The V6's that are currently used and were used are good engines, just weak, old, underpowered and bad economy.

Chevy 4.3L 200/260
Dodge 3.7L 210/235
Ford 4.0L 200/240

They are not horrible engines, but they got V8 economy, slow, can struggle to pull a load if you try to max them out which is around 5,000lbs iirc. Sale figures for these V6's are horrible. With the redesigned F150, Ford actually dropped their V6 and added a V8.
But hopefully, V6's like this will get economy better than their V8 counterparts and be more drivable.
The Ram is supposed to get the 3.6L V6 Pentastar next year I think, so that will be exciting. That will leave Chevy to put in their 3.6L V6 as well.
