Durango 2021

Competent, reliable, comfortable. But 'competent' isn't what you want spending this much. Hard plastic panels in places, engine note unpleasant. Test-drive the competition before committing.

The negatives: the touchscreen regularly freezes requiring a reboot, the rear wiper smears in light rain, and lane-keeping assi…
