Got that right!

 

I'm with Eric here. Don't judge it right away after the first 800 miles. Especially if you're trying to compare it to a Hemi Durango. Wait 'til it's got a few thousand and then see what you think.

Exhaust and intakes are things to consider, too, if you have the $$$.

 

I'm driving a V6 6-spd manual and I think its real good for the size and weight of the truck. I got lots of power, feels stronger then alot of other V6 trucks ive driven. I think its the auto tranny. My manual makes my V6 really nice for what its pullin.

 

uh, call me crazy but i think it's those 3.92 gears you got.. it's got to be in the powerband more with those.. my truck is a pooch yet.. but, the ol' 05 only had a hair over 6700 on it tho so i guess it's not broken in yet..

 

I would suggest pushing the tow/haul mode button around town--disengaging the O/D.....It won't bogg into O/D like it usually does....It will hold third until 45mph then, if you're not still accelerating, will drop into 4th.....When you deaccelerate to about 30, the tranny will back down into 3rd again. With the O/d off in the tow-haul mode, it's definantly easier to use the RPMs in your favor.

 

I think they all have tow/haul, because they still are meant to haul, even if they don't have the tow packages. But I might be wrong.

The tow pack can come with any gearing (except maybe the 3.21s). I have the tow pack, but the 3.55 gears (they wouldn't give me the 3.92s and a stick). Getting the lesser gears just knocks 1500 lbs. off the maximum tow capacity.

 

I'm not sure if mine has the tow package or not, but I do know I have the 3.55 gearing and I have the tow/haul mode (4.7L v8 auto).

 

If your's has the tow pack, the easiest way to tell is to check under your rear bumper. If there's a Class IV receiver hitch and wiring for 7 pin and 4 pin trailer electric, you have it. You'll also have larger, heated mirrors. None of the above means no tow pack.
