What is this poor chebby guy to do if we are not blasting Frods and Dogde trucks.......
Reality is, most brands have been more than capable for some 20 years. IMHO, since about 1995-2000, ALL brand models have stepped up in a major fashion, to being better than previous years. There does seen to be another step up occurring. Again IMHO, the issue I see, is all getting bigger, meaning heavier base weights, yes heavier gvwr, but really no more payload than in past. Fuel economy is not really going up per say.....that may also be because engineers can only go so far reducing aerodynamics, friction etc.
