I really think that V8 in there is a better (driving and feel)engine then the 5th gen V6. On paper, the V6 has more power but its a little ways up the rev range. Whereas a V8 is , well, a V8. Tq down low and through out the rev range. That's the way an off road vehicle should feel like, not some high revving gas saving 4 cylinder ecnobox. That said, I am a big fan of their little 4 banger 22R motor even though its way under power.
