To be honest, when i ordered my 22, i didn't actually want the eTorque... it was a forced "upgrade" when i added the G/T pkg. Now that i've had it about 2 yrs i can def agree with that vid.
The rev matching/shifting stuff is definitely good, and noticeable between this truck and the others i've had. i also do like the way it restarts w/o the annoying starter noise that most stop/start vehicles have to deal with. But the mileage? meh, negligible at best. and i feel like it's been a popular comment that when you come to a stop where the engine doesn't shut off, the hesitation in the engine is terrible... very noticable difference from an etorque assisted start. is almost as if no matter what, the engine is waiting for that first 1/2 turn assist from the EG.
Just a crappy space between hitting the gas, and something happening. It's literally why i dont just shut off the stop/start all the time, cuz with the assist... its fine... def not any better than you'd expect - more like "how it should be" so when its not there it makes it a drag. and the battery pack? its like its not even there... at least give us some eye candy "mild hybrid" pages in the UC5 - esp if its alotta marketing. otherwize how do we even know the status/life/performance of the battery pack until it fails?
Lastly, I'm not one to really have faith in a hot-rodded 6-cyl in a full sized truck yet personally, but i have no experience with it to this point. but i am def gonna go test drive one when they start showing up on lots tho, cuz i'm very interested in what the differences will be.
