I think half pickereled makes a good point about turbos on gas engines not getting the same amount of respect a diesel might. Cold starts, hot shutdowns.
Out of curiosity, in what way did the turbos fail?

Welcome to the new norm for vehicles. Have a 17 Cherokee and an 18 F150, both have the auto start stop feature and it’s the first thing I disable when driving in town. Love both vehicles a lot, just don’t like they shut off every time you stop...
