EcoDiesel vs 2.7L EcoBoost vs Chevy

Already in process of Lemon Law with a Jeep Cherokee. Wife wants a break from Chrysler.

Our Lemon Law applied to the 2014 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk.

We are looking at many vehicles to replace the Jeep. One is the new 2015 Ford Edge. Waiting to see the new infotainment system. V6 is an option.

Honda ruined the Crv. They added direct injection and CVT.

Looks like Subaru has excessive oil consumption and CVT.

Mazda infotainment system also appears to be second class.

Will never own a GM vehicle again.

Toyota Highlander looks promising. Rav4 too.

If you are looking at an Edge why not look at a Grand Cherokee?

I was researching EcoBoost the other day. One thing I came across. There appears to be no Ford approved induction cleaning on gas turbo engines. If the head has carbon buildup from direct injection the heads are repaired by replacement. Not sure if true.

There's quite a bit of that on the web (talk of problems with carbon build up), but I'm not sure how widespread it is in the real world.

Agreed. We just Lemon Law'd wife's vehicle. Now shopping for reliable SUV. Eco boost looks good on paper. Not sure.

Also waiting to check out the new BlackBerry driven Ford infotainment system.

Just to be clear, it was not an Eco boost that you got rid of and you are considering replacing it with an Eco boost. Correct?

Me being a Chevy guy that was hard to read but very true, Chevy needs to step up in the drivetrain dept. I do like that Dodge just wish they would do something about the payload capacity, 960 lbs in this test.

Thanks for sharing.

But handled the same trailer weight better than the others with more capacity.:h
