Just purchased a 2018 with easiest. I am fimular with it as I had worked on electric vehicle programs previous to my retirement several years ago. First off, you can turn it off if you don't like it. I travel a lot and wanted the mileage. I bought the 2WD crew cab. 8 speed. My first 2WD in many a year, but just don't need it for anything. I am loving my fuel economy. I can get 25mpg (calculated) being conservative as I drive, but doing the speed limit. I drove many electric vehicles for several years as the technology was being tested, so I know how to drive. I am averaging 22mpg hwy and city. I don't mind the start/stop feature at all.
I am loving this so far, will see how it goes but works good for me with the 3;08 and 8 speed.
