Save your money.
The new Durango information will be passed to the dealership in July.
The new Durango is larger and can hold real people in the rear back seats.
Also, a new engine for the R/T will be the 5.7 Hemi.

Subject: DML: Durango R/T
Brief intro:
I'm Mark Johnson (AKA MoparMaark), I was on this list a few years back
when I had a '92 Dak. I dropped off shortly after my son totaled it ;-(.
Well
now I'm back, and I am looking into buying a Durango. The new ones are
a bit out of my range so I am looking for a used 2000-2002 R/T with around
20k miles. My question for the list is...is the Durango R/T all hype (my
friend had
a Dak R/T and loved it!) or is it worth the effort to locate one. Would I
be just
as well off with a well equipped 5.9 Durango? The dealer is playing up the
4.7, claiming it's down 10 HP but has more torque down low. The numbers
show the 5.9 having a lot more torque. What's the real world difference,
seems
to me if the 4.7 was so hot, they'd use it in the R/T?
FYI, I need the Durango for a trip we are planning this August to Alaska,
from
Pasadena Maryland and back! Any complaints about long distance traveling
in a Durango?
Thanks!
