Perhaps I should explain... my "SUV" is actually a work truck. I need a truck for my equipment and ladders and I need an extended cab for clients. I could have gotten a smaller engine, but in Moncton, New Brunswick, Canada, you take what's on the lot or you order one. If you order one, your stuck with whatever piece of crap gets delivered because the quality control for Ford trucks is only number one (as the ad goes) if it's built for general sale, apparently. My last truck, which was a custom order, was a lemon from day one - one problem after another. So you choose from the stock on the lot... hence AC and V8 in my case. But I do like it.
