I am in the market for a new truck. I have looked as the EcoD for a while and love it, but there seems to be alot of issues with it at this time on the eco site. I understand the residual value, but my next vehicle will be with me for at least the next 10 years or more, and to me the residual value is not important. As I have a 1995 s-10 with 245000 and the motor is strong but other parts are what the issue are. 2002 chevy trailblazer 200000, also motor is strong but other parts are what is costing, and a 2004 gmc canyon. 145000, and having to replace other parts than the motor. In the long run I think both engines will give long service it is the other parts of the vehicle that will wear-out. And then to me after 10 plus years I have gotten what I need out of a vehicle when it starts nickel-and-dimin me to death. If I can't trust a vehicle on a trip then I really don't need that vehicle, or its time for me to look for one for that purpose as well.
