If he had the turbo 400 trans in the Jeep it had a chance...
No doubt. A heavy rainstorm and a mouthful of water later from a 6 inch deep puddle, and you have a few Hydro’ed connecting rods to deal with.
Christ that curb weight is insane! My 2011 Yukon XL Denali weighs 5700 when I checked it on the scale recently.
The same Mike Levine that came from PUTC?
Too bad the ecoboosts pollute worse than your 2004. I’m no eco-nut but it’s surprising some of the articles out there showing that these motors basically bypass the EPA testing due to lack of data under heavy load and yet pollute worse than diesels. Not Ford’s fault other than probably knowing and exposing a flaw in…
Pollution on a Turbocharged small displacement engine? Don’t hold your breath.
Rather than build a good, reliable truck with quality materials, they take the easy route and make fools trade up with leases every 3 years. But hey it’s got a new grille. How else are you going to get someone in a new lease every 3 years? I actually listened to someone admit he’s leasing his ‘16 f-150 again…
Ford marketing does a damn good job. Ford quality isn’t much better than ram in the last 10 years.
I can’t go to my local dealer and buy one. The ones I’ve seen in Mexico don’t scream “off-roader” either.
You mean IF Ford had a Mid-size truck, you could compare Apples to Apples.... Manzanas a Naranjas
GM 6.2l v8's are all aluminum since 07.
The 4L60E is bulletproof if you change the damn fluid and the trans filter before 150k. I had a yukon with 225k, and when it was cold would shift lazy from 3-4. A new filter, oil and not just a trans flush and it shifted like a dream for another 50k until traded off. If it was left unattended probably would have…
I think the real underlying issue is the amount of boost that makes some of these motors sound unappealing. I have a 6.2 gm v8 in a denali and it sounds amazing. I have a friend with a supercharged 6.2 in a camaro zl1 and it sounds tinny and raspy when you step on it. Could be the exhaust tuning, but the naturally…
I can agree on anything I drive now being world’s better than in the 70's and 80's. The electrical and control systems aside, I can’t believe how many vehicles I’ve taken to 200k without cracking a bolt on the engine and transmission. A water pump or alternator here and there, but engines and transmissions have…
Most sites that survey quality would disagree with you. Ford has almost doubled up most of the GM vehicles in PPM on JD power. sitting right at the bottom next to, wait for it, Dodge. You don’t base a vehicle on how much better it was than 20 years ago. You look at how it compares to the competition. I for one,…
