<![CDATA[Another non-BMW]]>I really tried to talk her into an X5.  We downgraded the SRT to a 14 Summit.

It's a very nice vehicle.  We are debating on throwing a whipple supercharger on it.

Seems to be fine for now.  Wife drives it mostly and hasn't complained.  Being a non-turbo, I'm assuming the engine is more smooth than the torquey turbodiesel.

I'm sure the output on her engine is close to that ecodiesel. It's a small V6 from italy.

Mileage really isn't a concern.  My F150 gets around 11.8 and the SRT got around 13.5.  It really can't be worse than that, even if we supercharge it.  Power is the downgrade from the SRT, everything is far superior with the new chassis.  8 speed automatic is pretty neat.

How is the 8 speed for you?

When I test drove a RAM 1500 ecodiesel. I absolutely hated that 8 speed. It was slow to respond, couldn't pick a gear and wasn't as smooth as the only automatic I've ever owned (allison transmission).

I test drove 4 different 2015 F-150 3.5 ecoboosts this saturday. That truck has me tempted to get rid of my 2005 duramax. same towing/payload with a smoother ride.
