What does it matter what you think? Are you also a mechanical engineer? Do you know how this motor was built and what its durability will be? No. The Tacoma, Ranger, Colorado, and Canyon have “small engines” and are designed to tow and haul thousands of pounds easily and daily. V6 engines are making power that V8s were making 10-15 years ago. Times have changed.
@theglowcloud22159 ай бұрын
@@G-Rated turbo 4s under any kind of load beyond hauling people are going to get the same, or maybe worse, fuel economy as an NA V6 (eg: new Tacoma vs new Frontier). You don't have to be a mechanical engineer to understand why that is: turbo needs more fuel, engine runs hotter, efficiency drops. Trucks with turbo 4s are "lifestyle" trucks. If you have actual towing needs, buy an F150 with the 5.0L V8 and move on.

2024 Traverse can tow 5000lbs when equipped. The 2.5T offers an increase in both HP (18) and TrQ (60) from it's predecessor V6. Its also very closely related to their new 2.7T used in Trucks just modified for trans-verse applications.

Motor wise of course ford kicks it in the nuts but honestly for a city car and everyday not too bad.

The Traverse used to have really similar total interior space in cubic feet compared to the previous gen Tahoe because of the live rear axle. In fact the 3rd row had more leg room and depending on how you measured, more cargo space. FWD unibody versus RWD body on frame just offers better packaging. I dunno about this current gen, and quite frankly, if that matters (and towing doesn't) - a minivan is the way to go. Would I buy a Traverse? No, but when I go to rent, I'd take a Traverse over a Tahoe or Expedition most likely, unless it was snowing and one had 4WD and one didn't.

Turbo engines The majority of the driving public do not know enough about engines, turbos, cubic inches, torque and horsepower to care. Just like an air compressor, the higher the pressure you run it the shorter the life of the pump, a car engine is a pump. Turbos pressurize the engine to falsely make it put out more power. The 4 cylinders lose power as they get more miles on them, there is no substitute for cubic inches, horsepower and torque. I have built engines and turbo's boost the pressure into the small engines creating more power at the expense of the life of the engine. Your maintenance cost will exponentially increase with a turbo when it fails. Any economy you may have gotten from the turbo will be totally lost on the replacement cost of the turbo. This vehicle is way too large/heavy for a 4 cylinder. A long list of gadgets will not negate the lack of power from a 4 cylinder, not to mention the turbo lag when you need all the power from the small 4 cylinder. GM has lost this customer. We have a 2017 ACADIA V-6, 34 MPG highway.
