Dodge Durango. 2006
The good:
Factory towing package.
Hemi Engine available (4.7 and 5.7) (Mine is a 5.7L [345hp beast])
Rated for 9900LBs towing on the automatic trans. Mine hardly knows my boat is back there.
Lots of upgrades available from bare to luxury.
Prices in the $4000-6000 range.
Gas mileage is 12-14 city and an honest 22 on the interstates @65 w/ cruise control
The bad:
Lousy rust proofing. Any place they use salt for winter is deadly to them in about 10 years. (They get lighter every time you drive them). My 2005 had holes all over it. I bought my new 2006 from a private seller in Az. a few months back. (Zero rust). First thing I did was have it undercoated. We'll see if it helps.

If God didn't have a purpose for us we wouldn't be here, so
Live simply, Love generously, Care deeply, Speak kindly.
(Leave the rest to God) 
Silence, in the face of evil, is itself evil. Not to speak is to speak, not to act is to act. God will not hold us guiltless.
