Looking at both lightly used and new 2018 and 2019 Trailhawks...what would you choose and why? Here's sort of the pros/cons as I see it.... 2019: Pros: More powerful engine (although some say it doesn't drive much different?) Better crawl ratio (21:1 versus 20:1) Cons: Price (to come in at 24ish, might have to skip leather, tow package, etc) Worse MPG on the highway (90% of my driving), 27 vs 29 Reliability of the new 1.3T (just haven't heard much about it good or bad) 2018: Pros: Better MPG Price - can get more options for my price range Likely get certified - so longer warranty Cons: Less power Worse Crawl ratio Thanks!
Go look at them both in person and go with the one that grabs you. On paper they aren't that much different. 21:1 vs 20:1 = 5% difference 27 vs 29 = 7%, driving style is going to dictate... 2.4L/180-hp/175-lb-ft SOHC 16-valve I-4; 1.3L/177-hp/200-lb-ft turbocharged SOHC 16-valve I-4 (I do like my turbo's). lol I would go with the one that grabbed me.
