      Agreed! Depending on your driving, you will get similar MPGs. If you are driving city, V6 will help a lot. If you are driving highway, honestly they get similar due to MDS. They both have their share of problems. Both platforms have about equal amount of problems, but different for each. Love them both! I could not afford an R/T yet so I got a GT Plus. I have done a cold air intake (mainly for sound) and a 80mm HEMI throttle body and it is noticeably faster now! I will have to get a 0-60, but it definitely pulls at 3500 rpm more!

I think after so many years Dodge just has the Calibrations down perfect. The Car Drives and Feels very Tuned.. The Gas Mileage for the pop you get is awesome as well. Everything is so smooth and quiet at 18,000 Miles i am very happy so far.

The fact of the matter is that unless you go with the 392 for performance the 3.6 is a great 90% solution. It has good towing, decent mileage, and good power.

    We're picking up a 22 R/T BT TnG tomorrow morning for my wife. One of my best friends was a service manager for a local Dodge and has changed flags amidst the current sales slump and Stellantis issues mid-'24. His repeated and firm guidance to us was specifically NOT to get the v6 due to it having many service issues including overheating, etc. We were not seeking the BT TnG upgrade but lucked into a lower miles car with more options for same price as a Carmax R/T with 3x the miles and not a clean panel to be seen. We'll report back in 100k when we replace the valvetrain and muscle on for another 100k!

    Love my BlackTop 2015 Durango Rallye Mod but before my Warranty expired I had engine repair after hearing engine tapping sounding like Lifters, ended up being Failed Roller Rocker Arms and Damaged Camshaft. AutoNation owned it and repaired it in less than a week but Buyer Beware! Make sure to have your vehicle checked out and repaired if you hear any engine noise before your Warranty expire. This issue is very common with the V6 but the V6 is a Beast after Mod.

I’m probably going to take it back to the dealer to have the tow package thrown on as well. I didn’t think she really needed it but now I’m thinking it wouldn’t hurt to have it on either. I’m also thinking on the raised second row center console while I’m at it with the tow package. But this is still a really nice highway cruiser.

    Good Vedeo! I had a 2014 Charger SE with the Pentastar and it had no problem getting up and going. I traded up to a 2019 Ram 1500 BigHorn with the 5.7 and absolutely love the sound, the grumble, and torque. But I don't feel that my ram absolutely blows away my charger even though the Ram has that V8... the gas is horrendous, the annual tags are $600, the insurance is rediculous and I'm actually going to trade it for either an SXT or GT Durango and still feel good at the end of the day.

      In Florida you don’t need AWD. Most vehicles at dealers in Florida don’t have AWD or 4x4. Let’s say a dealer has 15 durangos probably only about 3 are equipped with AWD. Since it not needed it’s an option for buyers to save a few thousand dollars and maybe opt for a higher trim instead.

    I have a 2020 Durango GT AWD, Tow-N-Go package, in Reactor blue. I wanted one of the 3 lighter colors. For dealing with sun induced heat. The Reactor Blue gets plenty of compliments though. On bumpy mountain highways like CA-17 between San Jose, CA and Santa Cruz. The Durango with the Tow-N-Go package, drives much better than a Challenger or Charger.
    The 2021 dash is so nice an upgrade. I am tempted to trade the 2020 in for a 2021. But I manage my money better than that.
    The Tow-N-Go package has a good balance between performance and economy. I get about 22mpg at 80mph, 26mpg at 70mph, and 31mpg at 60mph.
    In many states, the Durango is classified as a truck.
    We have a 2016 Ram 1500 Quadcab 4wd and a 2018 Ram 2500 Crewcab 4wd. The Durango is very useful for going to places that have parking garages. Since the Rams do have a height clearance issue in many parking garages. The Hellcat SRT does have a nice acceleration factor. But our Ram 2500 is an absolute brute for power. With the 6.7L Cummins.

I don't like the weight of the durango, but from experience, I'll have more fun with the durango because I'll have more friends willing to hope in to go somewhere. Yeah, here in canada, I have noticed that whenever we commute together, we always take the car of friends with the biggest car even if we would be perfeclty fine in the smaller one and save on fuel. It doesn't matter. What is even crazier is that this rule is automatic. There isn't even a discussion or a debate, people naturally agree on the biggest car without saying a word. This apply even when they never met before. It is a silent rule here. Hence, why I'm considering the durango. Nice to haul friend and kids.

The captain chairs are nice, but mine has the upgraded center console so my kids have a harder time getting to the back.
    Also, the I don't have the upgraded leather seats, I would of traded the 2nd row console for those. We also don't have the blacktop or trailer hitch options, and instead have a moonroof (which was around $1000). The blacktop package looks great with that color scheme, but I already have a black car with black interior, and I kind of like the contrasting chrome wheels.
