I love the Durangos. It's been on the market for what? 10 years now? There's not much like it. I actually love most Dodge products, but can't stand to own one.
I remember looking at Charger SRT8 back in the day. Those things were cheap. 50k for a V8 whereas the Fiat 500 sitting a few cars away was asking for 20k.

I like them too... altho whenever I see them in Calgary they're constantly doing pulls on Crowchild with exhaust blathering away and generally being douchebags
Good to know a few lowside67's are amongst their ownership group lol

Good to know a few lowside67's are amongst their ownership group lol | Mine has a loud exhaust that my neighbors have jokingly complained about, true story. But it's factory... I actually kind of love how dumb it is.

Is the Durango platform shared across the Stellantis world i.e. Alfa Romeo etc, or is it unique to Dodge?

If you let a Dodge enthusiast hear us call it a E class they'll foam at the mouth. Something about really only the rear suspension was similar and the frame was not interchangable blah blah blah

-Mark | V8 Durangos seem like silly fun. Every time I see a V8 one I imagine some dad decided this was his gateway to still feel alive versus having to drive a Highlander or Pilot. I imagine the percentage of women who drive a V8 one is somewhere between 0 and 1%.

I've been loosely considering upgrading to an SRT 6.4 version to truly solidify my place as a dinosaur oil burning dumbass supporting Stellantis. It is hard to not feel like an idiot paying $90k+ for a Dodge though. But then I look at other options and they all kind of feel lame. I wanted a Defender for the longest time and I took a short test drive and couldn't get excited at all about it.

-Mark | The only other way is probably a X7 M50 or M60 or a GLS and you are looking well north of 100k.
Escalades and Navis are cool as well. But none of those options are really similar to the Durango.

-Mark | I was going to suggest you skip right to the Hellcat but then I looked up the price. $170k!!!

This vehicle makes me feel deader inside than I could've imagined 
It's even burgundy (the color of misery), and hybrid.

But for towing it is objectively worse, it doesn't sound as nice, and I just cant see the value for the extra money. I think the SRT 6.4 would be most of the things I love about my current one but not too much worse.

if you wanna go super stupid, try grand wagoneer. I haven't seen a single one anywhere.
Looks pretty posh inside, but I don't know a single thing about it other than its like 160k.

^ my coworker had one as a rental and it wouldn't stop beeping for no reason. A 10 minute drive and it beeped 3 times, zero messages on the dash telling you why.

Last gen GC second row seat is really uncomfortable, exhaust is quieter, otherwise it’s the same car.
New gen only got the HEMI in the L for a couple years.

Wagoneer has the best engine but drives most boaty; also has bad driver assist.
Also crazy problematic and terrible quality compared to Durango/Grand Cherokee.

Autotrader claims this Audi RS6 Avant is 18k overpriced. If you can get one of these for under 100K this would make a killer road trip car. https://www.autotrader.ca/a/audi/rs%...12_12&sprx=100
