    Dodge is junk, ugly , poor resale , maitainance intensive .....parts made in Mexico . I ve heard 100's of horror stories. Even frames breaking . I would never consider anything dodge , much less a Durango. Op needs a minivan or Highlander AWD ......highlander have super good resale value ...

    Factory ordering

    This was an interesting post I can relate to. I just ordered a 2016 4Runner Silver LE. It was an ordeal till I found the RIGHT dealer. I had my paperwork in my hand . I knew I was in the right .
