Two reasons. One, the 4x4 is heavier, and two, the 5.9 is a stronger
engine. Now before the 4.7 guys start flaming, I know that a 4.7 5spd
will keep up with an R/T which is a 5.9 auto, but that's because the
5spd is more efficient than the auto putting power to the wheels. In
front of the same tranny the 5.9 will be faster. So let's please not
start the 4.7 vs. 5.9 battle again, I'm just answering the man's
question.
