    Not sure how lining three trucks up and hammering the gas deceived anyone.

    At this point you have made that perfectly clear how you do not see it.

    Explain to me how a 4x4 DC is faster in the 1/4 (time and speed) than a 2x4 AC with the very same engine?

    I think it is disingenuous because everyone knows that the Frontier has a WOT (Wide Open Throttle) limitation that can only be removed by a programmer.(this is true unfortunately)

    You only get a max of 66% throttle up to 40 MPH, regardless of whether the pedal is floored or not.

    To be fair, that electronic nanny must be exorcised.

    Thanks, and you have made it perfectly clear that you think every time two trucks meet each other at a street light and two clowns decide to give it the gas that they should keep in mind the official scientifically derived and track tested numbers because apparently that matters on the street where 99.999999999999999999% of these trucks will be driven. lol

    For those that don't already know this. Track numbers do not mean shit in the real world. Less than shit. In the real world you have to factor in road surface, ambient weather conditions, differences in tires between the two trucks in question and most of all driver ability. All of these play a huge factor when two clowns foolishly decide to race their trucks on a public road which I would strongly encourage you not to do because it's damned dangerous. Which brings me back to my original point and that is who cares. It's just a fun video. Don't get all butt hurt.

    I have a honda pilot .... its a fricking great car/truck. It's smooth as butter and quiet. I wouldnt personally buy the ridgeline, but the driveline and interior is really rather nice. The torque curve is very very nice.

    I wouldn't mind having another Tacoma. I'm just going to wait until all the bugs get worked out of this one because I don't want the headache that some are experiencing.

    Sometimes you just got to bite the bullet. I know there is a lot of chatter typically about what ppl hate about their new trucks but I can honestly say I am very happy. That's what warranty is for and like the old saying goes "if you are waiting for perfect, you will be waiting forever!" Go test drive one, what could it hurt! If you like it, buy it! That's what I did.

    Already did the test drive. It was 2016 Crew Cab 4x4. I too noticed that the engine wasn't all that spunky but it really didn't bother me because, truck. lol Not buying it to outrun Mustangs and Corvettes. Time is on my side so I don't mind waiting a while.

    the engine seems lame until you really put your foot on the go pedal....for fuel economy reasons... when you step on it, it really takes off. if i wanted a fire breathing dragon i would have bought a hemi. I like how mild the truck is, quick shifting trans keeps the RPMs real low
