While my Ram was in the shop recently I rented a car and they gave me a Grand Cherokee with eTorque. The only difference I noted was when I first got into it I pushed the start button nothing happened. What the…? Pushed it again. Nothing. Pushed it a third time. Nothing. Then the light bulb in my head flickered. Put it into Drive and drove away. Also, there was no engine shutoff at red lights.

Incandescent. Haven't found a conversion kit that isn't cheap Chinese crap and I'm not putting cheap Chinese crap in this head.

It adds substantial weight (battery+motor/alternator), complexity, and the battery WILL need to be replaced in 5-10 years at an unknown future cost.

Opposite here. I once had a philosophy:

Order exactly what you want and buy new, then keep as long as possible (20y/150kmi).

But I worry about what it will be like to maintain a 10-20y old computerized vehicle.

You wait, next will be subscription services to keep your vehicle running and you won't have a choice! How many of you "own" MS Office?!?!? :mad:

Well, to further your point--anyone who bought MS Office before they tried to shove Office 365 subscriptions down everyone's throat does actually own their copy... seems the trend crosses industries--the older stuff is easier to own free and clear. With office, they haven't added any new essential feature in well over a decade if not two. If you want to access your files across multiple devices--there are plenty of solutions to that that don't require a subscription-model word processor... (smh).

With cars--they've also not really added any new essential features in a long time so not really missing out on anything by keeping something older for longer there either.

Our first new Ram was a 95 then 01, 03, 99(used) 13 and now the 24 all of them new except the 99 because I wanted a solid front axle truck, drove it until the frame rotted out and then bought the 13 which I still have that one and the 24

I started with the 2005 Ram, then 2012, 2018 and finally the 2024 Classic . All exceptional trucks and everyone had the Hemi.
