My Generation 1 1998 Durango should be good, except for the gas mileage. Making up for that is PLENTY of power, room, 2WD, AWD, 4WD, high and 4WD low for getting into and out of remote areas or pulling stumps.
318 reliable engine. Slid plates, HUGE grill guard with WAAG for lights. Seats 8 but fold down the rear seat and get lots of room PLUS the roof rack.
Another plus... I can do burnouts at will.
I thought a pitfall of the huge grill guards is that if you do get into a crash they just get folded up into the radiator and rest of the truck.
Ha! When I started reading about the Durango, I looked to see who posted it. I KNEW it was you! lol!
And another plus: it shares that 318 V-8 with the old military Dodge M880 4x4 pickups, used until the Diesel CUCVEEs and Humvee came into use, then mostly sold off. But they still turn up in some DRMO auctions, and at reasonable prices [not a bigtime WWII collector's item, nor a Vietnam-era piece] from some surplus vehicle dealers. And they're 24-volt electrical, making for compatability with military and some aircraft radios.
