Quote: I know the 4.0 can be pretty thrifty when matched up to a manual transmission.
You're the first person I've ever heard refer to the 4.0 as "thrifty"!
I'd go so far as to call it "perky" also! It just made a 2200 mile/2 1/2 day trip from Illinois to San Diego by the southern route loaded to the roof and pulling a trailer. Not one problem. Didn't even blow a trailer tire... probably because we had 2 spares.
