I haven't seen a straight answer on this so wanted to ask.
Do we get the 470lbs torque all day no matter the situation, or if the electric battery is say at 20% then we get the much lower torque (~300lbs range)?
I've read that the 470 lbs torque is only on hybrid (needs electric and gas power combined), some saying its only when electric is 100%, etc. So lots of different views. These are the various things I've read so far:
"470 torque is combined engine and electric motor from all I've read. You have less torque when running electric only but again it is all instantly available. Our first video from one of our esteemed forum members said he was pleasantly surprised by the all electric pickup. Also, if you stomp (probably not a full stomp) on it in all electric the motor comes on so you get the 470. This is a parallel hybrid system, not a serial hybrid system"
"The 4XE makes 6-7% more torque than his 3.0 diesel, though the 4XE should have instant torque and a better curve vs his diesel as an additional bonus. However, that's at 100% charge. The 4XE will lose 5% charge PER MILE when running on the battery (probably 7-8% in the real world, and 8-12% per mile in the cold winter), and with each % it loses, it will also lose torque."
So to me it sounds like the Diesel with 442 lbs torque might have more torque all day since its 442 lbs all the time??
Or the 4xe will always have more than the Diesel in any scenario because 470 > 442?
