Hyundai engines are almost entirely direct injected. Some manufacturers do that better then others but DI is not a good thing even in a properly designed engine.
Pretty much every engine designed within the last 15 years is direct injected, that's not something that's even remotely exclusive to Hyundai. Direct injection is good for about 15% better fuel economy, it's basically a requirement to make CAFE standards. You seem to have a beef against Hyundai since you're bashing them in every post here. I don't own one but know several people with them and they've been universally happy. I'd certainly pick one over any domestic maker.
To the OP, you're probably asking this question on the wrong forum. As you can see, whenever someone asks a question like "I know it’s not a real truck, but other than that how about value as a grocery getter, or for a dump run?" the chorus immediately chimes in that nothing less than a $100K King Ranch Ford F350 PowerStroke dually will do to haul groceries or a bag of garbage.
