We traded our 2011 4 runner for the D. Toyota was a great suv but nothing like the D. We say it's a good combination of the 03 Lexus IS300 sport design we had (almost the same color) and my 07 Trailblazer SS. I don't miss the gas mileage on the SS. Probably 14 MPG downhill with a good wind behind it.

Dodge Durango vs. Mazda CX-9.
Our 15' Durango replaces a very painful experience with a Mazda CX-9 (which included lemon laws and attorneys).
While the CX-9 had quite sporty ride, there were many draw backs compared to the DD. The only somewhat comparable part was the 3rd row, which was bigger than most other SUV/X-overs, but the 3rd row in the DD is much better IMHO. The CX-9 had a decent v6, but was pretty lacking in power (felt) compared to even a v6 based DD, and fuel economy was frankly bad at 16-17mpg.

Where the DD excels from the CX-9:
- Seats much more comfortable in the DD
- Audio system sounds better
- In the RT trim handles better, pretty even between non-RT and CX-9
- With V8, similar so far, and potentially better than the V6 based CX-9
- Hauls more, carries more, tows more
- Much roomier feel in the drivers seat
- The "tech" is more and works better

Thinking more about it, it's a better overall package mid-size SUV with a 3rd row than ANY other vehicle out there from all my test drives and research.

I do still have and love my 03' Silverado (ext, z71). The truck is tough as nails and used as the lumber/mulch hauler, camping truck, "neighbor needs to haul something" truck, etc.

In 2002 I got an Escape' Sport but I don't have a photo of it. Saturn Vue Redline I got new in 2005, then in 2008 I got my 2009 G8 GT, then in 2013 I got my RAM 1500, and bought the Silver G8 GXP and sold the G8 GT later that year. The G8 is my garage queen which I plan to keep. The RAM is going bye bye when I get my D which is hopefully VERY soon!
