I’m stupid. Could someone explain turbos to me like I’m 3?
I know the basics such as psi but my understanding is bigger turbo go vroom better

im so lost :(
Some I can understand, like the excursion. Others like the Jeep, Expedition, and Escalade, I don’t know. What are yall’s opinion on this??
Image is for reference.
I see no reason as to why somebody would like this as somebody who really like trucks/cars and is understandable on terms of opinion. You can have huge tires and a huge lift, or small tires and a small lift but why small tires and a high lift? You ruin your ride quality which as a leaf-spring lover, I definitely don’t need ride quality but just why this much?
I do SORT OF understand how this might seem cool to some people, such as extreme negative camber for cars but with this you could genuinely roll over if you steer too hard.
Then there’s the offroad capability… yep nope horrible. Towing? Good luck with the hitch.
Now, I repeat, NO HATE! I understand, people have their own opinions and I too love large lifts but 6+ on rubberbands is just… something.
Chevy is severely lagging behind as currently there’s no point to buy one besides brand loyalty. Here’s why I think why:
Chevy used to be the one to get if you wanted to daily a truck that can still tow, somebody that accepts it’s probably gonna be a mall-crawler but still somewhat tows. Nowadays Ram is extremely luxurious and so is Ford, suspension in the Ram has also been extremely refined by air suspension with minimal difference from Chevy. GMC is the way to go if you really want a proper difference.
Numbers also aren’t in the favor for Chevy here, it has the lowest towing capacity out of the HDs and torque and it’s in the middle in terms of horsepower so you can’t even argue any yee-haw points.
The 1500s are definitely different but I still would go for Ram for reliability and Ford for true power.
As an Australian, I see no point for buying Chevy and even in the midsize class it gets completely drop-kicked by the Tacoma and Ranger. Speaking of Toyota..
The 3rd gen Tundra puts out wild power kicking out the Chevy, while it has lower towing numbers the Tundra simply tows much smoother and the Toyota badge soothes you as you know one or two facelifts later and it’ll be regarded as bulletproof just like the 2nd gen.
