New Car For My Wife

Friends of mine have a Durango with the 3rd row and the driver loves it. It has the 3.6L V6. I have another friend that has the Durango RT with the 5.7 Hemi and she loves it. I wish I could have convinced my wife to get a Durango, but she didn't want a big payment, so that nixed that idea....

Funny you just posted this, we just picked up our 2nd Durango in a row this afternoon. Our lease just expired on our 2017 GT w/Pentastar. The wife liked it so much we just bought this time(I liked it too). Took advantage of 2018 purchase rebates and bought a SXT. Just the perfect 3rd row suv for our 3 kids.

Hey Guys,

Im looking to get my wife a new SUV. We have a few children so three rows is a must.

She is currently in a GMC Acadia. I want to put her in a MOPAR product. I think the durango is a great fit for her. I would like an AWD R/T with the captain 2nd row.

Question.. do any of you have experience with these models? Seems like it would be a fun SUV with the hemi in it. Hope you guys have some likes and dislikes to share with me.

Best,

Peter

Don't rule out the Grand Cherokee either.
My wife loves her Jeeps.

If you don't need to tow with the Durango I would strongly look at the 3.6 also. In sport mode it really surprises me when I do finally drive it. FWIW, when I took ours back to the dealer today, I was just bouncing through the screens and saw "trip B" at 4900 miles. Over that time ours averaged 18.7 mpg, which is all town running kids around and during the winter months. Plus we live on a hill so just to leave its a up and down just to get to the main road. You won't be let down with the Durango if the size fits your needs.
