Greetings from Oregon, everyone. I just joined the site because I plan to order a 2015 Durango in a week or so (whenever someone can tell me what has changed for 2015). My wife wants a 3 row SUV and Durango is the clear choice. She currently drives a 2003 Civic, which is small and feels ancient due to absence of tech features. I test drove everything else except for Pilot (it's not competitive in the class) just to be sure. Durango R/T just has a more solid, balanced, and good feeling compared to the rest. We even test drove an X5 since the last car we bought was a new 335i. I know most people don't cross shop X5 with Durango, but the Durango R/T felt truly special, while the X5 didn't. We also went to the Portland International Car show and sat in the 3rd row of every SUV that had one and Durango felt the best. This also makes me happy as I come from a Mopar loving family.
I found this forum looking for options to tune the ECU and otherwise enhance the performance of Durango. I know that the R/T is probably faster than its competition, but it will feel slow compared to the other car and if there's some room to increase power, I'll do it. I will also want some aftermarket wheels since I am a firm believer in separate sets of winter and summer tires. BMW forums have been extremely helpful and a great place to read about cars during down time, so I expect the same here.
If anyone has any tips on ordering, let me know. I snatched my 335i up after it was built when it was on the way to the states, so this is the first time I've ordered a car. They don't have any Durangos the way we want anywhere near us and if I'm going to spend $40-50k on a car again, I want it to be exactly as I want, again.
Since I don't have a picture of my Durango, I will have to post a picture of my current car. I will post a Durango picture as soon as I have one, but I do love this car and will be driving it for some time. Hopefully, you all as car enthusiasts will still appreciate, if not, let the hating begin!
