Real world mpg with hemi etorque

Read the literature. ETorque is primarily beneficial in city stop and go droving.

Stop being a tool bag. I don't need to read the literature, because that's exactly what I have been saying. However, some of the Ram propaganda about eTorque was started with this video that was shot 4 years ago.

That's not true. The traditional starter is what starts the vehicle cold. The eTorque motor starts it during stop/start.

Mine has a pull start like a lawnmower for cold starts

You should upgrade to the crank that sticks out the bumper.

Actually, the etorque generator/starter is the starter. There is no separate starter in the etorque system.

Wrong

That's the problem with the internet.....any idiot can post anything, and people believe it.

Hi
I been looking for a new truck
I'm interested in the ram 1500 Laramie with 4x2 an the hemi etorque engine
For those of yall that have a 4x2 truck with this engine
What kind of mpg yall getting with it
Seems all the post I can find about mpg are with 4x4 trucks

I have a 2020 Rebel 5.7 eTorque 4WD. Through almost 60K miles on the stock Duratracs I have averaged about 16mpg. I would think a 4x2 non-lifted Ram on street tires would get around 20mpg average if you drive it reasonably. I can get around 17-18mpg if I baby it and stay mostly highway 50-80mph.
ETA: I have 3.92 gears and don't tow anything.
