There's been a LOT of past discussion on this. Some of us really wanted eTorque, for various reasons; some are ambivalent about it, and don't see much benefit; some were dead-set against it, as they perceived it to be a reliability gamble.Hi guys, Dealer says that as of today, Level 2 equipment group needs to be purchased with etorque engine. Those who have it, is it worth the extra $1200? thanks

Etorque? Worth it?
I just test drove a Laramie with this engine; the sales person didn't seem to know too much about it. I know how to drive a car and that is about it; so should I cough up the 2200 or so or is it not worth it? In the near future we are planning on getting a 25 - 30 foot trailer and I think this...5thgenrams.com

So far disappointed with 5.7 etorque mileage, but how much does it really cost???
My last truck was a 2016 F150 Super crew, lariat 2.7 twin turbo. Similar sized to my Laramie Longhorn, similar performance got 19MPG. My Laramie Longhorn has me running for gas more often, I'm getting about 16MPG. I wish I had the bigger tank! So, at what cost? I do about 12K miles per...5thgenrams.com

eTorque worth it?
Hi guys, I’m in Canada and have waited forever to get my hands on a Sport eTorque. My hopes have been crushed several times over the course of an entire year and I’m wondering if I should just go with the Hemi. Any thoughts on really loving the eTorque?5thgenrams.com

can I bug you eTorque owners again?
I see myself placing an order soon and am 99% sure to go with eTorque. Overall I think the system is safe and beneficial for certain uses, including my own, but few niggles remain. Forgive me if all of this has already been discussed somewhere. I tend to believe the motor/generator unit (MGU)...5thgenrams.com
Thanks for all the info! I do find it odd that currently you have to purchase etorque option if you want the level 2 package.
You wouldn’t care. It’s that smooth. But I can see a ‘hybridized’ future where you’ll miss these eTorque trucks...”at least they still had a real V8!”Put me in the camp of not wanting it. I despise start/stop tech (at least on every vehicle I've ever driven that has it).
Perhaps the RAM's is so smooth that I wouldn't care. Will have to drive one when it's time to get a new one. Sounds like I will not have a choice anyway...
Cheers,

That's awesome. Makes me feel better about my next RAM, which will inevitably have this.My ex has a Mercedes GLC300. It has Start/Stop and I hate it. Before that, she had a Mercedes GLA250. That had Start/Stop and I hated it. Before that, she had a '15 Jeep Cherokee with Start/Stop. I hated that one's, too. She also hates it in all of them. Her (and my, in her cars) habit is to start the car, hit the button to turn off Start/Stop, then start driving.
The eTorque Start/Stop in my truck does not bother me at all. Not even a little bit.
Overall, I'm glad I have eTorque.
LOL... No doubt!!!That video with the RAM product specialist was great. I had no idea how sophisticated the e-torque system is on this truck. RAM should move some of the powertrain engineers over to the HVAC department![]()
