Rick, sounds like gas mileage wouldn't be too big of an issue for you ;)

Is gas mileage the only reason you don't want another Durango? I've got an 06 Durango and I love it (though gas mileage is somewhat of an issue for me since it's our only vehicle).

I run a 2000 dodge 4x4 with a 318 and std tranny. Pull a 27 trophy pro on a four wheel loadrite trailer. Sucks it right out of steep ramps and runs right along at highway speeds. Pulls my v20 like its not there.
Chrysler has had problems with auto transmissions but the 318 with a stick is bullent proof

Gas milage is not the issue. The Durango was great. I would have another Durango but I really don't need all the seats now and would rather have a pickup bed. Actually Stinky if you or your buddy want to send me one of those Dakotas I'm sure they fit in the driveway perfectly. Throw a bracket in the back and I'll deliver it to Hammer!

I like GM myself, but I'd stick to something that they've made millions of and are easy and cheap to get parts for such as GM 350, Ford 351, etc.
