and also on my information as an owner of a 2005 Ascender the horsepower is rated at 291 on the 4.2L engine and also the Ascender is available as a 5 passenger or 7 passenger model depending on the size that the owner wants. They seem to sell more of the 7 pass model. Also a much larger V-8 engine is available and most dealers have several of the V-8 models on the lot and is more suited for those that tow heavy boats trailers, farm trailers, etc. The mileage estimates if equipped with the 4.2l in-line six are:
My mileage combined city/hwy using Mobil One synthetic oil has been 17/22 mph while using the air cond for the whole period and now I have stopped using the A/C and hope to get some higher mpg driving statictics. I really love this SUV more than anything that I have ever owned before with the exception of my Harley Davidson XLR.
