I wound up with a Dodge Durango, 3.6L 290HP, w/6200# tow rating w/WD hitch, 8 speed selectable trans. and AWD. Rides better than the Explorer and just "feels" more substantial. Plus the Ford dealer wouldn't deal. This was ~2K less money. Has the tow package and the sales guy spoke "tow" whereas the Ford guy didn't.
Took my daughters family to the airport this AM at 0dark thirty and everyone (7 total + luggage) fit fine and were comfortable for the hour and a quarter ride.
