I just drive fast; always have. I will say though that with the Gen 4 90 to 100 mph feels like 70mph. The Toyota absolutely nailed the driving dynamics. The truck doesn't even break a sweat and is rock solid with RPMs around 2K. I don't drive 100 all that often, but on most of the trips these past few weeks I've noticed myself going 97 and slowed down to 80-85. NOTE: I'm not one of those assholes that weaves in and out of cars if they're going slower. I'm pretty considerate!
I agree - what blows my mind is when I drive on the highway it genuinely feels like a sports sedan in terms of both power and handling — and then when I park the truck and look at it, I see a 5400 pound brick with 12-14 inches of running clearance and I am incredibly impressed by how toyota was able to deliver such an aggressive truck that drives almost like a Mercedes

As someone who lost a family member to others' poor judgement and behavior in public roads I say being considerate is you race or only increase risk not on public roadways.

My nephew a most difficult surgeries team lead and some first responder associates also have strong opinions for that behavior. It is a lot different when someone does themselves in on a race course or in properly organized sport than when they are trying to save someone horribly harmed by an ass clown with poor judgement.

I get the fun available with autos and sports but get even more of it in ways that don't add risk to others. Personally I channeled it to stuff like sports or when I was an auto club participant who did stuff on closed courses.

You are certainly entitled to your opinion, including perceiving me as "...an ass clown with poor judgement ". Personally I don't care what your opinion is.

Im at 10,000 miles and ive done 3 oil changes already. Two under 5000 during break in, and the last one at 5000. I have noticed it looks quite darker and more of a smokey smell to the oil at 5000, than my third gen. The turbo is definitely working the oil more.

Using Amsoil synthetic and Im definitely continuing a 5,000 mile interval on this engine after this observation.

Interesting. I’ve done 2 in the last 10K miles. I’m definitely not going beyond 5K between intervals. This just reaffirms that. I’m also running premium fuel for the performance and longevity benefits.

I would consider you guys look into running Amsoil signature series. It’s the best oil money can buy especially for turbocharged engines
