As a side note on this topic, I've been test driving 1500's because I dont need an old 2500 diesel anymore. And the Ford 2.7L Eco has a stupid amount of lag from a dead stop going WOT. I noticed this on more than one 2.7 Eco. I believe its from a small displacement engine with not alot of HP without the turbo singing. I notice the 3.5 eco has much much less lag at dead stop Wot. More displacement and more hp to get the ball rolling.
I expect the GM will suffer the same issue. I know its not a big deal for some, or even most people, but its a deal breaker for me.
Depending on how hard you were pushing it from a stop it probably was the traction control reducing power a bit, I know that my 3.5 would pull better and hard if you eased into the throttle than if you just put it to the floor.
I would agree with this, but it was clearly not TC. It was almost as bad as a dead pedal.
Though, the 3.5 was much much better than the 2.7L. While the 3.5L wasnt instantaneous, it wasnt bad at all. But the 2.7 literally was at least 1.5 second lag.
