Default I don't hear much about the 3.8L motor...

How does it compare to the 3.0 & 3.3? I just bought a 2000 GC Sport with the 3.8L motor... seems nice! I have a small Pop-up camper (1500lb. +/-) that I may use the GC to tow, it has the towing package on the van. Any thoughts on towing with this vehicle? Anything special to watch for?

Thanks for your responses and Happy Holiday!

the 3.8 is just a bored & stroked 3.3, its a good motor, with a tiny bit more torque off idle compared to a 3.3

3.3 is more for a spirited driver (aka me )

& the Mitsubishi 3.0 is okay, if you like relying on a timing belt, & having a trail blue smoke following you everywhere, plus fixin' them all the time

it'll be fine towing that little pop-up
