Yeah it's great from 50-70 mph. For a v6 and the weight of the vehicle it has plenty of power. Hauled a 17' boat 150 miles too and from our yearly camping location. If the suspension wasn't worn out so bad it would have been hardly noticeable. Torque wise it pulled no problem even in its old age lol
Highway milage has improved about 1.5-2 mpg with roof rack xbar removed and about 70% upper grille block. Looking into a few other things before drastic. Body seems to be going before motor. I'm also under the impression that the timing chain was replaced by the original owner. Was the wife's vehicle long before we got together so not really sure on details. Can't hear anything to indicate problems with it.
