Sorry to hear that on the Durango...I loved my 2014 R/T...my current squad car...2016 Explorer version of the law enforcement vehicle is adequate...and has the room...but it rides like a car. My Durango R/T seemed to sit higher and was more comfortable overall.

The Durango R/T (even the V6 for that matter) is a superior vehicle in almost every way to the Explorer.

I'd be in a Durango SRT right now if it wasn't for the cost (70K) and the fact I needed more room (2nd person on long trip/vacations). I couldn't justify going from a R/T to an SRT (same size / more payment) and not getting more room/full size cab.

The Ram was 25K less...has more room and is a helluva vehicle for the price.

My wife had a couple Jeeps (compass and liberty) before we got married and they were both POS's so now she doesnt like mopar.

I love the SRT Durango. actually saw one in person about 2 weeks ago for the first time and it is really nice but yeah no way can i afford a 70k SUV right now. I will say i do like the Explorer alot and we just took it on a trip this weekend and enjoyed it. Also my best friend's younger brother is a salesman at the ford dealership where i bought 4 Fords from already so we got a great deal on it. so overall i am happy with the purchase but i do like the new durango alot

I dig the Durango SRT as well. One of my favorite Dodge/Chrysler vehicles (of the modern era) was the 300 SRT. Big comfy boat that handles good (for what it is) and hauls tail.
