In this thread, we learn that over a 100 years later, Ford is still duping consumers into buying it's hot garbage.

For the record, not all turbos, and the motors they're attached to, are unreliable. I sold my Golf TDI with 353k miles on the original turbo.

I guess there's a market for that... or Ford knows that the majority of their customers aren't using their trucks and SUVs for anything more.

I hate the added complexity of turbos and am unsure if they REALLY are compatible with the swill that passes for gas in the Midwest--so I don't know what their longevity will be.

My preference is displacement and peak hp and torque below 2000 RPM but Obama wants to take that away from me.
