Nonsense. I've driven much faster, smoother, and quieter cars than my 4Runner, but nothing's been even remotely close to its utility and overall usefulness and, as a result, overall joy of ownership.

People put louder exhausts on their machines on purpose and a host of manufacturers inject exhaust/engine noise into their audio systems to mimic bigger engines because electric is blech.

If someone made an electric 4Runner or reasonably priced truck, I might consider it, but I don't think anything but commuter cars are close.
