    My 2016 TRD Sport is at the dealer for step tubes. I was loaned a DC 2015. I noticed the weight and my 2011 Access cab I traded seemed much faster than the 2015 DC-V6 I driving today.
    I would say seems a half second slower or more 0-60.

    It may be with the 6-speed tranny's conservative programming. Did you compare using ECT Power mode?
