Just wondering if I could somehow post or import a spreadsheet.
.
My research of the last few months on full sized SUVs had me getting dizzy and I finally figured I needed a simple way to display the information that was important to me so I could compare side by side. So I channeled my inner geek and did an Xcel spreadsheet using data I got from Edmunds.com.
.
Obviously I only looked at the factors that mattered to ME so it may or may not be applicable to others but I figured since I did the work someone else might benefit from it so why not share it?
.
I compared the full sized SUVs from Chevy/GMC, Ford, Nissan (Armada) and Toyota (Sequoia) and also included my current V6 4runner as a "baseline" for comparison. The data points I looked at were:
.
Year/Make/Model
Engine size in L
Engine HP
Engine Torque
Overall length in feet/inches (need to know if it will fit in my garage!)
Wheelbase
Curb weight
Transmission gears (all are automatics so number of gears is the only variable)
Turning circle size in feet
Flex fuel yes or no (not a huge consideration but I figured it would be nice to be able to use E85 when it is available.)
MPG (EPA Estimates City/Highway)
Fuel tank size
Range (basically the last two variables multiplied.)
.
Notice that I did not include GVWR or max towing capacity as I will be staying far below both so they're not factors in making my choice.
.
I did not include the Denali versions of the Yukon because I have no interest in an AWD with no low range, ditto for the 2500 Suburban/Avalanche with the 8.1. I also did not include the Infiniti Q80 or whatever they're calling the Patrol luxo-barge sold in the US because I have no interest in it. Finally the Expedition EL was not included because it seems they were only made for a few years and are generally outside of my price range (trying to stay under $15k.)
.
Anyway, I don't know if there's any way to post a spreadsheet here but I thought I'd ask.
