[QUOTE="NXR71, post: 23852, member: 6892"] Nope. At the dealer we took the 1.5L for a test drive up a short, steep interstate entrance ramp with just me and the wife. It was during rush hour and I realized I probably was not going to be at the speed limit at the top of the ramp even when floored. It barely got there. But then I had to stop and wait for traffic and try to merge from a stop. Not good. We then drove the 2.0L at the same dealer the same day. Half-throttle had us at the 65 MPH speed limit easily and a quick stab of the gas pedal got us safely merged. Don't need that performance often but it is comforting to know it's available. We can easily tow the 1,800 lb pop-up camper with the 2.0L. That would not be possible with the 1.5L. And since we tow the Equinox behind a motorhome and since the 2025's cannot be dinghy towed this is our last Equinox for a third reason. It happens. [/QUOTE]
