    I have a 2020 4cyl loaner. Wow, what a dog. I don't think this thing can get out of its own way.

    lol learn to drive it or take it back, mine gets out its own way just fine. ever use ECT for around town? That helps. Here’s someone that knows how to drive a 4 cylinder, beats the V6 for the first part of the race so not a dog if you know how to drive it: ;)

    Neither the 4 cylinder or the V6 are racing engines in these heavy trucks by the way.

    They don’t, at least not in your case. Apples and oranges comparison. Your truck weighs about 465 lbs more than my 4x2 access cab when stock. So they don’t put a 4 cylinder in your truck.

    I've got a Double cab 3rd gen 4 cylinder. It is just fine to get me back and forth to work and to run errand around town. I'm not winning races but then again i'm in no hurry

    I have one, but a 2017 5speed manual. Mine feels more than adequate.

    Yeah it's crazy.
    It's slow. It's a loner so good enough. Would never waste my money to buy a 4bsnger truck though. Not sure if it should even be called a truck. More like a child's toy. ‍♂️

    Well we are a family of four. I'm 6'1 and my son (6'4) we usually sit up from with the seats all the way back. The wife and daughter are in the back and it can be quite cramped for them. On short trips around town it's ok but anything of length might get uncomfortable. Majority of my driving though i'm alone or have only one passenger so this truck works for me. I haven't had to drive with family and a load in the back yet. Be curious how it would do now lol.
