      I live in the rust belt area..Still Domestics from the
      80s on up still running. Lucky to find a mythical quality
      toyota of any kind from the early 2000s. Nothing but
      a myth of the "quality" being so great.

      John Smith. From what I've heard, everything rusts to bits up there, foreign or domestic. The domestics you probably see is likely because they're easier to repair being domestic, part availability etc.. So the myth is that domestics are somehow magically more rust proof than imports.. It's a well known fact that Toyotas are more reliable than anything domestic

    • @JohnSmith-if4uy
      @JohnSmith-if4uy Před 6 lety +6

      You see a lot of the domestics rusted and still going
      It's a known fact toyotas last ten years at most.
      And your theory of rustproofing and parts is way off
      at best. The camry has been here over 25 years..
      Toyoto has been here since the late 1960s
      So your theory is not relevant
      "The domestics you probably see is likely because they're easier to
      repair being domestic, part availability etc.."
      So do bring some more theories up.

      John Smith where I live (Indiana) i see far more old Toyota cars than ford and chevys on the road. Trucks is a different matter, but I don’t think they Toyota trucks sold as well anyways so it’s not really a fair comparison. The Camry, Corolla, and Avalon are everywhere here, seen MUCH more often than Taurus, Escort, Malibu, or old impala. Though oddly I also see a shit ton of Ford fusions, they’re almost guaranteed the most popular car where I live. The F150 and Silverado are popular too, but far more Tahoes/GM suvs than expeditions /excursions.

    I’ve driven that Tahoe and the luxury version of the Armada (Infiniti QX80). Both rode great and gas mileage was similar but the Infiniti QX80 performed better for me. The brakes are phenomenal, even in panic braking. Interior was very quiet compared to the Tahoe. Plus you can put regular gas in that Infiniti. The gas cap says Premium recommended not required and the horsepower to me is still great. If you can’t afford the cheapest Infiniti QX80, the Armada with the platinum trim would be a great alternative.

      Then why did Motorweek ranked the Tahoe 3rd? Obviously if GM paid Motorweek, they'll say more biased stuff about the Tahoe than "better mileage". Also do you have any claims that GM paid MW? just wondering.
      "In real life the Ecoboost gets better fuel mileage than the gutless unreliable piece of trash 6.2."
      First, do you have any sources that says the Ecoboost gets better mileage than the "gutless unreliable piece of trash 6.2"? Second, I haven't heard anyone called the 6.2l V8 gutless and unreliable unless you really hated GM/Chevy. Perhaps you got a bad lemon on your Silverado? Perhaps you think pushrod engines are old and outdated while DOHC engines are new and sophisticated. IDK, I'm just guessing.

    I recently rented a Yukon XL, which is basically a Suburban, which is basically a long Tahoe. LOVED driving that truck. It drove very smoothly, got amazing fuel economy with a 5.3 L (an indicated 22mpg avg), and was very comfortable. The thing I noticed about it though, is that it was very inefficient as far as the Interior space. We also had an older Dodge Caravan rental car, and in the Yukon we could fit 3 people and 3 mountain bikes with gear, and in the minivan, we could fit four people, and 4 bikes with gear. And that was a standard wheelbase Caravan, not the long wheelbase. The relatively low ceiling height of the Yukon had us laying the bikes down, while the much higher ceiling of the Caravan allowed us to stand the bikes up.
    If one does not need to tow, and all-wheel drive is not a big concern, as uncool as they look the minivan is still the most practical choice as far as interior space and people moving capability.

    Just got the 2017 Armada, drives like a dream, super quiet cab, insane acceleration for a big SUV, and going over 100mph still feels so smooth, like going 60, and quiet cab even at 100mph. The 3rd row has plenty of room, (2 inches more legroom than tahoe I believe with slightly less shoulder/hip than tahoe due to square shape. I can still sit back there fine and I am 6'4...When you lay all the seats down it is like 7.5 ft of space for a mattress to camp in full independent suspension...My only issue is mileage, and that's a given with any big boy SUVs. I am averaging 15.9 mpg and then the back bumper makes it look like it's got a large badonkadonk. I want to find an aftermarket rear bumper since It's the only real issue I have with it. Much cheaper than the Tahoe, of the same year and it is honestly better in every way except, the exterior of the newer Tahoe is gorgeous.

      Many HD fleets are finding out the hard way that the V6 turbo doesn't deliver the real world mileage as stated. Also Pace Bus co. tried several of the engines in their E450 based buses, and found the fuel usage and cost was ON PARE with their older V10s. Down time and maintenance costs were significantly higher with the V6 vs the old ten. The diesel delivered more mpgs than both, but also had higher maintenance costs than the gas V10. As a result, Pace found that in the long run, replacing a worn out V10 with a new long block was more economical then running and maintaining the V6 T or the diesel.

    Never been in the Nissan, but I have been in the other 3, and third row wise, the Sequoia and Expedition has the best legroom. You can fit grown adults back there and have it still be comfortable for long road trips. The Tahoe, I’d say the third row should only be reserved for kids. Never understood why they sell so many since there are clearly better options. Nissan I would say is a good alternative if you’ve always wanted a luxury car, since it’s straight up a rebadged Infiniti QX80. One can argue that the Escalade is a rebadged Tahoe, but the Armada takes it to a whole new level. The interior is EXACTLY the same as the Infiniti.

My manual gen two xterra, the transmission was taken from the z and put into a truck. They did this because the fj cruiser released with a six speed transmission and the Xterra first gen only had a five speed. The frontier and titan didn't fit in the second gen body, and they didn't have time to make a clutch assembly system from scratch for the vehicle, so they went with the z instead. Long story short, it's known on forums as the 8 thousand miles clutch. They never fixed the issue till the thing was discontinued because they couldn't afford to have the repairs paid for. If they fixed the issue part way through it's production that would be admitting fault, and they'd have to pay. So they kept making a pos truck for years full well knowing it wasnt made to last. That's only one of many issues. Another is on my nissans, my xterra included, their welding robots would leave metal shards on the body. Nissan didn't bother cleaning the cars properly before paint, and what you got is metal shards stuck in your paint that you can't see....muntil they start to rust. Then your car's back end (always the rear for some reason) looks like it has thousands of brown pimples everywhere. None of this, plus many, many other problems, were EVER covered. I hate them.

How much extra does it cost to maintain a pair of turbochargers? Are spark plug changes needed more often, and if so, how much is each service interval? It's a marvel of an engine, but I'm really concerned about overall cost of operation on it...

      I don't understand why they can't use a V-8 in The Expedition. They switched to a twin turbo V-6 for better mpg, and they still don't beat the Tahoe. I'm sure all of the extra plumbing makes weight issues a push. Put a V-8 in it, and work on fuel management systems. I can't imagine using one of these as a tow vehicle that's pulling pretty close to capacity. It just seems like a turbo (or two), is just the wrong motor for this application.
      I also am not a big fan of most of the automakers putting turbos in almost every vehicle they make. It just seems like they're going to be sticking a bunch of people without great means in a bind, when they purchase a "good" used vehicle for $7,500-$10,000, with 125k miles on it, and then have a turbo fail, and leave them a vehicle that they paid $7,500 for 6 months ago, parked in their driveway, because it needs $6000 in engine repairs that they can't afford. It just seems like the affordable, reliable used car, is becoming something of the past, leaving a whole large group of people without many options of having their own transportation.
      For full disclosure, I own a Cadillac CT6 with the 3.0 twin turbo, and I love it. It was the only option available. I would have gladly traded it for a normally aspirated V-8, if they offered that. I also have absolutely zero plans of keeping this vehicle beyond 75k miles at most. So yeah, I'm kind of a hypocrite, but options left me with no other option.

      @sreilly Před 6 lety

      The turbos aren't too bad to replace. The kicker is all the owners of the Fords that I've worked on tell me they don't let their vehicles warm up in the morning, especially when it's cold outside. I think if they let their vehicles run for a minute or two before taking off first thing, it would postpone if not completely avoid the turbos being destroyed.
      Honestly, I've never heard of the glazed cylinder walls from the AFM on GM vehicles. I know earlier models of Chevy trucks from around 2008 to 2013 that had AFM had issues with lifters breaking, but I don't see any issues with the newer gen GM trucks with AFM. I bought my 2016 Silverado brand new with only 9 miles on it, and now has 32,000 trouble free miles. I do change my oil religiously every 5,000 miles, and even stuck a borescope in the engine to check out the cylinder walls and the valves and everything looks just fine. But thanks for the heads up! I'll have to keep a closer eye on the cylinder walls.

    • @ardyshane23
      @ardyshane23 Před 6 lety +3

      lat woods I worked on a ford sponsored race team in an all Ford ecoboost race series. Not a single motor in any car made it through one season without blowing. As for basic engineering, more moving parts is more to go wrong. Turbos typically don't last much over 100,000 miles, turbo engines are under more stress than na engines. As far as reliability reporting, all Ecoboost motors have an atrocious record prior to I believe 2016 when Ford added the secondary injectors to clean the valves. Before then all Ecoboost have an inherant design flaw, yes by those genius engineers you regard so highly, that literally dooms every single Ecoboost engine to a shortened life. Fords solution has been to replace the cylinder head or perform the almond shell blasting to the tops of the intake valves on regular service intervals. Finally, I actually like the ecoboost engines for performance applications. They make great power, but fuel economy is not great and towing with a small turboed gasoline engine is certainly not ideal. Ps: my very own na v8 in my truck has 406,000 miles, no rebuild, just basic maintenance. My dad is the original owner and it was used for construction, towing, and light off-roading, and is still going strong. I keep my vehicles and need them to last. The ecoboost just has not proven to be something that will last.

Not a single motor from any team made it one season. Keep in mind, obviously these motors were not being taken apart after every race. They had to be sealed. Most if not all the race teams you are talking about are high dollar and rebuilding and inspecting the motor after every race.

These SUVs with all this technology under the hood instead of a strong v8 can be very risky. Toyota or Armada has the strong v8. These new motors in these other full-size SUVs seem very risky. No real reliability history as of yet. Previous v8 history averages around 300000 miles or better. That includes towing.

      Sequoia. Mine has almost 300,000 (280,xxx) miles and runs perfect. We drive it on 1,400 mile road trips yearly without a second thought. It’s a 2002 model. It doesn’t have all the newest features but I love it. Backup camera would be nice but I’ve made it this long without one.

      @@706Rocks I also have a 2002 Sequoia Limited with 306,000+ miles on it. Bought it used for $3,700 so I LOL at these $80,000 depreciation pits. I installed a backup camera/nav/sat radio/BT head unit: all the tech I want. Proudly a card carrying member of Unleaded Anonymous Intervention Program for not worrying about breaking a front air dam or electrical gremlins or turbo failure. Road trip? Can do. Conquer winter weather? Yep. Gravel/muddy roads? No sweat. Going through a stream to escape a tornado through a hail/wind/rain storm? Are you even trying, buddy?

    I see a lot of Ecoboost twin turbo's traded in with one or both of the turbo's failing before 100k. They're super powerful and smooth...until they're not.

    I like them all but I really hate the gas mileage on all of them. I will stick to my little Suv for now.

    If the Durango was Ram-based like the second gen, it would have been here, and would have won.

    How does the Ford's 6000 lbs towing capacity beat the 8500 lbs of the Armada? And i was told by the Ford dealer the expedition is no longer based on the f150 chassis. Which accounts for it's shit towing capacity.

    The expeditions/navigators are going to have serious electrical problems. It’s too complicated a vehicle. Look at what happened with the new continental and then add some complexity.
