My 8.1l/Allison combination is a good mix. Some people talk it down saying it is noisy and will not last. That is driver dependant.
Yes, I can pull a house with it, but to tell you the truth, it's a daily driver for me. I get between 12 and 15 mpg...not bad. i have the LS package and it is quieter than most of the '07 vehicles i've been test driving to replace my wife's explorer.
The only problem with it is it wants to cruise...It feels comfortable cruising,yet....
I keep catching myself hitting the 80-85 mph spot on the speedo...
I love it and won't get rid of it even though GM Nat. service is very poor with customer care. I had a problem that a regional tech/rep as well as the service tech and service writer acknowledged and was inspected by an engineer. The engineer wrote it off as normal body noise. I brought it to a different dealer and pointed out the problem (driver side tie rod) and was subsequently fixed. if you have vibes in steering...look there.
Peace to you all.
