I like it - it looks just like the drawings that have been on the Internet for months, but it's good to see a real photo.

Caspar Milquetoast
When I read the autoblog report I noticed they used the word "milquetoast" - my father has used that expression for years but I've never seen the word in print.
As before, I like the new Durango/Magnum and think the styling is fine. I also like the trend where Dodge/Ram is making the cross-hair grill less prominent. Last edited by XDCX; 07-22-2010 at 01:46 PM. Reason: Correct typo - "used" not "user" |

I just wished it had true 3 row seating. We just lost yet another customer because we didn't have anything with 3 row seating + some room for luggage. Used to sell quite a few Durangos and Suburbans, but have nothing compatible to offer now.

It’s my understanding the new Durango is based on the Merc. GL platform which is 2” longer than our current Aspen/Durango (119.2” vs 121.1”). Not sure of your definition of “true 3 row seating”… but if the old Aspen/Durango met this 3-Row definition… the new Durango/Magnum should as well.

In case you didn’t know… the code guides for the new Durango are in Dealer Connect. Under standard equipment (pg 13) it indicates ALL models will have 3rd row seating.
