Equipped with the 4.6, the Tundra—at least in the four-wheel-drive Double Cab guise we sampled—won’t light up its tires like it does with the 5.7-liter, yet it is perfectly adequate, allowing one to scoot around town with reasonable gusto and without fear of losing the rear end around every corner. Besides, as we realized—vividly—during a recent stint with a Tundra short cab powered by a supercharged version of the 5.7-liter (with 504 hp and 550 lb-ft of torque), driving overpowered Tundras can become a frustrating battle of wits between the driver and the stability control system—un-fun except in the most controlled circumstances.
