Default Any new 2015 owners and experience so far?

We are currently looking to purchase a replacement SUV and have narrowed it down to Durango versus Highlander. We currently own a 2000 Durango but my wife loves the Highlander (given the problems we have had with our old Durango). We plan on towing a pop-up camping trailer. We are looking primarily at a Limited model with tow package.

Our dealer has a few 2014 models, but will be getting some 2015 models in within the next week or so.

I've done some searching on this forum and have only seen a few posts regarding 2015 models.

I'm interested to hear from anyone who is a new owner of a 2015 model and what your experience has been so far. We are particularly interested to know if Dodge has, in the 2015 model, corrected any of the defects mentioned in this forum that are present in the 2014 model (e.g. CV boot, TIPM, etc.).

The TIPM and other issues are 2011-2013

2014 is the same as 2015

And mine has been basically problem free

my 14 R/T is doing great at 14K miles. I hope they put a hellcat and leather wrapped dash option in '16, I would trade my '14 for that

Hoping for a '16 Durango period?

Really had a few issues with our '11 Durango, mostly the TIPM issues. Replaced once then at the end of our ownership started to stall when driving. Also went through an abnormally high about of rear marker and brake bulbs. Replaced the marker bulbs probably 4 times each and brake bulbs 2 times each. Never touched them so far in my 2006 300. Made me suspect electronic gremlins.
