If performance is your big push (and by comparing the 4.6 and not the 3.0/4.4, I'm guessing it is) then the SRT-8 is the easy winner. And if all you care about is hauling fishing equipment and smaller not-so-truck items, then the SRT-8 is probably a great choice.

Now if you have already, in your mind, narrowed it down to the 4.6 then obivously the newest you can afford would hold the most value.

Again, comes down to personal style. People will rag Jeep quality...but I can find you just as many people that will rag BMW quality. It's all relative, buy what you like...either vehicle is awesome.

Do you want to be King of the Bubbas at the boatramp? Go Jeep.

If you are hauling a vintage Riva on the other hand...

I wore the shoes out, but the jeans were sort of women's cut - tight in the waist, big in the hips, and tight in the thighs. Oh well, wadda want for $5?

Never been to CT.

My wife thinks my Sea Ray is too expensive, I don't think I'll be hauling any Rivas around.

We'll see how it works outs. Thanks for the input.

I love my X5 4.4 and pull a 23 foot Proline with it.

Good Luck and Have FUN.
