    Great motor and I am not knocking the V8 but I am at 287k with the original timing chain on my V6 (knocks on wood!).

    Yeah, just remember timing belt every 90,000ish miles and regular oil changes and it’ll last a very long time. The timing chain vs timing belt is one thing the v6’s have over the v8

    Welcome. I’m at 267K on my ’07 and spent last weekend wheeling in the ice and mud at Windrock Park in TN. These things will go almost anywhere and last forever with the proper care.
