Just an observation but Rick is correct about a 3-4 liter V6, modern ones can turn 6500 rpm and be making 90% of the torque peak there. Able to drop a gear lower than a V8 or Diesel makes up for a lot of the apparent power difference.

ps if you work at it a new 2WD Grand Cherokee Laredo with V6 and towing package can be had for a touch under $30k. With the older 5-speed I get 22-24 mpg on the Interstate, 19 around town, and 17-18 towing the TM @ 65ish.
