I've got almost 44K on my 00 now. That 4.7L won't hardly know the V's back there, but I wouldn't tow in OD. Mine does a good job towing my HYDRA-SPORTS, and it's heavier than a V-20. And if you don't mind a little extra noise, swap out the exhaust on it and she'll wake right up on ya even more. I've got a K&N filter and a IMCO exhaust with a MAGNA-FLOW muffler in mine and it will flat MOVE. It also helped in towing as towing my HYDRA-SPORTS in 3rd she only wanted to do 58-60 without kicking out of lock-up, now I can run 80 in 3rd and lock-up. Chances are good to that your 03 has 3.92 rear gears as in 03 they had the 5 speed tranny whereas mid 02 and older only had the 4 speed single over-drive. I have the older model with 3.54 gears. It also get you some decent milage if you can stay out of the throttle. I drove about 250 miles TUESDAY and averaged almost 19 MPG according to the overhead keeping her under 62, and 55 will get me a shade over 20 MPG.

Mine, exhaust is different now though.
