The NEW 5.7L HEMI with eTorque
- Thread starter redriderbob
- Start date
Thinking 23 is for the 2x4, like the sticker a few posts above.Hmmm that one says 23 but the numbers they just came out with is 22....I want the 23
The v6 says 27, which I would guess is also 2x4.
The #14 (fine print) says results based on mfg testing. I received this in the mail about 1 month ago, presumably before EPA numbers hit.

My bad. I was surprised When I received it in the mail. I figured others had it as it looked like a mass mailing. It was unofficial MPG too, since only mfg testing and not EPA. Ram indicated that etorque wasn't targeted as efficient as much as torque for towing. Still I recall them saying around 10% estimated improvement in their testing. All it indicates is the hwy number. I would think the combined would be better, as depicted in the new window stickers.
Anyone near Detroit that has some spare time, this dealer claims to have an ETorque truck on their lot

The hood badges appear to read "Hemi 5.7" like all others in the dealership photos.
Bobbi, can you call them up and ask for more pictures

Lol - I'm good. Anyone can call them and ask for more photos.

Wonder why they didn't cool the Hemi with coolant like the Pentastar rather than air cooled.

They may I remember they offered a heater to warm your windshield washer fluid. It was just a little too expensive though like $300. I guess it would be really cooled when you add the new Ram Air intake like on the Bighorn demo truck.

I wish I would have scene this two days ago. Drove almost right past this place on my way back; to Cincinnati from Put in Bay, Would have been nice to stop and take a test drive.
There are a few more out there that say they have them in stock. Odd that I have seen no reviews yet, is there a media embargo on ETorque?

Yep, where are the reviews?
Those are good questions. My understanding from reading the warranty documents is that the eTorque unit and associated battery (i.e. the "belt driven hybrid starter generator assembly") are covered under the 3/36 warranty (see page 18), not the powertrain warranty. But it is not clear that this "assembly" includes the 48V battery. The owner's manual doesn't address this either.

Seems to be then 36,000 mile warranty is a bit low and I would want an extended warranty on that. From reading about generic hybrid batteries online I would imagine with parts and labor gunna cost 2-4k to replace. Not sure if thats a good source to use though. Especially being released this year I would want a way better warranty.
I'm thinking it's a plug-and-play part, not a traditional hybrid "battery tray" (and way less powerful, too). So I'd be surprised if it's not a DIY replacement, and it shouldn't cost more than a few hundred dollars. But we won't know anything until we have a part number for it.
