The high-output 4.7-liter V8, standard on the Overland and optional on the Limited, brews up an impres-sive 260 horsepower and 330 pound-feet of twisting force. Next step up is the 4.7-liter V8, rated at 235 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque. Matched to a four-speed automatic gearbox, this aged powerplant provides adequate acceleration, but lacks refinement in terms of noise and vibration control. The Grand's standard engine is a 4.0-liter inline six that produces 195 horsepower and 230 pound-feet of torque. And keeping everyone cool is an improved air conditioner that has been modified for quicker cabin cool-down. Adding safety are optional side-curtain airbags and power adjustable pedals.
