Watch it Will!! :)~
Some of us are Jeepers as well as Dakota owners. What do you think I tow my
Jeep with?
To be fair, the 4.7l is only in the Grand Cherokees this year. I hope they
do actually put it in a wrangler. I would love a V8 Wrangler from the
factory!!

Hi there.
In my opinion you would be best advised to stay away from the new
4.7 and stick with the proven 318. A few magazine articles have showed
that the new powerplant doesent have the same low end grunt as our
pushrod motors 5.2's do. Along with this is the fact the the 4.7 has yet
to prove its reliability. Maybe in 10 years or so people will begin
switching, hey by then there will finnaly be after market parts for it
the way there is for our 318 & 360's now!.
Besides its the same motor that is used this year in the Jeeps, yuck!
