I have had all kinds of vehicles, Jags, and Mercedes, VW, Renault, Chevys, Mustangs, Fiat X1/9...nothing...NOTHING beats our 98 Durango. 2wd, 4wd, awd, solid as a rock 318 cu in engine. It can go anywhere in rain , snow, whatever.

It's coming up on 140k miles and going strong. Gas mileage is about the same as our Plymouth vans...at least on the highway. Around town 10 mpg, highway 22mpg. Not the best but I can haul or tow anything I need. Room for 7 and comfortable.

I can do most of the maintenance/repairs myself. Best of all it can cruise around nice and comfy but when I put my foot in it the tires smoke, you get pushed back in the seat and there is a HUGE smile on my face.

My ‘99 Durango has the 5.9 liter V8 (360 cu in). My economy isn’t a good as yours, but I’m able to tow quite a lot. The power is there when I need to move quickly. I think I already mentioned it is at 247,000+ miles.
