Good luck!! My buddy in Florida told me to test drive the V6 3.5L Ford Eco boost. He said it is so damn fast. Does anyone have this truck or has anyone drove one? My wife just replaced her German daily driver 4dr awd turbo charged sedan and wanted a small suv that 'didn't drive like a truck'. Out of the spreadsheet I prepared with 23 vehicles she test drove about half and it came down to the Ford EcoBoost 3.5 powered Edge and the Jeep Cherokee. The Ford was 500lb heavier and drove like a truck, so it didn't make her cut but was a very good contender. Some of the others were Infiniti and Lexus, didn't make it.

I'll take the heavier vehicle any day--the more metal surrounding you and your loved ones, the better. Just sayin'. Ayaq P.S. - Great discussions, by the way, folks.

And the Ford is nearly 1000lbs lighter than my JGC SRT which has more HP with the 6.4l v8 than any of those as well, but it still is big and heavy and drives like a large vehicle, which is why she didn't like it for her DD.

Consumer reports rates the tacoma much better than the frontier for reliability. The frontier is also dated compared to the new tacoma. If it was my money i would buy the taco and that's coming from a nissan 370z owner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

Same goes for slavery, I never did anything to anyone and treat people with respect. I shouldn't be held responsible for what people that are now dead did. The japanese companies at least provide jobs to americans unlike the american company sellouts who make their cars in mexico and canada(im also a conservative). Rant over.
