Bye Z71, Hello 2018 DURANGO R/T BRASS MONKEY AWD

[scott19677]

Well guys, after driving nothing but Silverados for over 20 years I just couldnt go on with the love/hate relationship I have had with my last three 2014's.

I was gonna' try and stick it out and buy a 2019 when they come out but fear it would be just more of the same. Such a shame because this was the first forum that I had ever joined and I really learned a lot and also got to help a lot guys and gals with help when I could. What a great comunity of people. I'm shure I will check back in later.

 

So...... for the good news. I traded the Z71 for a 2018 DURANGO R/T BRASS MONKEY AWD with the 5.7 Hemi V8. Cannot belive the crisp, snappy performance of this thing! No AWD burnouts yet. Gonna' break it in a little first. This is actually the first truck I've ever bought off the show room floor, it was only off the truck for a few days and was talk of the dealership along with a new Hellcat parked right next to it. I have to say, I am VERY impressed with the fit, finish, and performance.

Some of the features, three row Katskin leather with R/T logo, AWD, 10 speaker Beats sound, and about every other option other than a sun roof. I will try to post a few pics below. I do have to say that Chrystler/Dodge gave me over 5,000 bucks more for my trade in than any one else. Just sayin' in case anyone else wants to come to the Dark Side.lol

The 2018 R/T doesnt have the dial shifter.

That thing looks fast just sitting there. Looks like it ate a Charger lol

I have always liked the tail lights on the new Durango's, the LED's are pretty cool looking. Enjoy, nice looking rig!!!

Man, this little Monster is a BLAST to drive!!!

Until you go to stop. I think I need bigger brakes.lol

[Sean Neilan]

Wait, you were tired of your Trucks giving you issues so you bought a Dodge? ?

[scott19677]

Fool me once....twice....three....,I bought 7 new Silvy's in just the last 10 years alone. More before that and I absolutely loved every one except for the last three. Two buybacks out of the last three. I mean it hurt to throw away my Chevy cap at the dealership and put on a Mopar hat but the General just ain't cutting it at the moment. Funny how that new leather smell makes everything better.

Or turn.... I doubt it is much faster than your truck was though.

 

Those are pretty sweet for as old as they are. Going to need a bunch more power to do AWD burnouts though. See this more and more often, people switching to non-trucks; goes to show how many people on here probably have no need for a truck and would much enjoy driving something else instead. Always had a soft spot for sporty SUV's/CUV's, my neighbor has two (one black and one white as well as one of those 3 wheel polaris').

Enjoy your new car!

Just because you switched, I have to tell you I lined up against this pretty much exact truck a few months ago. Dude knew how to launch it, brake torqued the crap out of it.
