I loved it. Badass ride. It tows around 9000 lbs. more than a suburban or a Tahoe, runs in the 12s in 1/4, 4.4 0-60 time and has launch control. It also cost the same or less than a equivalent optioned Tahoe.

I’m really considering one. I would most likely keep my truck (for a while anyway) Incase I missed a truck.

A buddy of mine has the Jeep Cherokee SRT. I've gotten to drive it couple times and they're definitely a hoot! :)

My neighbor just bought a Ram truck a couple of weeks ago. I haven't talked to him, it's been to cold to be standing outside having a conversation, but it looks like a new 1500. :dunno:

It’s a blast to drive. I’m sold for the most part. I really like it. It covers pretty much everything I’m looking for. If I pull the trigger I will keep my truck to have it when I need a bed.

You don't think there's enough room in the back of the Durango for those "in the dog house nights?" :lol:

If I lay the seats down it is. Lol

I’m really leaning towards doing it. TFL truck has a couple towing reviews with it and it’s pretty impressive.

I watch TFL Truck a lot, but I don't think I would base a buying decision on them. There are things I've seen them do in reviews that seems like "they should know better" (which slants their overall review for a vehicle). :dunno:

I'm not saying don't pay attention to 'em. But, I'd do more research on towing if that's going to be a big need for the vehicle. :thumbs:

Oh believe me I feel the same way. It’s just one of my ways of research. If I were buying solely a tow rig I would still love at a 2500hd. I haven’t had my car at the track in almost 3 years. The minivan would almost tow what I need. I just want something that is capable of making a trip to my parents with the entire family without having to take two cars (assuming I’m taking trailer), can pick all kids up from school without having to have someone up front or if my wife is with me, and I fun to drive with some technology. Nothing on GMs list fits all three of those.

I definitely understand that last part! :thumbs: :lol:
