You do realize that with the 2011's birth the D as we know it is officially pronounced dead. Gone is the Durango's status as a True Full Size SUV due to the elimination of the full box frame.
Goodbye Durango, we have loved you and will remember you fondly.
In case you didn't guess, I don't like the 2011 Station Wagon that Dodge is trying to pass off as a Durango.

I've had every generation of Durango. (trade up every couple years) I had a good look at the 2011's. Don't like them,,, here's why.
1'st and foremost, dodge went to a uni-body construction. Not as solid as previous GEN's. Low ground clearences for an SUV. The interior cubic feet is smaller. I'm a big guy, I sit in the seat and I feel really cramped.
It seems that they are going after the luxury market rather than the SUV market with this one. I feel I have to be wearing a suit to sit in it. Grant you, it's a very nice luxurious car, but seriuosly, for the average working family with pets??? This car's not for me. I think I'll be driving my 09 till it dies. Sorry for the downer, just my opinion.

My wife will not allow me to trade my 2007 (I had a 2003 before) in for the New Durango. If it ever comes out with the 6.1 or the almighty 6.4, the 2007 will be gone. It is smaller, but I am short so it will fit me better, but I agree that the unibody is 'weaker' than the box frame,
