Default Thinking about a Dodge Durango RT

Looking at a white RT ....Picture xenon headlights and fogs, big deep rims,fully tinted,with a new grill, exhaust , cai, tuner.....
I should mention although I did buy my gf a 300c all done out, I am not really a Dodge fan. Although an SRT truck I had for a week was pretty sweet.

Talk me outta it..

We test drove the new durango with the hemi before we bought my wife's Acura MDX. It actually drives very nice and the interior is definitely better than Dodge in the past. The RT sounds sweet too (
.

Downsides: horrid (!) gas mileage and supporting another bail out car company.

It's ugly as hell. Trashy looking. Almost ghetto or gimmicky; I feel like it's an SUV driven by a heroin dealer on The Wire. It's like a vehicle without a soul, trying to be something it can't be.

It just looks like a vehicle for, as the smug rich woman said on Titanic, "new money."

Limited, just repeat this 100 times. Hopefully you well get over this.


I sat in a new decked out Charger at the Auto Show last weekend. I told the Wife, "Now this is a nice car". She yanked me out, lay me down, and gave me an zanax. I feel much better now.

Be prepared to drop a brand new engine it right off the lot!

i know a guy that works for a jeep/dodge dealer. He told me every one of the new model RAMs and Caravans on their lot all had to have brand new engines thrown in them right out of the factory. That makes me think twice about ever buying a dodge, not that i would buy one in the first place.

Go with a mustang or Lightening if you want fast. Heck maybe even a Chevy product.

Also a great vehicle!

Your dodge will rust to the point where you cant even recognize it in 3 years. The Hemi is trash, thats why you buy a Triton
