If you are changing cars consider going with the 2003 and up models. The 4.2L has so many improvements over the 4.0L engine.

It really is a better car.

You need to give far more details and what you want to know. Being so terse simply hurts you.

Worse. In differant areas due to low miles. Things like plastic and rubber are going to be in worse shape not driving than driving. And yeah the 4.2 is better and the trans and suspension too on the 03 and up. Ive had to replace all the suspension already on my 2000 when i bought it with 56k, 2yrs ago

Again, get rid of the 2001 and buy a 2003 and up model. You will spend a ton on the early car.
