Thanks for the ecoboost heads up. Have you seen any blowen turbo's or head gaskets yet.
So now you have to maintain these things?

Listen, i like the idea of the ecoboost. i think it would be interesting to compare the best to the best. They can all bring their best vehicle to compare. I hate it when these tests compare one single thing and the winner says "see we dominate the competition!" Im a chevy guy, but they do it too. they want to compare the three things they are better at, and completely ignore the things Ford or Dodge is better at.

If Ford wants to compare towing, then bring the best Chevy and Dodge has to offer. If they want to compare the towing of a V6 turbo to a diesel that is their preference. If they want to compare the best truck, there has to be more criteria, like price, mileage, other features.
