He wont want to replace it, its an amazing unit!
Garmin maps, hard drive, and if towing, etc the camera is great.
All that said, since the sxt cant have the 730n, and hes looking for mpg, towing, and more than 5th gear. Go with a Crew!

IMO, Crew, 730N, V8 (will be a six speed trans).
Otherwise, he will be in a sxt with the V6, wanting a double din nav unit, then trying to add a rear camera... and while whining about the 5 speed, and lack of towing power. Just go Crew and be done.
Again, jmo...

Curious if others here have had both the Durango with Pentastar V6 and an older Dakota with the 4.7L V8? I ask because I have the 2001 Dakota, and when my friend drives it towing ATV's and whatnot he is satisfied with the power. So is the new V6 a step up or down (plus weight of the Durango)?

I'll let him know about the 730N, he would probably want it for the backseat screens. Just want to make sure it is easy to replace when it craps out (they ALL crap out). BTW are the maps lifetime updateable?
