More hp = more fun but the above to me indicates a driver issue rather than an engine/power issue.

Everything is heavy these days. And with the turbo charged 4 cylinders now yeah you can zip along just fine in big SUVs with sub 250hp. But your sucking a large load of fuel to do it.
Just ask the new Ram owners that have that inline 6 how their fuel economy is while doing truck things...it's two or three times worse than a 5.7L Hemi V8. Weight to power ratio is real. And should be considered when buying a new vehicle. I'd hate to buy a new tundra with a new Iforce Max.
Or any 1 ton with a 4 banger. That's awful.
