I don't get CR, but the person in the cube across from me does. He said
the Durango was rated as one of the worst "mass" SUVs based on fuel
mileage. Oddly enough, the rigged that category such that the Ford
Expedition (aka the repainted school bus) doesn't fit! If you get 10MPG
out of that thing, you're doing well.

Most of those ratings magazines and such also find some way to rate
Dodge trucks relatively low on crash safety a lot of the time. I think
we have a few members here who would disagree.
