I agree

Work truck = 235" yes (I have own 3 or 4 in times past)

Play truck = small block

Pont of interest “When the original Toyota FJ-40 was first introduced in the USA (early sixties) it was equipped with Japans version of a 235” inline six. Some might tell you it was the best all around off road 4X4 vehicle ever made.
