I personally like the I5, it gets the job done for what the truck was meant to do. It's not a race car, and it never was meant to be.
This reminds me, I watched the Aussie Top Gear on youtube yesterday, what a joke. They raced an H2 Limo around their track... What are these people smoking?

the 5 does get the job done, but sometimes i gotta floor the thing to get up a small hill.

Re: 3.7L 5 Cylinder vs.........
The I-5 does have to stress a lot and that goes for small tasks such as passing another vehicle on the freeway. It'll be interesting to see if these motors can handle 150K+ miles with all the stress and high revving it displays.

Re: 3.7L 5 Cylinder vs.........

Dam Im expecting 250,000 + miles
I find it doesnt work to hard climing hills,
Unless the 4,000 lb campers hooked up then it strugles to get up the long steep hills.
I find when towing go into the hill at 65 to 70MPH then by the top I end up about 50MPH and it will stay in 3rd gear.If I try to keep it at 55 or 60MPH it goes down to 2nd and revs about 5,000 + RPM and fights to climb the hill.
