Those Equinox things are notorious for things like this. I rented one once, and the clock was stuck on 13.5 volts the whole time I drove it.

Nobody should be surprised a 1.5L engine has no smash, even if it does have a (tiny) turbo.

A 2.0T Equinox would have 80hp+ on the 1.5 when running premium fuel and likely be a different experience. Certainly no X5M, but better...

I mean, it would have to be better My lawnmower could probably give it a run for it’s money off the line…

What does the speedometer say, 15,000 miles?

The Equinox will definitely get to 180. The secret is once you get it to about 105-110 is to grab the shifter and slam it to R for Rocket, and get ready for the ride of your life.

Equinox 2.0T here and it's quick...0-60 faster than my 5.7 Ram...

And that folks is proof lighter vehicles are typically quicker than heavy vehicles

Equinox is having a hell of a time with the dirty side, internal PCV valves clogging. It is expensive fix, $1000-1500. Best case it puts you in limp mode.....worse case it blows out the rear main seal. Had this same problem with my 2019 Malibu Turbo.

Doesn't sound like your borrowed Equinox is the turbo model, which is quicker 0-60 than a Tahoe. Not sure what displacement gets you when a lot of smaller turbocharged engines outperform larger NA engines in HP and torque in similar applications.

TheTahoe has been up fitted so there is that.
Happy for it to be back in service.

The PCV system in all of the turbo GM vehicles is a disaster, heck even some of the NA are a mess.
