This thread got gayer than all 3 tapes found on top of karl's vcr.
I don't think I got screwed on my trade. I traded in a 2013 Ford Raptor, and They gave me $1800 less than what I bought it for new. I only had it for 10 months and I thought that was a VERY fair amount of depreciation and kick in the shorts for changing my mind so quick on the vehicle. I was very pleased with how it kept it's value, and I ended up not having to pay any money at all for my new truck, win win for me.
I understand the point you are trying to make, but there is a single flaw in your posts and that is your reliance on what the vehicle puts to the wheels, or rather "chassis dyno's". All Dyno's read different, even dyno's of the same brand if they are calibrated differently. The graph you posted is a great comparison of the two trucks if they were run back to back on the same dyno (which I assume they were) with the same weather conditions. The chart you reference is a good comparison, but the ecoboost still makes 10% more torque, which is what will effect a "butt dyno".

It is 4wd but not for offroad reason. I really lucked out last time I did that. Learned my lesson. Kinda

How did you luck out Tate? You test drove a brand new jeep at K2 all weekend and totaled it. Lucky that it wasn't your insurance?

Yes. Dealership covered it when the dealership found out what my insurance company was going to let me keep it for. And I now own an explorer sport. Well my wife does I guess.

I didn't total it. It just had so much rock damage they chose to total it. I tried to buy it but they wouldn't meet me on price.
