I test-drove a 2.7L and liked it, but I initially thought the 5.0 would be more to my taste since I’ve had several V8s. Highway MPG is important to me, and the 2.7 has 3.73 gears while the 5.0 has 3.31 gears. Do you think the 2.7L would still outperform the 5.0? Both trucks have had three owners.
Here are the details:
-
2016 XLT Sport Charcoal 5.0
- 99K miles
- 3.31 locking diff
- $22,000
- Very clean
- New 33" Cooper ATs
- Spent its life in the South
-
2016 XLT Sport Ruby Red 2.7L
- 92K miles
- $19,500
- Pretty clean, but has a rip in the driver’s seat
- 36-gallon tank
- Started in Quebec for the first 43K miles, then moved to Maryland
- Small chance of rust
Which one would you choose?
