Anyone getting a 2025 with the I6 Hurricane?

The starters used in vehicles with s/s are heavy duty designed for the extra work, and the life cycle is in the hundreds of thousands of start cycles.

Here's an example. Granted this is for Toyota, but the same principle applies. Toyota has a cycle counter built in that will pop a check engine light for starter replacement once it hits that threshold.
To contextualize that number, 384,000 restarts equates to more-than 21 starts every single day for 50 years. Now, this doesn’t necessarily mean that the starter motors will last that many cycles, but that’s the built-in point when Toyota requires your starter to be replaced.

This is what I feel as well. Just as in Formula One everything was built on the ragged edge of balance speed vs durability, so to do auto manufactures juggle the cost vs durability equation.
When the call came for a starter that had a multitude of previous starter's durability, it was easily achieved by sacrificing a little cost to make the compromise. The technology was already in place.

I think I either said something in a backwards way or you just misunderstand what I am saying.
The auto start\stop feature is ONLY on trucks WITH eTorque.
eTorque itself is BETTER then WITHOUT eTorque for trucks that preform the auto start\stop becuase it spreads the stress across other systems vs the starter.
Thus that is why I expect a higher failure rate on the components that will not be dealing with the A/SS on the 2025s since eTorque is no more.

Yes

Stress that was not on the starter on the 2019-2024 due to eTorque.


I don't and never have thought the eTorque, as silly a system as it would ever causes problems with the 12V battery, in fact the opposite, it would\should help prolong the other parts, and unlike an alternative comes with an 80k mile warranty.

eTorque goes hand and hand with A/SS. You don't get A/SS on a non-eTorque Ram 1500, both systems are 100% intertwined.

It's just not worth the effort. :rolleyes:
 
Not sure if its the truck's fault or just how batteries are made.
My nissan truck eats batteries and have to replace it every 3 year or 4 if lucky.

Modern electrical systems do far more work than they have in the past.
Batteries are an expendable item. A lot or cars have gone to smaller and lighter batteries than what was previously used.

Are you getting a 2025 with the I6 Hurricane?​

 
I wonder what batteries the 2025s come with. Anyone know if it's AGM or Lithium? Might be a silly question, but I haven't bought a new car since like 2017.

I don't think any care, other than EV/Hybrids have lithium batteries from factory
 
The alternators that do more work than ever before too.
The batteries do a lot more charge, discharge. Are there any engineers here to tell us if the batteries are more affected by age or charge cycles?

At the risk of quickly turning this into a battery thread, that is a good question: Age vs Duty Cycles.
I'm sure there are many other variables too.
But,

I got a Big Horn with a few options (hurricane, night edition, off road group )

By chance, was this a quad cab or crew? I have this exact package in a ‘21 with a Hemi but I’m very interested in driving a new SST. Of course, my next truck also would need to be PR4, night edition and off road group with 3.92 gears. Just curious on real numbers out the door you may have signed for.

If you do get a 2025 with the I6 Hurricane, what battery are you getting for it?
 
Whatever it comes with. My Laramie 2015 battery lasted nearly 5 years. Normally I would change a battery even if no problems by 4 years unless reason to do it sooner.

Crew cab. I had a 2018 Big Horn I loved, but I was driving 50+ miles a day back and forth to work so I sold it when gas prices skyrocketed a few years ago for a commuter car. I’m excited to be back in a truck.

Real numbers came in under the starting MSRP for a Laramie and I got everything I wanted in it package wise.

The only hang up I have about the hurricane is it won’t sound like a hemi. Other than that I have no issue with turbos (wife has a 2020 expedition and it’s smooth and powerful). And if I hate it I’ll sell it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Makes sense. Do you know if they're at least AGM? Surely they wouldn't be the old flooded batteries.

Not sure about latest OEM batts but if buying you might keep in mind and compare the latest EFB type batts.
 
Spoke with my local dealer a few days ago Re: vehicle arrival and whether if I preordered a Limited today or waited until they start shipping he said either way it would likely take 3-4 months to get vehicle. I will give it another few weeks and recheck the wind. I'm begining to think either way I wouldn't see a vehicle until at least September. Hope I'm wrong.

I hope your wrong, I need my truck by the end of June at the latest. Otherwise Mark Dodge is going to keep my deposit for my Tungsten. I'll just move over to a Raptor at that point.
