Unless ecoboost can match the power stroke 880 pound feet, no. My 2011 power stroke 6.7 makes 800 pound feet while averaging 18 in a vehicle weighing 8,200 pounds. Ecoboost cannot touch that efficiency. Diesel isn't always more expensive than premium gasoline either, which is what you should be running in the 3.5…

You cannot do that at a gun show. It is a lie peddled by the media and politicians to push their own agenda.

2015 model year IIHS test results were not that good. You can only declare this is as good as an F150 until it matches the 2016 F150 IIHS crash test scores. Time will tell what the results are.... It is surprising how very few car reviews go over safety scores when most other performance metrics are reviewed. Isn’t…

This didn’t mention the 10 year equity loan interest costs vs a 3-4-5-6-7 year auto loan term. Comparing the same interest rate percent and only increasing the term length would cost the buyer more in total interest costs. Time is quite the multiplier of expense...

Well I did test drive the new Volvo xc90 with 316 HP 4 cylinder engine. It actually had plenty of power and I definitely did not have to floor it. The supercharger and turbocharger work wonders on that 2 ton car. My only complaint is the engine is a little noisy.

I bought a new 2015 Lincoln Navigator L weighing in at 6100 pounds with a 3.5 liter twin turbo DI V6. The new engine makes 380 hp and 460 lb-ft equaling 108 HP per liter and still not as much HP per liter as the Volvo engine at 158 HP per liter... I see what you mean.

Test drove two of these and I completely agree. For a luxury vehicle, the road noise is poor. The interior is clean but it seems a little cheap except the wood. The plastic bits inside just screamed “kinda cheap but decent looking”. I wanted to love it but walked away kindof liking it. Bought a new navigator L because…

The small overlap test was introduced by IIHS in 2012. Everyone has had four years to design for it.

The only auto manufacturer who advertises and provides public information on how they design their cars around real crash test data they have collected for decades is Volvo. Until the other manufacturers take the same approach, I consider them taking the lazy route.

I design and program multi-million dollar Cisco VoIP, data center, and campus networks for a living.

How did they change the small overlap test? I missed that...

If they actually used more high strength steel they could remove more mild steel with an overall net loss In weight. All the auto makers do this.

Thanks man

Wife and I do. Very high up there in decision factors. I lost my mother in 2003 to a 2003 Ford Explorer rollover. I'm very happy the new DOT roof strength increased standard takes effect in 2017.

I cross shopped expeditions and navigators so you don’t have to be a rude asshat with the “lazy internet millenial” crap. You are correct the fully loaded expi is 70k and I simply forgot because i was thinking about the king ranch model.

Wife and I bought a 2011 Ford F-250 brand new and still have it. Its a great truck except for replacing the light bulbs. I wanted brighter halogens and ordered the best sylvanias they sell. Then when I looked up the procedure because there isn’t a hole behind the light housing, I found out you have to remove the front…

If you compare the current Platinum Expedition to the base model Navigator the difference is around $10,000, not $25,000.

I found this:

I did find this:

I looked up safercar.gov and the chevy SS hasn’t been crash tested with no results listed. Then I looked at the private sector alternative, iihs.org, and they have not crash tested this car.
