Wow - my deepest sympathy Gary. I tried to get my mother to look at a
Durango... She said she did not like the "bull dog" front end look. She
bought a 2002 Ford Explorer 4 door instead. Its a good SUV, much beter
than the previous generation. (Adam is going to rip me a new one for
this next comment). I like it to a certain degree. The engine - while
more powerful than the previous V6 engine Ford used - is still anemic
for such a heavy SUV. It's her 4th Ford... She says its fine for what
she needs. (shrug)
