Pretty much like the others have said. If you have etorque it is great you won't even notice the ESS. Without etorque ESS sucks. Thankfully you can disable it in Tazer.

I have the 2020 Sahara with the e-torque system. As far as a stop start systems goes, it is one of the best out there. However, it is a pain in the rear end, and I turn it off now out of habit when I first start the jeep. As Reinen said in an earlier post, it works very quietly and does not use the regular starter like other models. Downside is that the 48V battery and the ESS System is only under warranty for 8 years or 80k miles. However, I think the new systems on the 2023 models will be the full hybrid which have larger and much more expensive battery systems. Don't think I would want one of them. I have found gas milage is better with the ESS off. It may cut down omissions, but it does not help milage in my opinion. With it off I get 24-25 mpg around town and with it on, I am getting about 23-24. Of course, it all depends on how hard I push it. I have attached a section of the warranty.Curious what everyone’s opinion is on the start/stop function? This will be the first time I will own one and I’ve been wondering if they are bad on the starter and things like that. I really dislike that they have taking some options away from the Jeeps. You can no longer get a 6 cylinder in an automatic and can no longer order the Gorilla glass. I’m just curious what off roading will be like with a 4 cylinder and the start/stop function.
Uhm... since when? The V6 is still the default on the website unless you change it yourself.You can get a 6 cylinder if you go with the electric or hybrid but not the regular gasoline engine,
Totally agree here. It is the dumbest invention in the history of mankind. Luckily, Jeep makes a model without ESS. Also I prefer leprosy.Asking for opinions on ESS is like asking if we prefer leprosy or syphilis.
Good luck.
Diesel also, I wasted a year of my life pushing that dang button until I stumbled across this in the forum and then wondered why I didn’t spend $100 much, much sooner.I for one absolutely hate it. Diesel driver here. I just wish it would remember my preference to have it off. I firmly believe it causes undue wear on a few components…. Of course I am only speaking to my uses and you may have a completely different angle. All that being said, it only irritates me when I forget to turn it off. Lol
This. And I'll choose leprosy.Worthless....Lol Who knows if it does anything but satisfy some mandate.
Ironically I was just there yesterday but didn’t push the purchase button. I’m sure I will in the next hour or so…..Diesel also, I wasted a year of my life pushing that dang button until I stumbled across this in the forum and then wondered why I didn’t spend $100 much, much sooner.
