Won't help in the city if they are not street legal. I don't know of tracks are allowed on any street. Many places don't allow to have anything wider than the fenders.

+MultiPurposeReviewer They both have the CVT.

+JettyLife23Yeah.

+MultiPurposeReviewer and the weight probably too

+The Fast Lane Car ok fair enough:)

+Kenny Downs Snow, treads, drag race...that's the point of the video. Can we just have a little fun please before we get back to just working?

Roasted

+Vincent Maturo They are tracks that bolt on with 1.5 inch spacer. Not much else to report.

Ok, didn't know it was hybrid.  Though to me they ruined the Pathfinder name when they made it a minivan in disguise.

+chadwickwhite altitude and the Pathfinder was Hybrid with almost no charge in the battery.

Exactly

+Ishmale Tack Good luck on a cheap truck that's drivable. People have been telling me I got a sweet deal cause I recently got an 01 Dodge Ram 1500 sport with a 5.9 for 3600. To me that was spending big.Admittedly I live in Kentucky but from what I've read trucks are expensive all over America.

+Joseph Rhodenhiser idk i just dont like cars

+Jeffrey Horton with a turbo

+Jeffrey Horton how about my miata?

we dont get trucks for gas miliage if ur worried about tnat get a hybrid

This applies more to the Arab countries where gas is dirty cheap.

I drive a smart.

no, you weren't anywhere on the list.

What about the European Ford Ranger?

offroading,beach, ride height better & safer

+joe clark . I don't need a magazine to tell me that, I come with life experience. Listen calm down buddy I will always drive a Silverado because at this point in life its part of my identity. I can't imagine looking down at the steering wheel and seeing anything besides a Chevy bowtie, hell I wouldn't even buy a GMC. PROOF IS IN THE PUDDING, Toyota's can typically hit 250k- 300k miles. Also HONDA, YAMAHA, SUZUKI and KAWASAKI are the most reliable motorcycles(Japanese).

Who said there more reliable, a magazine. Public won't dig to find facts, japs are master of deception. I won't ever buy there stuff, I'll walk first

+joe clark . I do support this country did you not notice that my account name has the word Silverado in it. But I know for a damn fact that JAPANESE engines are WAYYYY MORE RELIABLE. I would never buy one because to me GM trucks are more comfortable. If you notice they "AMERICANIZED" the tundra by making it bigger, and giving it a bench seat, fold down center console.Things you would typically find in american trucks.

+BudSilverado this country was built with American Trucks, be a real American and support our country.

OK but Toyota will outlive all those brands.

inflation?

+Thomas Rock they also make the patriot and the compass but i dont consider those jeeps, despite the fact i do consider the old wagoneer a real jeep... when someone says "jeep" i think of the two door cj when were talking offroad...that said you are right, floating over snow is easier as is getting up a steep hill is easier with a thousand less lbs. which brings up the point that a good power to weight ratio is even beneficial in the snow...i once did an s10 v8 conversion and the small block s10 was far better in the snow then the old 2.8 ever was (yeah it surprised me to)...that point was proven to me one day my buddy couldnt get up my driveway with his plow truck(4wd powerwagon with studded snows got stuck) and i just hit the 4 bbl and drove up on the grass around him with my 2wd that used to get stuck going down hill

+tacomahnster Wrong. In deep snow, you want lighter weight to try and stay on top rather than sinking in. A heavier vehicle that sinks into deep snow is a recipe for disaster. Just research the guys who run those oversized tires on the arctic 4x4 trucks and you'll see why flotation is the key in deep snow.

+Thomas Rock That's simply not true. Consider the fact that the snow pushing against the vehicle is independent of vehicle weight. Traction opposes the force of the snow pushing against the vehicle, and weight helps with traction (by increasing static friction). As such, weight improves traction which helps the vehicle overcome the force of the snow pushing against it. 

+tacomahnster In deep snow, lighter weight vehicles are better for traction.

+Thomas Rock Heavier vehicles are better for traction, lighter vehicles are better for stability and control. 

+phil tripe Not all Jeeps have a short wheelbase. The Grand Cherokee is a long wheelbase and is great in snow.

im a short wheel base jeep/dirtbike kinda guy but in the snow a short wheel base isnt an advantage of any kind...when im on pavement of any kind i try to be in 2wd cause when im in 4 wheel hi both front and rear tires get sliding and thats scary...its fine going slow but as you pick up speed the shorter vehicles tend to get unstable and slide around a bit more...jeeps arent really made for snow and that gets really clear on the highway...cars like subaru and vovlo are much easier to drive in the snow at speed

My f350 just plows through snow so I'm thinking any bigger 4x4 even the jeep will do better than small 4x4 or awd in deep snow

Size and weight? If anything, you want lighter weight in most deep snow conditions, not heavy. Driving through deep snow is about two things--traction and ground clearance. There are quite a few vehicles with 4wd systems that will allow for better traction than the F150. There are also plenty of vehicles with greater ground clearance too. So no, the F150 isn't nearly as good as it gets.

Indeed, probably they do it for the same reason I do it, I can't stay for a long time outside on a sunny day without sunglasses but I understand what you say, is more professional

yea, if I tried that my dog would look at me like I was crazy, which is fine, because if she wanted to play in the snow, I would look at her like she was crazy.

+Dan Troop Slush and ice is what causes problems

+The Fast Lane Car It is that much more impressive that they did so well on the stock M&S rubber. 

Yes both had M and S all season tires. That was a bit worrisome as you'll see in the full reviews

+Unchainedmaple888 Physical antennas provide better radio reception than shark fins or glass embedded. I am a detail orientated guy, so I get it. And I use Sirius. But many radio listeners appreciate the better reception and HD quality (without the bluetooth or Sirius audio compression).

+goatmonkey2112Yes its a factory tune, but Ford dosent provide this for any car currently dont know why, some say its reserved for some Lincoln model,There is lot of such tunes like the GT350 top internals with 5.0 v8 making 532 hp and 450 ft pounds which is stable for 240000 milles but dont know why Ford is reserving these tunesAnother tune is the 3.5 TT EB v6s 450 hp and 500 ft pounds tune, and thats probably coming for the upcoming 2017 Raptor with 10 speed 

+Ponygt 662Are you talking an aftermarket tune, or is there a 400hp version of this engine that Ford already uses in something? 

+goatmonkey2112 The 2.7 v6 EB has 4 states of tune 315 HP 375 ft pounds325 hp 350 ft pounds330 hp 350 ft pounds400 hp 390 ft poundsAll are with tuning and different psi turbos, all are stable and can b applied but transmission tuning is perfected only for 3 tunes, not the 400 hp one

yeah it's pretty much dead at this point since the Fiat Group they dont plan to be in that segment of vehicles in the future.

+dasser22Thanks.  I did it earlier but I didn't try the future vehicles button.

go to fords website, click cars, click future vehicles on the little window, then click on the ford fusion. next screen click "build and price" in the top right. only the new fusion and escape have the configurator option right now i think. have fun :)

+dasser22Thanks.  I tried several times and couldn't figure it out earlier.

+Invincible Osprey //shop.ford.com/build/fusion/2017/#/select/ not sure if links work on youtube but there ya go.

+venictos after a long drive mine overheats, this is a common issue btw. Shudders, jerks, surges. Resale value is non existent.

my 15 focus has had no problems. only holds revs longer that's it

+Ivan Vojt The 2.5L is a good engine, it's just a bit dated at this point. If they took their current 2.0L Duratec and put the 2.5 crank in it, they'd have a great combination that's capable of 200hp naturally aspirated with at least 180ft-lb of torque or more.
