I don't like the trend of putting turbos in large SUV's either. Blame the emission standards which get stricter every year. I believe car companies need to be, on average under a certain figure every year or they get penalized. I'm sure Toyota would have continued making the V6 if they could have. That said, while very reliable, the V6 Forerunner is extremely under powered for it's size. That truck needed at least 300 hp and over 300 pound feet of torque to be able to handle highway driving. It might be good off road, but it is one of the slowest vehicles on the road.
