It definitely needs to use all the revs though. The truck would be so much better (and quicker) with an 8 speed auto instead of the long geared and archaic 5 speed auto. The throttle tuning is also terrible. It feels like BMW's Eco Pro throttle.
4Runner with 150hp 3.slow V6 was miserable, but the 4cyl even more. Poor mileage, power, everything. Those low compression v6s were bad. Clutch was smooth though.

It depends a lot. In the 2000s high compression V6s became a thing and all of a sudden 240-300hp was the norm out of a V6.
