I teat drove the 3.9 v6 and it wasn't any faster than my old 4 banger toyota p/u. Total dog, and it has to work so hard to move the truck that many say milage isn't much better than the 4.7. Don't believe the stealers.

They're both good motors; I'd say look for your best deal. If the deal seems comparable, I'd favor the 4.7.

Scott, I towed a 18' camper that was over 3000# loaded and my 4.7 2wd CC was averaging 11-12mpg. Not too much flat land towing as we went to a lake at 9000'. Truck is pretty stock except for synthetic fluids, TPS mod and a redneck intake. Without being hitched to that 3000# load I usually get 18-19MPG ;)

Sounds about right - towing my boat or camper (4000-5000 lbs)will drop my milage to about 11 mpg.
