I don't know what trim line you ended up with or what else you plan on doing with it, but a more efficient final ratio may be available.

EPA estimates your SUV to get 15 combined. If you increase by 50% Which, is doable by avoiding the brakes, slowing down a bit, and making sure your tires are inflated, you are still only getting 22mpg.

fuel economy readout is very key

If mileage is a concern there may be more suitable vehicles.
