I jumped to the 4.7 V8 for the difference in tow capacity -- up from 3,500 pounds with V6 to 6500 with the V8. (Of course, Hemi is even higher tow capacity but I don't need that.)
So far (2600 miles) I'm loving the small V8. Very tractable, accelerates smartly and mileage is tolerable. Only thing I've towed so far is a small UHaul trailer with some furniture in it and it 'wasn't even there.' I have a lightweight boat now with perhaps a heavier one in the furture, so I'm glad I have that extra towing capacity.
