I am very skeptical and wish people were more honest when saying that they do not even know the trailer is back there. Are you kidding me ? You hook up a 3500 lbs trailer to a CUV with a 3.6 v6 and maybe on a flat road or downhill it may be easy on the car, but moving from a stop sign, or uphill those Lambdas need to work.
My Explorer with 4.6 v8 and "book" towing capacity of 7100 knows when I even pull 4000 behind me.
Not everyone necessarily means the same thing when they say "can't feel it back there". They may mean acceleration, they may mean how it handles.
And don't forget that engine technology has advanced. This is a direct-injected V6 we're talking about. I'm sure it moves from a stop sign just fine.
