Default cool news,

probably old news but i found this, and i was suprised durango's are pretty tough head collision with snow plow truck and durango did not look that bad, just front end, i would think whole frame would snap and door would fall out.

There's a reason these trucks are so heavy.

I wonder how much that brush guard on the front protected it.

Looks like the brush guard at least kept its shape... sorta.

The brush guards don't protect much. And that's impressive.

I'll sleep safe knowing I got a great truck until I swap it out for a newer jeep grand cherokee in the next couple years..

I'm thinking a Grand Cherokee too! I would likely only get an SRT8 Cherokee though and seeing as how I'm not such a big fan of the new body style I may look to find an '07 SRT8 if I can get one for the right price!

I wouldn't mind an SRT8 as well if I too find it for the right price. It'll just be a spare vehicle anyway. However I also started looking at the new Ram 1500 R/T's. I think that'd be fun to. I drive a 2012 ram crew cab and its a nice ride. But not sporty like the rt trim
