    With this new truck its either all or nothing when it comes to acceleration!!! My 2014 Sport seemed like a rocket ship at all throttle and rpm positions compared to this POS!!

    Welcome to the 3.5.. actually test drove a 2020 stick shift saturday and man it does like quite a bit gas to run smoothly. The anti roll back was a pretty cool quirk.

    Did not know that, but yes that particular one was a sport, hood looks nice from outside but driving it doesnt, to me at least.

    The K&N is hurting your feelings. Put the OEM back in as it is a true cold air intake system. The K&N isn't as it has an open filter under the hood.

    265tq and 278hp is amazing! Put your foot to the floor! This engine loves to be at 5500rpms all day long.

    Mines fast! It just has a really bad flat spot from about 1000-5000rpm.......

    Welcome to the 3.5L It has power just none you can actually use.

    OVT is great on the MT, esp the FOB tunes that give us the missing bottom end torque. It feels like a normal V6 now.

    it totally kicks ass especially when you get the exhaust and suspension right. i fly my truck around effortlessly. you also have to learn how to work with the power output on this particular motor or you won't extract its full performance.
