After researching and researching and researching, my wife and I have chosen the 2015 Dodge Durango and our new family vehicle. It fills all of our needs, the price is right, and a friend of ours own the dealership.
We were searching for a new 4Runner but they would not budge a dime on the price and we refuse to pay more than $40,000 for a vehicle. So one day my wife mentioned that she liked the Durango so two days ago we test drove one, and last night my friend drove it down from his dealership in Charleston so we could check out the specific one we wanted. Currently, they are finalizing every and we will pick it up this evening after work. The Durango in question is a 2015 SXT Plus AWD with the Ralleye Package in granite crystal mettalic. Sunroof, leather, NAV, you get the idea. Sticker is $42k and some change, after the discounts and rebates I think the total is around $36k and then we are trading in our 2012 KIA Sorento......so I'm not 100% on the final price. Link Durango -No pics of wife 
-No pics of Durango -Shitty thread but will update later today ETA: Sticker for: $42,415 After Rebates: $37,245 Trade-in: $17,500 APR: 1.99% Financing: $19,745 Durango

My buddy has a '14. He loves it, and pulls a pretty big boat with it as well. Enjoy.

When my buddy came by last night to give the car a once over, it was slightly dark and I swear the inside of the Durango is like a scene from the movie "Tron" what with all the blue lights! This one is a V6, couldn't find a V8 with the same features. We are suppose to pick it up this evening. |

Just bought a Honda Pilot EX for 29,055 out the door (taffeta white, damn thing glows in the dark-but was the last EX they had). Yeah, it's basically a people mover, pretentious van but doesn't make you look like a soccer mom style, never go off road (which I almost never do), but for sub 30,000-Honda, I'm happy. First new car in 18 years. Loved writing a check for it (finance guy "how does 1.99% interest sound?" "Not as good as no interest, here's my check.") Will drive it into the ground like I did the CRV and Avalon.

Just ordered a 2015 True Blue Pearlcoat R/T Durango. Added 2nd row captains and a tow package. Will see what rebates are available when it comes in, but total before TTL was ~$40, 037. The R/T had all of the stuff we wanted without having to add it in a package group (like the V8, remote start, power liftgate, etc).
Just wish the Blacktop rims were available for this color choice. I will have to see what the Rallye rims look like with the blue...may have them powder coated or look for a trade. |

Congrats, OP! Haters gonna hate.
We also bought a Durango this last October, a 2014 Limited AWD w/Premium Package (and V6). We absolutely love it! It's my wife's daily driver, but I try to steal it whenever I can. We're at 7500 miles so far. Like you, we also looked at the 4Runner. The 4Runner Limited would've been about the same price as this, but I didn't feel the value was there. The Durango is more comfortable, had more options, and I (6' tall) can actually fit in the 3rd row if I wanted to. Not even possible in the 4Runner. Additionally, we don't go off-roading so the 4WD would've been overkill. The AWD in this has been great through the winter snows. Enjoy it!!  |
