V8 Beast Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 5.7-liter Hemi V8 360hp 390tq. 14 city, 20 highway in 2WD, and 13 city, 20 highway in 4WD. http://image.motortrend.com/f/30514463+w750/2011-dodge-durango-rt-front-grill.jpg http://image.motortrend.com/f/30514583+w750/2011-dodge-durango-rt-front-3-quarters-view.jpg http://image.motortrend.com/f/30514574+w750/2011-dodge-durango-rt-dash-view.jpg http://image.motortrend.com/f/30514460+w750/2011-dodge-durango-rt-engine-view.jpg It looks better (imo) and from the sounds of it performs better. Could a tune and mods help with the shitty gas milage? if so I may end up getting a used one in 2014 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTQ B4U Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 Much nicer than previous years, especially inside, but IMO, there are way better rides to drop that coin on then a Dodge. MPG's suck ass really. Especially since you know damn well in the real world you're not going to get those numbers even. America in general should do better there.

If I ever considered something like this it would be a big heavy powerful 11 second modded tow toy. They dont make cars like they used to.. My V8 TA gets better gas milage than the V6 stratus and edge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TTQ B4U Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 http://chevyfan.files.wordpress.com/2007/07/trail-ss.jpg But unforunately not much has changed since June of 2001 when I had my 2002 LTZ though. The interior and options are actually worse on the newer models than I had on my LTZ. http://image.motortrend.com/f/30514574+w750/2011-dodge-durango-rt-dash-view.jpg http://images.usedcheapcars.org/used-chevrolet/2009-chevrolet-trailblazer-lt3/163_0812_03z_2009_chevrolet_trailblazer_ss_drivers_interior_view-ucc.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2 Sweet Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 I've never owned a Dodge, and I'm okay with that. +1 I'm sure it's better than past Durangos, but that isn't saying anything really Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 TBSS had a NAV unit as well. its still pretty close to a 2002 design from another company. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will say my 02 had far better build quality inside than my 03 Accord did. It also had a pretty kick ass sound system for a stock unit. Was fun but I only kept it for about 2 years. http://www.pbase.com/timothylauro/image/7894556/original.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V8 Beast Posted March 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 Please dont' post anymore GM interiors, I might throw up. I never understood over-dressing the inside of a car. As long a I can reach the radio and the steering wheel doesnt prevent me from getting satisfactory road head I'm good to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nurkvinny Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 It's like they came close... but, "missed it by that much." I test drove an 05ish 4x4 with leather, NAV, Hemi, 3rd row, sunroof, etc. Very nice ride on the highway. Haven't gotten to see a new one in person yet. I'm sure an SRT model is on the horizon.

El Karacho1647545492 Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 function>form modern > dated IMO if you're gonna drop money on an SUV, these days the nicest looking and best value is Grand Cherokee. Maserati is making a new SUV on that platform I think. http://www.headlightblog.com/images/200905/2011-jeep-grand-cherokee-limited-uconnect-guardian.png http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/archive/c/c5/20100707234037!2011-Jeep-Grand-Cherokee-Limited-SMH.jpg edit: also, I couldn't live with the TBSS steering wheel. Not a single spoke without a damn button on it. edit2: yeah i know the Jeep and the Durango are basically the same, I'd just rather have the Jeep...they hold their value better despite having more problems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Jones Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 On topic: That durango is the nicest american SUV I have seen in a long time. I really think it hits the right buttons on the outside and inside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V8 Beast Posted March 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 Maybe one day you will. Doubt it, I rode the cota bus for 10 years of my life. I just like the fact that I can get to work without tranfers. And that jeep is already in the works of replacing my wifes stratus. I love those things!
