Looking at getting into a Dodge....
I currently own a Jeep GC but would like a bit more room and more hauling/tow capabilities. I've found a few 06-07 1500 QC 4x4's, some are big horn, some are 4.7 and others are 5.7. The one I have my eye on is an 07 Grey Big Horn QC 4x4 but it has the 4.7. I know most people will say to get the HEMI but how underpowered is the 4.7? I know it's great in the WJ Jeep! The truck has like 22k miles and they want 20,000 for it. I'd be doing a Tuner/catback/CAI/leveling kit, etc. Also, I need to tow a 3500 race car on a open trailer. Would this 4.7 truck be enough for that? I could do a gear swap too. Thanks so much!

Well the Hemi one I'm looking at is 7,000 more but it has a leveling kit with pro comp wheels/tires. Will the 4.7L be able to tow a car on an open trailer fine?
EDIT- I just saw that the 07 4.7L only puts out 235HP, compared to 345 on the HEMI, I thought it was 310hp on the 4.7. I'm thinkin' the HEMI would be a much better choice, if only I can find the HEMI with all the options I want!!

But is the HEMI really worth the extra HP? I mean I'm not looking at racing the truck, but towing my race car So I wonder if the gas mileage increase would be better, even if not much. I don't tow often and I just need a good daily driver, plus the bolt ons should wake it up?
