Sales for the Durango have gone up alot and they may climb even further with Chevy's release of 2015 Tahoe's and Suburbarns with pricetags well over $60K and going over $70K for Denali Models

The CAFE standards are changing in 2016 so I wouldn't be surprised if they skip a model year and move from a Dodge branded Durango to Jeep branded one and in the process loosely justify a premium in price to recoup the cost of development to meet the standard.

The article says 4,700 lbs for a V6, when did the DD loose so much weight? I have a '12, Hemi - it's 5,100+ lbs. The V8 can't weigh that much more.
