Ive never had one, but i have driven one. The diff between my Grand 4.0 and the 5.9 was huge.. The power the car has just from going at a stop was almost scary because i wasnt used to the power.. Id say it was like having 2 4.0 engines in one car. Its pretty beefy i can tell you that.

Gas mileage was pretty crappy tho, like my 4.0 gets 17-19mpg average this one was got like 11-13

Hey, a Jeeps a Jeep. It's a big family. You might not like one of them but you have to accept it anyway. IMO

Thats probably because you couldn't keep your foot out of the pedal! My 5.2 averages 19-21mpg when I'm not driving it like I stole it. Also, my 5.2 has as much if not more power than a stock 5.9! My 4.0 gets 18-22mpg.
