Man... love the ride! I don't want to own another black vehicle but I sure love looking at other peoples black beauties! Those 2014s are awesome! Wish mine was a 2014 but couldn't afford all my options on a 2014. Wonder what the 2020 Durangos will look like because that will be the next time I buy another vehicle...

Won't look like anything. Dodge is getting rid of the Durango in 2016

Who knows if the Durango is gone in 2016 or not, but I doubt it will be around in 2020!

that makes the latest model timeless, like the last gen Hummers. Weird, I have 2 like that, Jag X-Type and Saturn Aura - both amazing cars, and I will never have the "old model"

Beautiful truck! I drove mine pretty normal during the "break in period" so for me that means ragging it when I wanted to and enjoying the amenities while stuck in traffic the rest of the time.

I did change my oil for the first time at 2,500 miles. The light didn't come on, I just wanted to get that break in oil out and get full synthetic in which I've run ever since.

In my experience, the truck was MUCH faster after about 12k miles (I base that on seat of the pants feel, no time sheets or anything)

They do perform better after about 5k
12K seems a bit long...
