Go with the bigger engine if your wallet can handle the mileage.
Detailed review:
I've owned this SUV about a year and a half. I have to say that it is very roomy and does have all the bells and whistles short of the leather interior. The problem with this vehicle is the performance. I have the 4.6L engine and I must say that it is too small for this size of a vehicle. I know there is a bigger engine, but this one is bad enough on the gas mileage. Also, I do notice some shaking at higher speeds (above 65mph). Overall I would rate this one at a 75%. Cosmetically, it is impressive both inside and out but I need something with a bit more pep.
