I drive a '23 Tundra with the Hybrid Turbo V6. I say it's freakin' fast, efficient (19mpg) quiet, and bad ass. Others say it's gay. What say you?
 
I drive a 2025 F150 Raptor. V6 twin turbo with all the power I’ll ever need—but then I’m 76 and gave up the overpowering need for speed some time ago. The V8 version is awesome, but $20,000 or so for a better sound is a bit much.
 
I have a new F150 powerboost hybrid with the 3.5 Twin turbo V6.
Not too much gay about a 500+hp truck that has 600+ lb/ft of torque.
The small diesel pickups have less than 500ft/lbs of torque.
People can call me whatever they want as I dust them. 😆
 
In the illustrious words of Ricky Bobby: "The room's starting to spin real fast... cause, cause of the gayness..."

Pretty sure if you have to ask whether or not something's gay, that means it probably is.
 
I have a couple of friends that drive Fords with turbo V-6's, they do a lot of towing and swear by them; I think they're gay.
 
2014 Ford Raptor- ported, polished and tuned. It sounds like a Harley and averages under 11mpg. It's perfect

Last year of the 6.2L V8. No chance I'll get the V6- turbo, supercharged, twin turbo- whatever

As soon as they called it "Eco" something, it's dead to me
 
My wife got her ecoboost f150 new in 2017. The only way we could get the payload required was with the ecoboost and i didnt like the idea. Well all I can say is I have been blown away with that 3.5 l twin turbo. She hauls a 3 horse goose neck trailer thats about 9000 pounds loaded usually a couple times a week and until I bought my 2025 superduty diesel it has been the best pulling truck I have ever hauled with. I would buy another one even though v6 is kinda gay......

This right here 👆🏼, even though I can’t afford to drive one this is the correct opinion.
