forgive me for checking this less often than you do, Sled...
yes, those are interesting observations.
- far upper end towing capacity is greater for the turbo V6 than the V8
- fuel economy is the same (in spite of what is advertised and widely believed)
- up-front costs are higher for the turbo V6 (and other data says reliablity is worse)
i'm pretty sure if you look at what i've said earlier, i mentioned every one of those same points. his experience is consistent with what CR found.
from where i view it, for towing a 4000lb boat/trailer that's less than half of either versions towing capacity you're paying more than you need for same fuel economy and same acceleration (within 0.1 seconds). for industrial towing applications that require the extra capacity you can make a good case for the turbos.
