Anecdote: I thought my V6 rental was a 4 cyl - it was so gutless.

Turns out the trans refuses to downshift/constantly gear hunts is the #1 complaint of that gen. The Atkinson cycle V6 even has a torque dip between 2700 and 4k rpm wtf!

Got same fuel economy as a 2.7 Ecoboost F150…

Ranger wise the 2.3T feels way stronger than Tacoma current and previous gen V6, let alone the 2.7/3.0T
