I should also say that the videos of the 5.3 w/ 6speed tranny are stock as well. So I dont' think it's fair to say they're "slow". It's just disappointing that they choke up such good engines. I'd take a truck with only 30k miles of warranty vs. 100k if it came tuned for max performance and a small break on the price.

I guess I need to drive a 6.2. I never have for two reasons first they only came in the Denali and that's just too fancy for me. Secondly you have to run premium fuel for max performance, I'm a tight-wad cheapo and that doesn't fit into my budget.
Sorry for the hijack but this is a question that's bothered me for a long time. I appreciate the info.

Ok,I bought a new 2010 crew cab 6.2 yesterday and it feels like a damn turd! I traded in a 2008 Tundra crewmax with a intake and exhaust on it. By all means the Tundra will smoke this truck. No questions about it. I didnt have the option to drive one before I purchased it since there was no dealers in the area with one available. Can someone tell me WTF is going on. Maybe I got a lemon or something......
Truck is a 2010 Crew with 6.2 ordered it with 3.73 gears and of course its an A6.

Was it from a dig? Did both of you have the "traction controlls" off. I know it's called the VSE in the tundra, that makes a big difference. I know in the latest truck shootout the Chevy Max w/ the 6.2 made it to 60 mph about a tenth of a second faster than the tundra so they are close.
I guess I need to drive a 6.2. I never have for two reasons first they only came in the Denali and that's just too fancy for me. Secondly you have to run premium fuel for max performance, I'm a tight-wad cheapo and that doesn't fit into my budget.
