Like the other Wayne above, I very happy with my D after 4 months and 5k miles. I was driving Mercedes MLs for years and wanted something a little bigger that could tow our Airstream. The only other choice for me was a Mercedes GL and the price did it. Because it is built on the same platform as the Mercedes, I felt very comfortable with the D right off the bat.

I didn't know about the transmission issue and the introduction of the new 8 speed next year. I was thinking of trading in now only because my Explorer will drop in value and the price of a MY14 will be more than a MY13.
That with the 8.4 NAV, I know I would be annoyed in 6 months with the refresh.
I think I am going to wait. Thanks for all the input.

Hi, I just found this forum last week and I was lurking around reading the posts. I signed up because a I had a question about the possibility of buying a 2013 Durango.
I've had a little history with Dodge products in the past. I started with a 2005 300c then traded that in for 2007 300c SRT-8. The SRT was the most amazing car I have ever owned. I had to turn around and sell the car due to a purchasing a house and needed a car that I could use year round. The SRT was terrible in even a dusting of snow. I miss that car all the time.
I currently drive a 2011 Ford Explorer XLT and it's not the best SUV/CAR I've driven. Microsoft SYNC has been buggy since day 1, the v6 is too weak, A-pillar rattle, just a mess.
I am looking at a 2013 Durango R/T for about 38k. I am hesitant for a few reasons. From what I have read 14MY the interior is getting a redesign including a new radio, and have seen that Dodge is discontinuing the Durango after 2016?
I'm trying to see what other people really think about their Durango's

As for Discontinuing it after 2016, just look at the past, they always say/do that and then bring it back 1-2 years later, haha.
