorque. A software update improved my Stop/Start function some but this acceleration delay after a stop is very...

That's a good point about the trial ending. Mine recently ended also. I haven't noticed any of the other issues you're having though.
