Confused test drive

I test drove 2020 ORP without KDSS at one dealership, I liked the car, the pickup was ok, not amazing but it was acceptable. When I went to test drive the car that I was picking up from a different dealership with KDSS, the pickup was realllllly bad. Now this car had a new engine smell when I floored it, while the previous one didn't. The sales rep was shocked about my complaint said its normal with a brand new engine, am I missing something?, is it really a new car thing, can there be that big of a difference from one dealer to the next ?

You driving a 2 ton + SUV with a V6.

What is this pickup you talk about?

Not sure what you are trying to get at. The 4R is by no means the most powerful thing on the road. But its more than sufficient.
 
Never understood how people think a SUV that is built for offroad with ok on the road manners is going to have performance like a sport SUV. If you want performance and comfort buy a sport SUV like BMW X5/X6, Audi Q5, or even Ford Explorer eco boost. They won't get you far off the trail but they will accelerate faster. Damn the highlander hybrid or v6 is faster than our 4 runner and it rides better on the road.
 
The OP is not complaining about the acceleration in all 4Runners, he's questioning a noticeable difference between two specific vehicles. Two identical 4Runners, but one accelerates better than the other.

It could be an engine break-in period thing. Do you remember how many miles were on the first one you drove?

I can't imagine there would be a noticeable difference regardless of the mileage. Since both were being sold as new, they had to be not too far apart in miles. Does KDSS limit squat when accelerating? If so, maybe he just perceived a difference because the nose didn't lift as much. Just a thought.
 
Yeah I can NEVER understand people that whine about the "hole shot" on their 4Runners!!:der::wow2::rtfm::shocked: It's an SUV that is SO Capable of what it WAS/IS Designed for Street driven/OFF ROAD Mastering!!!:ybrick::redbrick::shrug:

When I picked up my vehicle, I never even test drove it. It's a PRO, why would you? Anyways, on the way home I thought, gawd, this thing is a dog. So, a tank or two of Premium (non-ethanol) fuel and with a few miles on the engine, it started moving along quite well. That, or I just got used to it, but I don't think so. Good fuel can make a difference.

Just putting this up here again as a reminder for the majority folks lol
 
Majority know wtf hes asking. Majority don't care and just like giving a little shit for it.

Like we are supposed to know what 2 different 4Runners we never test drive felt like. I mean its brand new take it back?
 
Only things I can think of would be if something got into the intake box and made a big enough nest to substantially restrict airflow. Possible the parking brake wasn't fully released? Maybe the second dealer got some bad gas? Assuming rims/tires were same and no dealer "upgrade" aftermarket pieces added?

Outside of those thoughts, I have no clue why one would be significantly slower than the other.
 
Thank you for the feedback, most of you only read up to the part "you have a small penis" and lost your shit. Im not hating on the acceleration, as I have stated in my post, one 4runner was completely fine and while the other was not. I'm going to guess it was either cheap gas or the engine needed more priming. Nonetheless I'm still shopping for a 4runner and would love to be a part of the small penis society. Im wondering if this mentality will still be around when Toyota releases say a v8 4runner with 350hp and 40mpg ?

It is not the size that matters but how you use it....

That's what i have heard from a friend of a friend's neighbor at least....:shrug:
 
tempguy I hope you get the price you wanted, for under 40k below. my buddy got his 2018 kdss for 38k in Colorado and drove it back down to Houston. premium gas, maybe a sprint booster or pedal command for quicker throttle response and yes a varied speed driving break in would be advised. good luck, penis out
