Unless I've missed a press release, there is no true hybrid ram. The hemi eTorque is the mildest of mild hybrids. It can add 140 lb.ft of torque measured at the crank, but engine management is tuned in such a way that total output is the same regardless if you have eTorque on your hemi or not. What eTorque mostly does is take those micro changes in throttle that you make during a highway cruise and deliver the power via electric rather than gas. This means the Hemi can stay in 4-cylinder mode much longer and much more often. They've also used it to do some magic with the transmission to make shifting butter smooth. It's CVT smooth aside from seeing the tach needle swing. I had a Wagoneer rental with the 6.4 eTorque for a trip to Florida two Decembers ago. Even with the motorcycle on the back, it managed 20 mpg in "enthusiastic" highway driving. The regular turbo-v6 from Toyota suffers the same issue that the Ford Ecoboost does. You can have Eco or you can have Boost... but not both at the same time. That said, the Toyota iForce-Max massively outpowers the Ram 5.7 so much that it isn't even close to a fair fight. It has 437 horsepower and 583 lb-ft of torque verse 395 horsepower and 410 lb-ft of torque for the eTorque Hemi and still gets 2-mpg better. The Tundra has an entire Camry 4-cylinder of extra torque under the hood compared to the Ram.

Which would be a problem with GM product planning in the past 20 years. The filled the Saturn and Buick lineups with Opels and Chinese built crossovers, just because they were making them someone else, and needed product for American showrooms, even if they weren't the right product for the brand. Did the same thing with the Holden Pontiacs. Just keep rebadging mediocre product rather than building class leading product. I start to wonder if GM will be here in 10 years. I thought their move into EV's would be faster and they could at least somewhat compete with Tesla and beat out the Japanese makes. Now Mary says they won't make profit on EV's until 2030. Tesla will be so far ahead by then, it will be too late.
