    It's the "non Eco mode"...it should say "Balls"

    Would rather Toyota added a Eco Mode button to the truck for those who are ok with the Gutless driving experience and want to get +1mpg. The rest of us can get the truck to stay in the power band and have some halfway decent throttle response without having to floor it.

    Yes I have to use the ETC button to get decent power out of the truck this is my main complaint. When I first test drove it I felt maybe I accidentally got in the 4cylinder.
