Need a Spot

I have a 95 SR dohc with 168k miles. Recently test drove a 2000 Montero with the 3.5 sohc and 90k miles. The 2000 did not accelerate as fast as my old 95. Both had the same size tires, 265/70x15's, I think. The 2000 did not feel as strong in the 3000 to 4000 rpm range. I am sure the 2000 is geared numerically lower.

95 Montero SR, 189k miles
89 Dodge Raider, 189k miles
