    Does anyone else notice the 4.0 sounds sloppy as hell when gassing but once it reaches higher rpm's it sounds good?? I don't remember my old 2006 sounding like this. Maybe I am used to the silky 3.5 that was in the RAV4 but damn wtf gives? Is it piston slap?:confused: BTW this motor has less than 1000Kms on it... Not sure if this has been touched on here. It certainly likes the higher revs.
