But was he going as fast using the Pilot? Using power requires fuel.

You mean Honda drivers?

They are visually and measurably taller, but footprints aren’t that far off. 

Please stop linking 100%-pulled-from-ass photoshops of the Bronco as a “full size” SUV. It will absolutely not be based off of a full size frame. It will be on the Ranger platform which is significantly smaller than the F150.

I had to look again myself, quickly looking at the tread pattern on the first head on shot I would have swore they were Toyo Open Country MTs. Of course my eyes are drawn to te tread pattern and not the enormous “Yokohama” sticker on the windshield. Yokohama definately used the Toyo as inspiration.

Really not much else they could do. Maybe you have an idea you would like to share?

That is why it chirped tires on shifts. The 10 speed is very fast, and can shift very hard in track or drag modes. This is the trans that enables a GT to do 0-60 in 3.9 seconds. https://www.motortrend.com/news/why-the-2018-ford-mustang-gt-automatic-is-so-much-quicker-than-the-manual/

Was it the ten speed?

That is part of what makes the all new 2020 a big deal, returning to a longitudinal powertrain layout. The last time was the 2010 MY when it was still body on frame.

Third you say, at 80k miles, being covered under warranty? Does he have an extended warranty? Factory powertrain is 5 years or 60k, whichever comes first.

Modern DI turbo engines produce power in the exact opposite manner as your are describing. They will generally move more quickly with less pedal movement than the equivalent NA engine, because they produce more torque at lower RPM. This is why it is difficult to get good fuel mileage with them. “Econ” modes on some…

Would you be able to provide any real statistical facts to back that up? Or are we talking anecdotal evidence, friends of friends that blew up a bunch of turbos etc.

This is FCA we are talking about. They have a very loose definition of “sold”. Most people would assume that means members of the public bought them. What FCA likely means is that all available units were ordered by dealers, who are the manufacturer's customers.

Pssssst..... Edge was 2015 ; )

The ram ecodiesel payload rating wont support that tow rating, so the tow# is meaningless. 

Jimmy’s Local Ford is invoiced for vehicles as they leave the plant! Weeks before they hit the lot.

This is the part I don’t get. 95% of your powertrain and steering is shared with the XJ Cherokee and ZJ Grand Cherokee, and it’s 95% because it is a Rubicon, if it was any other trim TJ I’d say 99.9%. Yet somehow the other two are considered reliable, but the same powertrain in a TJ seems to earn complaints of…

No onger in the Fusion, as the Sport model was discontinued. It is still available in the Edge, Nautilus, Continental, and the F150.

It is not a CUV. Some examples of Compact Utility Vehicles are the Escape, Rav-4, CRV, and Cherokee (not “Grand”, that would be a different class.)

What is your definition of “huge” with respect to the markup on American SUVs? Are you referring to full size body-on-frame (Expedition, Yukon, Tahoe), 7 passenger (Explorer, Traverse, Acadia), mid size 5 passenger (Edge, Blazer, Grand Cherokee), CUV (Escape, Equinox, Terrain, Cherokee), sub-compact (Ecosport, Trax,…
