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.

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
