Those 5.4l's were garbage for power. I have friends that are ford guys and don't like them. The ecoboost is well, kind of a joke just like the 5.4. Even though all around are better still not up to the hype. My best friend bought a 2007 chevy 1500 classic 4dr lt3 5.3l z71 4spd auto with 3.73's in it last summer. Its a really nice truck and at the time he only had an exhaust on it. He raced an new ecoboost uphill. Up to 55mph the ecoboost had him by a truck length, by 90mph he had 2 truck lengths. On flat ground he won by 3 and were even at 55mph.

Fords towing v8 is a 6.2l very similar to GM's 6.2 just, how do I put this, a fail at vvt. Look at the dyno charts on hypertech programmers website. The thing looks like a heartbeat monitor. I'd take a gm 6.0 or ram 5.7 just from experience. The new 6.4l hemi truck motor drives with lots of low end compared to the 5.7 though.

$45000 is about $500/mo for 6 yrs, $6 grand a year. Between Oct '12 and Oct '13 I spent $5,500 on my '01 R/T, but now the 'payments' are done for a while. Even if the motor takes a crapper, it's still less than a year of more of new D payments.
It 100% boils down to if you still enjoy driving/owning the older Durango. If you see the Durango in your garage when you're there to maybe take out the garbage and your first reaction is a happy thought, keep it.

6yr = 72 months. $45,000 / 72 month = $625 a month. And that’s at 0%.. good luck with that. Very very few people qualify for 0%.
Heck, mine is at 1.9% and I think that equals a total of $1,200 in interest..
