Well, I can't comment on the 3.9 version, but the 4.75 version has plenty of power. Drove one for a local Badcock store I worked at last year and it drove fine both in town and on the interstate. At least 20' box, and lift gate, empty or loaded with furniture, it drove really well. Turned on a dime and was pretty fast, actually. The interior is a bit cramped unless you get creative with your seating/slouching position <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Being that the 4.7 is a newer engine, you might have a hard time finding a cheaper one unless it has a lot of miles. Although the one Badcock has got over 100K within a year, so high mileage examples are out there I'm sure.

No issues with it other than a blown front blinker, but I'm sure the truck that pulled next to it and snagged it's trailer on the blinker lense, pulling it off, had somehting to do with that <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Doesn't require any special license BTW...
