durango's are an ok alternative to the dakota if you have to have an SUV. durango's are fun though and if you ever wanted to make one fast(they actually can be) lemme know.

on my jimmy being built on a wed. i don't follow? i do hear a lot that it lasting to 210k is really rare though.

not to hate on chevys, but i dont know too many people with chevy trucks that haven't had problems after 100k miles. before then, theyre usually ok

My stepdads 95 4x4 has 310k on it. But thats a rarity.

01' or 02' durango is all i'd touch personally. anything older/newer blows i just don't like the changes they made to the drivetrain in the 4x4's.

I do want a SUV mostly..

Simply because of these three reasons

Theyre Good in the winter / occasional offroading

Theyve got alot of room for subs in the back and SPL Open Cabin Advantage

Alot of room in the back for some other stuff too //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/naughty.gif.94359f346c0f1259df8038d60b41863e.gif//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

Ya I know //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

I would seriously look in to a Jeep. Not the grand cherokee if your worried about the ******. Look into something with a 5 spd. And get the 258 cu in straight six they are tough as nails. I know the cherokee sport came with a 5 spd. and I think the classics might have. You can pick these up used cheap too.

Edit: plus if you want to do a little more offroading they have all of the mods for it too. Lifts, ect.

Durango FTW!

Im glad you settled on something. Trannys are only a $1800 part on those but if you dont abuse it (never ever get it hot) you should do just fine.

Pics when you get it //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

Everything has ****** problems.. about 10K ago i spent 2G on a new ****** for my impala

I find it funny that every auto ****** you come across has "problems" but then if you get a manual you can sit there and whip doughnuts, do burnouts everyday and all you gotta replace is the clutch eventually.. things last forever
