Plenty of power for daily use, and even though there is little MPG difference on the window sticker, real world use proves time and again that the 4.7 pulls down WAY better mileage.

My wife has an '04 (generation prior) with the non-HO 4.7, and it is great. Easy to average 20+ on the highway, and I can get mid-upper teens out of it in mixed driving. Her cousin with an '05 Limited with the Hemi is lucky to average mid teens on the highway.
