[QUOTE="georgiaken, post: 188254, member: 4604"] The 5.7L Hemi has MDS. Basically, it runs on 4 cylinders unless it needs all 8. The mileage is almost exactly the same as the 4.7L V8, so I went with the Hemi. My last truck was the Land Rover parked behind the GC in the picture. It's a 3.9L V8...the GC gets better gas mileage, has waaaaay more horses and more torque. Both trucks have full time 4WD and eat does tend to eat up gas. I wanted an SUV that would do double duty as a tow vehicle and something "small enough" that my wife would like to drive it. I started out wanting a Tahoe or Yukon...in the end, the GC just made more sense for us. Her dad has an F150 and she doesn't like to drive that...so, smaller seemed better. I don't tend to associate great gas mileage with V8s :) The GC V6 actually has more HP and torque than my old truck, so even that would have been better than what I had. [/QUOTE]
