I felt the same way test driving mine. "You can't be serious, right?" For me, the decision was based on the fact there is literally NOTHING else out there to buy in a new off-road worthy SUV since Nissan disco'd the Xterra. Ironically, I too have a 2015 Pathfinder and agree... feels like a sports car compared to the T4R... sorry guys, just the truth. I was coming from a 2006 Xterra with a comparable 4.0L V6 with a great motor and even nearly identical final drive ratios in every gear. T4R feels like a dog comparatively. You just have to wind it up to get any power out of it. Typical Toyota... all mid to high end power.

PS, salesman told me it was cuz the tranny was electronically controlled and "needs to get used to your driving style," lol.
