    My wife and I were contemplating an R/T back in 2020. None of our local dealers had any SRTs on the ground at the time. We held off for a few weeks until we got word an SRT had landed. As soon as my wife sat in the drivers seat of the SRT, she was hooked. 4yrs and 65,000 miles, she still smiles every time she gets in her SRT Durango.

      Absolutely. Tow n Go is basically the SRT but with a 5.7 instead of a 6.4. Great bang for the buck. I had one that got stolen last year. Black with red rally stripes and the same wheels as the SRT in this video. Beautiful combo.

    I don't have any brand loyalty, but I really think the Durango still looks good. I was looking to buy a new vehicle in November 2023, the Durango RT piqued my interest, but I was worried about reliability, but those Hemi engines sound like music to my ears!

      The Hemi engines are proven and are very reliable, both in 6.4 (392ci) and 5.7 (350ci) liter displacements. Plus, like you said, the sound of both engines is glorious!!

Took 3 trips to the dealership to get it fixed, have the maxcare warranty, so was staying with Autonation dealership.

      100% agree. And this is why the local dealer lot is still loaded with 2024 models. Unpopular opinion but this platform is shared among fleet vehicles like police cars and taxi cabs, and even when you pay much more for premium trim levels you still get cheap low-end feeling plastic interiors. These vehicles are all about the engines, which tends to attract a specific type of buyer IMO.

My experience in USA with 1.6l engine and i already have speeding ticket. I wonder why so many ppl buying powerfull cars. Thats ridiculous. I reach highest legal speed with my 1.6l car in a seconds and i am so boring. Not coz of acceleration but coz i can go faster. But i want. So you cant even use for 100% small 1.6l engine car in USA. Thats absolutely frustrating disgusting ridiculous. You definitely dont need 5.7l you will never use NEVER. Its most stupid thing you can do buy 5.7l in the slow country with terrible cops and low speed limits.
