2020 3.6 w/ out etorque or 2021 w/ etorque

[OBD]

Hey everyone, new to the forum as I’m interested in trading in my JK for a JL .i was hoping you all can give me some advice.


After doing some research I saw that in the 2021’s if you want the 3.6 w/ an auto etorque is mandatory. I have no experience with etorque but to me it just looks like something else that will break eventually and that I can’t fix.


Should I seek out a new 2020 left over on a lot somewhere and avoid the etorque or should I not be so worried?

The only new 2020 2 door rubis are a few states away, would it be worth it to travel to avoid the etorque or should I just get a 2021 in my area and call it a day? Thanks for any help in advance

My 2021 3.6 auto doesn't have etorque.They were available without.I did order mine though.

However that stopped working, the ESS about a year ago and not caring for it I left it not working and actually gain close to 2 MPG w/o it!!

or the huge take up space 40V battery under the back seat!

Under the seat? Are you thinking about the 4xe battery? The eTorque battery is under the Jeep in a space that isn't used.

There's a lot of thoughts (and exclamation points) crammed into not a lot of words. I assumed 40V was a typo for 400V, and that the first sentence pivots from complaining about eTorque to 4xe. Then the second sentence jumps back to eTorque, with the third being a rant on anything with the auxiliary battery.

Not wrong thinking e torque v6 48 v battery under bcck seat against rear front seat wall. NOT under vehicle, thats where the cooling crap is!

Im not talking about 4xe either
! here's a quote from an V6 etorque explanation.

How Does Jeep Wrangler's eTorque Mild Hybrid Technology Work?
A 48-volt battery pack works with the motor generator to create:


a seamless start/stop function;

• a short-duration torque addition to the engine crankshaft in particular driving conditions; and,
• brake energy regeneration to increase efficiency and responsiveness.

When the engine is running, eTorque's motor generator unit delivers 48-volt current to a 430 watt-hour lithium-ion Nickel Manganese Cobalt (NMC)-Graphite battery. The battery pack includes a 3-kilowatt DC-to-DC converter. This holds the battery's charge and converts 48 volts to 12 volts so that power can be use to power Jeep Wrangler's accessories and charge its conventional 12-volt lead-acid battery.

" About the size of a small suitcase, the air-cooled battery pack is mounted to the interior rear wall of Jeep Wrangler's cabin. The battery pack's case is insulated to hush the noise generate by the dual cooling fans. "

Go Jeep!!!

My 48 volt etorque battery on a 2021 3.6L 2021 JLU Rubicon is just like the 2.0L video. Under the body, outside (driver side) next to the drive shaft.
