It's funny how many comments are about the cost of the 48 V battery. Has anyone actually had to buy one yet? Can anyone point to a post where someone has had to buy one?

I always think of after warranty is gone we keep our vehicles longer than mostIt's funny how many comments are about the cost of the 48 V battery. Has anyone actually had to buy one yet? Can anyone point to a post where someone has had to buy one?
Me too. My last two vehicles I owned for 9 years each. Assuming I do the same with the JL, the 48V battery will only spend one year out of warranty.I always think of after warranty is gone we keep our vehicles longer than most
Like I said in my post. For the guy's that absolutely never use the ESS, the e-torque doesn't do anything then?Depends on how you look at it. My 2021 JLUR has eTorque and it fixed the ESS annoyances, I'm a happy camper.

By the time you might need to replace the battery they will be even less expensive…..Me too. My last two vehicles I owned for 9 years each. Assuming I do the same with the JL, the 48V battery will only spend one year out of warranty.
Not necessarily.... Inflation could catch up.By the time you might need to replace the battery they will be even less expensive…..
True - scary thought. A new Jeep could be 125,000….Not necessarily.... Inflation could catch up.
When I originally made this post that’s what I was trying to figure out. Then when my Jeep was built and came in it had the eTorque and was different than what was showing as advertised upon my ordering it.This is an interesting topic. I looked at the window sticker on my 21 JL and I have the following:
Transmission: 8–Speed Automatic 850RE Transmission.
Engine: 3.6L V6 24V VVT Engine Upg I With Start Stop
Seemingly, the engine and transmission options that I received are no longer available. Anyone have any insights on this? I am very happy with my JL and would not change anything drivetrain wise. I'm just curious, as I had not even heard of the e-torque engine beforehand.
Ahh, O.K. Hopefully somebody will have some information on this. I have gotten into the habit of turning off the auto/stop/start every time I get in my Jeep. I don't drive all that much either, maybe 5 to 6 thousand miles per year max, so MPG is not all that important to me (within reason).When I originally made this post that’s what I was trying to figure out.

I live in a small, rural town in Northeast Colorado that is about 3 to 5 miles square but in it is a ton of stop lights and stop signs. So the stop/start function on my eTorque engine gets a lot of use! But the trade off though is that I only put about 5,000 miles a year on my vehicles. Although with my JLUR, it will start to see more because I ordered and bought it with the specific purpose in mind of getting back into off roading, overlanding and off grid camping again.
How is your gas mileage with this engine?Living with just the 3.6 with no e-torque, I love it. But I think you'd have to talk to someone who has spent significant time in both, in a variety of driving profiles, before making a final judgement.
The E-torque 3.6 combo made Ward's 10 Best engines in the world list. That's a VERY prestigious list and it would have to show some significant benefits, at least in some profiles, to earn that spot.
Btw, that was the latest in several appearances the 3.6 has made on that list. I think it is a world class engine in any configuration.
