My personal experience:
2002 Durango 5.9L = towing bulldog, but crappy racer![Smile](https://dodgeforum.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif)
I'm also comparing it to my 2000 Camaro SS
, so the Durango had nothing on "speed" but could pull my house down the block.
5.9L = 245 HP/335 lb-fr
5.2L = 230 HP/300 lb-ft
4.7L = 235 HP/295 lb-ft
Relatively low compared to smaller displacements from other manufacturers (hell even the 5.7L Hemi = 335 HP/375 lb-ft).
But keep in mind, they have a tow rating just under the 1/2 ton Ram trucks for a "small SUV".
Their weight is another major factor.
As mentioned above, full tune-up should help, but also consider the other typical bolt-on upgrades (headers, CAI, etc.).
Another area to make some good gains is installing electric fans
