I don't like little screaming engines. I've owned them before, and driven newer ones.
Screaming? Towing a load, my old company work truck V8 5.0L with a 3.55 rear ratio would be the one screaming versus the V6 3.5L EB with a 3.15 that later replaced it towing the same trailer. I could pull hills in 5th with the V6 EB that would cause the V8 5.0L to drop to 3rd screaming the whole way up.
Really depends on what type of driving you do. I can see an advantage for the V8 with low rpm linear power for slow driving off road.
For highway towing the 3.5 EB can't be beat.
The wife is starting to look at the 4 door Jeep Wranglers again, but I would like to hold off to see what the new Bronco has to offer including ride quality.
