The mileage is about the same with a Hemi. If you tow much, you may want to find a Hemi-equipped one. Apparently, the 4.7s over-heat, but I don't know how many actually do.

Edmunds.com can help you determine how valid the deal is.

If you can find one for a good deal, get the Hemi. That added power is nice!!
