Looking at this truck, good deal?

Yeah, I have read all of your other posts. Sorry for your troubles. I hope your dealer gets it worked out soon. Shocking you do not have a loaner to drive. The Limited I am waiting on does not have the 48v system, not by choice, but by dealer leaving it off spec sheet by accident and just ordering the HEMI. After reading your other posts I guess I am thankful for my dealer's mistake. I do not think I would have liked the engine off at stoplights in 110 degree heat either.

It still pumps out good AC it was up around 95+ here and was fine. But yeah don’t get the etorque I’m extremely disappointed with it. No resolution on sight either except me getting pissed, you’d think being a disabled veteran they would be like hey let’s help you out a little but there’s no cash going directly into pocket so no one cares.

2020 Bighorn 4X2, 3.21, 5.7 eTorque and 18” wheels on my truck. No complaints with eTorque at all; start/stop is extremely smooth and the highway mpg has surpassed expectations. My first tank of 75% highway (at 75-80mph) was 18.1 manually calculated (4% lower than the computer). Current tank is showing 23 per the computer. Mine has a 3/14/2020 build date so it is a fairly recent build. Perhaps all of the eTorque issues have been resolved?

Your computer is lying! LOL

What is the AVERAGE from your 440 miles?

Taking an average MPG from a 70 mile "trip o/d" is a false sense of reality.

The truck had 132 miles when I took delivery. The first tank was 233.9 miles, manually calculated to 18.1. The computer showed 18.9.

I am still on the current tank.

You're lucky if it maintains 18! That's the reality.

Skip e-torque if you can... HORRIBLE gas mileage, huge thread on it, i get about 16.5mpg on the highway with my e-torque Limited. 21mpg hahahahaahhahahahahahaha rrrright...

16.5 is pretty good, I am happy with that considering my last Hemi got 14.2 average over 100K+. eTorque does get you better mileage but it is generally only around .25 - .5 MPG

Agreed, I am expecting 15-17 mixed. But my point was to illustrate that reaching near epa figures was possible on an eTorque.

I transferred a truck into my name this morning to get the truck conquest incentive ($1000) that was initially part of the deal. Turns out after I transferred the title the dealer let me know that the truck needs to be in my name for at least 30 days to qualify (which he did not tell me initially) and added $1000 to the price of the truck. I had a flight tomorrow to sign the paperwork and backed out of the deal. I understand this is a RAM incentive and not the dealers issue, but If he wants to sell it, he’ll make it work.

FCA provides dealers with a limited number of “coupons” each month. Some of them are $1k, some are $250/ea. My dealer applied a total of $750 in coupons (which show up on the deal as additional rebate) to make the deal happen.

yeah, I was lucky enough to, ironically, have a deal fall thru last day of the month, and then go thru first day of the next month because dealer had a fresh batch of coupons. I got $2000 in dealer coupons. (I got $7500 rebates/coupons).
