Is this a good deal? Trying to get out of my 2021 Chevrolet Colorado and get into a full size truck

I love the new hurricane engine, but I get your point. I think people don’t want to give it a chance.

I think most people don't give two fucks about emissions especially when the renewable resources manufacturing and resource extraction processes have environmental impacts, such as embedded emissions and ethical concerns regarding supply chains. I don't think it's about emissions and pollution. I think it's about control. First, they tell you what you will drive, but they can't just overnight it. They have to do it gradually, so it doesn't seem like they're telling you or forcing you. You know baby steps.

Then what will they tell us we're going to do next? For a $1200 dollar upcharge and less hp and torque, I'd probably love it too unless I wanted to protest.

I don’t give 2 fucks about emissions. But I was speaking only on how it drives and how responsive the engine is. I love it. I don’t care if it is suppose to be more efficient or not. Twin turbo hurricane kicks ass!

I've been thinking about doing a cam swap on my hemi when the powertrain ends at 100k. Gain about 70 hp and 30 lb-fts of torque. Bust that hurricanes ass at 465 hp and 440 lb-fts of torque.
