Is this a manual or automatic transmission? When was the last time the fluid was changed? If it's a 4 speed and a 4 cylinder engine than that could be the right RPM. It could also be the overdrive is not working. Some SUVs have a overdrive override button on or near the shifter.
I would replace the fuel filter(every 35000 miles),check the condition of the air filter and check out the catalitic converter and feel the tail pipe to see if the flow seems clogged and weak when some one else gives it the gas.
My 2001 had to have a new cat at only 44000 miles. I had them install a "High Flow" type.
if battery is weak the idle air control solenoid will search for the right position and stall have battery load tested if good put in a idle air control solenoid..
