I was never looking for an over-powered truck, it just wasnt helpful that as soon as you loaded anything in it you couldnt merge with traffic at a reasonable speed...
Maybe it's expectations. I don't think mine has any problem with performance, but then I expect it to take longer to accelerate - and to stop! - when it's got a heavy load. But I have the feeling that some people expect their trucks to do sub-8 second 0-60s while pulling a 10,000 lbs trailer, something that really PO's the horses, or the people following that load that you really didn't tie down as well as you'd thought :-)
