I guess most guys are getting the "noise" confused. It is not a "noise" per say, it is the NORMAL sound of a V6 upon acceleration, is my guess. Whereas a V8 has a deep sound, the V6 is like the engine that couldn't... and THAT is the sound I hate. I fully understand that under normal driving, this is indeed one of the quietest trucks I have ever been in, but when you jump on it WOT, it sounds poor.... hope that helps...
As for why I settled on the V6 and not ordered a V8... I took advantage of the 0% financing on the late model inventory... this was the only truck that otherwise had all I wanted in it...
