    I don’t get the dodge reliability jokes, I’ve had my 16 ram hemi for 4.5 years and it’s towed from Vegas to Dallas, Dallas to n. Carolina and back, Dallas to Little Rock and then OKC and back...and the only thing it’s been to dealership for was the exhaust manifold bolts and 2 recalls that were covered. 🤷🏽‍♂️

    Really the Durango is in its own class. Just like the Wrangler. Say why you want about FCA, but they’ve nailed product positioning.

    I think the Durango still looks great, even though this platform and basic design is like 10 years old now.

    Can you tell me why they “de-tune” the 5.7 from the 395/410 in the 1500 ram to 360/390 in the durango? And then offer the 6.2 and the 6.4 with way more power? Why not just leave the 5.7 at 395/410? If the durango can handle the hellcat......

    233F coolant and almost 300F oil temp. That's nuts. That's damned hot.

  • @oncypresspond6946

    Love the test, however your downhill test is not realistic. No one would drive downhill without manually downshifting to avoid using the brakes.

    Bought a fully loaded Durango RT in April for under $50k. It's been great and the HEMI sounds amazing!

    Ike Gauntlet runs are my favorite TFL videos. Keep up the great work!

    Did that exhaust sound amazing at the start or just me? Damn...

    You need to set the cruise control to 50 MPH, that way the tow/haul setting will hold the speed and downshift the transmission as needed without braking.

    Gotta love a Hemi! Thanks as always Andre, another thorough and entertaining review.

    I had a 2002 durango sxt with the 4.7. It was one of the best vehicles I’ve ever owned!! (Did not have the third row, which was fine because I never had that many people wanting a ride!!) loved it!! Love this durango too!!

    Great solo video Andre. That performance exhaust sounded great!

    For a midsized crossover it handled 700 lb tongue weight very well. With an oil cooler and clip on tow mirrors you'd have an impressive package for a midsized vehicle.

    I enjoy these videos the most. Gives good insight into these trucks' ability to pull a real load.
