My friend's son's new Durango gets 10 to 12 mpg and has all the good looks of a football with Down's Syndrome.
Lots of %#*# in the previous letter so let me say that I just took delivery of my third Durango, a 2007 with a greatly improved front end..like the Nitro. ..I usually put 35,000 miles a year on them and this is my second in the latest series. I order them fairly well loaded and always tow my car hauler so the tow package is required as are the skid plates for Colorado mountain roads. I find the 5.7 Hemi to be excellent and at 300 feet above sea level or lower can get over 20mpg on the high way. Around town 15-16 mpg. That isn't speculation but what I get.... NO body ever accused a Land Cruiser (aka Land Crusher) or the land barges from Nissan to be very well styled or particularly economical.
On durability, I just today did a brake job on my son's 2000 Dodge Stratus...2.4L and it has 165,000 miles and the engine is very quiet and does not burn any oil...He thinks he will get 300,000 miles before he replaces it..we gotta quite thinking only Japanese do that.
The Durango is an excellent SUV and the 2007 is the best yet. But that is from experience , not somebody's neighbors kid's girlfriend.
