GAINING MOMENTUM, VEHICLES VIE FOR TOP SPEED What’s most important when thinking about acceleration? Likely, it’s the vehicle’s ability to quickly cover the distance between point A and point B— ultimately, it’s the efficiency of converting power into motion that defines true performance. So, how did vehicles fare this year? Before we jump into overall top speed numbers let’s start with top performers in the 0-60 range. The Chevrolet Blazer EV AWD, reaching 0-60 in 5.08 seconds, and the Ford F150 Responder 3.5L Ecoboost, just behind at 5.95 seconds, beat out the other vehicles in this test. However, the BMW R 1250 RT-P was the true winner at 4.03 seconds. The Harley Davidson Electra Glide and Road Glide came in at 5.34 and 5.49 seconds. They were followed by Ford’s PI Utility 3.0L Ecoboost AWD at just over six seconds and the Chevrolet Silverado Z71 4WD at 7.28 seconds. The Dodge Durango 5.7l AWD made it in just 7.30 seconds while the Chevrolet Tahoe 5.3l RWD and Chevrolet Silverado Z7X 4WD tied at 7.52 seconds. Not far behind was the Ford PI Utility 3.3L Hybrid AWD reaching 60 mph in 7.76 seconds while the Chevrolet Tahoe 5.3L 4WD got there in 7.85 seconds. The Ford PI Utility 3.3L AWD and Dodge Durango 3.6L AWD took the most time at 8.77 and 9.03 seconds, respectively. Going from 0 to 80, the Chevrolet Blazer EV AWD was once again at the top, at 7.59 seconds, only slightly behind the BMW R 1250 RT-P at 6.16 seconds. The Blazer was also the fastest (right after the R 1250 RT-P at 9.36 seconds), going from 0-100 in only 11.23 seconds, even beating out both Harley Davidson models. The Ford PI Utility 3.0L Ecoboost AWD and Ford F150 Responder 3.5L Ecoboost tied at 9.44 seconds at 0-80. However, taking it from 0-100 the Ford PI Utility 3.0L Ecoboost came in a fraction faster at 14.03 with the Ford F150 Responder 3.5L Ecoboost clocking in at 14.81 seconds. 92 The Blues - November ‘24
