2004 3.0 or 4.4. Which should I buy? Has anyone driven both?

especially after my transmission upgrade, and when there's fog

in case you haven't decided yet...

nobody is trying to tell you that a 3.0 is as fast and powerful as a 4.0, that would be idiotic.

But if 3-5K matter to you, trust me, you are not missing much by going with the 3.0. and that story that they give you the same mileage... boy oh boy... just look at the stickers at the dealership.
