Understanding Ram’s eTorque Mild Hybrid System

If you’re a fan of the iconic Ram 1500 truck, you might be wondering what eTorque is. In 2026, two of the Ram 1500’s powertrain options are boosted by the eTorque mild hybrid system. Here’s an overview of the Ram eTorque system and how it improves your pickup.
How the eTorque Mild Hybrid System Powers Your 1500 Efficiently
The eTorque system is a mild hybrid setup that pairs a small 48-volt electric motor to the 1500’s main V6 or V8 combustion engine. When you start the main engine, the electric motor begins generating electrical energy, much like a traditional alternator, to recharge itself and provide voltage to the 12-volt battery and the rest of the truck.
As you drive, this small electric motor also uses regenerative braking to recharge itself. In this way, the mild hybrid motor efficiently handles all the truck’s electricity-generating needs.

Named after its hemispherical combustion chamber, the HEMI engine is perfect for high-performance vehicles, offering incredible horsepower and torque. The precision engineering means that it’s even more essential to schedule regular Dodge HEMI maintenance at your local dealership.
Prioritize the Cooling System
All HEMI engines have a tendency to run hot, even when they’re operating efficiently, so keeping up with routine maintenance on the cooling system is important. Towing, cruising at high speeds, and idling can especially push the engine temperature higher. Regularly checking and topping off coolant levels is a simple way to help minimize heat.
You should also have a complete coolant flush when the manufacturer recommends, typically every 3–5 years. If the thermostat is providing inconsistent readings, it should be replaced promptly, as being able to gauge an accurate temperature is vital. The dealership should also carry out regular inspections on the radiator, hoses, and water pump.

If you own a Jeep, you’re sure to put its impressive 4×4 capabilities to good use off-road. Along with standard upkeep services, the transfer case, differentials, and other 4×4 system components require specific care to stay in form. Here’s a solid guide to Jeep 4×4 maintenance.
Check the Differential Fluid
The front and rear differentials are crucial in delivering power to each wheel while allowing them to rotate at different speeds over any surface or obstacle. The fluid in each differential should be checked periodically and changed every couple of years. Also, check each differential frequently for leaks, especially after a rigorous off-road adventure.

The world’s first range-extended electric pickup truck, the 2025 Ram 1500 Ramcharger, comes packed with utility and innovation. Some of its features that drivers appreciate include a range-extending generator, a Smartphone as a Key feature, and a large infotainment screen.
Powerful Electric Powertrain
The heart of the Ram 1500 Ramcharger is a groundbreaking electric powertrain that incorporates two motors, a 92-kWh battery, and an onboard generator. Each motor is mounted on a different axle, forming a work-ready electric all-wheel drive (eAWD) system that delivers instantaneous torque to all four wheels. The system’s max output reaches a robust 647 hp and 610 lb-ft of torque, allowing the pickup truck to tow and haul a best-in-class 14,000 lbs and 2,625 lbs, respectively.
What makes the Ram 1500 Ramcharger radically different from other electric vehicles is that it also houses a 3.6L Pentastar V6 under the hood. However, instead of directly powering the wheels, the engine’s mechanical energy is converted into electricity by an onboard generator. Electricity from the generator is used to both recharge the battery on the go and supplement the electric motors when handling a heavy load.
Understanding Dodge SRT Performance Features

Dodge SRT vehicles are high-performing vehicles engineered by the Street & Racing Division (SRT). This specialized group focuses on creating vehicles with extreme horsepower, top-notch handling, and aggressive styling, making them suitable for boundary-pushing performance both on the track and the streets. Let’s dive into a discussion of Dodge SRT features.
Dodge Challenger SRT
The 2023 Challenger SRT came in six proficient models and offered a range of high-output engines. At the heart of the lineup was the Supercharged 6.2L HEMI V8 engine, which, in the SRT Hellcat and Hellcat Widebody, produced 717 hp and 656 lb-ft of torque. A High-Output version of the HEMI V8 generated a massive 797 hp in the SRT Hellcat Redeye model and 807 hp in the Super Stock model, enabling the Super Stock to reach 60 mph in just over 3 seconds.
Several unique performance features contributed to the Challenger SRT’s incredible capabilities. The SRT Power Chiller system used the vehicle’s air conditioning to lower intake air temperatures, resulting in cooler combustion and increased power. The Widebody configuration, either standard or available depending on the trim, expanded the vehicle’s track by 3.5 inches and allowed it to accommodate wider tires and improve grip, stability, and handling.

There’s no better vehicle to take off-roading than a Jeep, and to keep your Jeep a joy to drive, on the road and off it, head to your dealership for some Jeep off-road maintenance.
Keep the Suspension Lubricated
Jeep vehicles come with very powerful suspensions. These suspensions are what protect the entirety of the vehicle and are absolutely essential if you want to have a stable and safe experience. Get in the habit of inspecting the suspension on a regular basis and make sure the joints, rods, and bushings all have the lubrication they need to move smoothly over rough terrain. If you’re not sure how to do this, be sure to ask your dealer to take care of it regularly.
