Here are five reasons why the 2019 Dodge Durango is the crossover you've been looking for. 1. Potent Engine Options Dodge offers three engine options with the 2019 Durango. Each one tackles daily driving with ease and pairs well with the standard eight-speed automatic transmission. The stock 3.6-liter V-6 delivers 295 horsepower, while the R/T trim touts a standard 360 horsepower, 5.7-liter V-8 that's also optional on the Citadel trim. more Move to the top of the lineup and get your Durango SRT equipped with a gigantic 6.4-liter V-8 that produces 475 horsepower and 470 pound-feet of torque. It's one of the most powerful engines in the crossover class. 2. Class-Leading Performance If you plan to tow, the Durango is for you. It boasts the capability of a larger SUV. When equipped with the V-8 engine, it can pull  8,700 pounds. The Durango gives rivals a run for their money with more best-in-class performance.

Tech-savvy shoppers will want to upgrade to the larger 8.4-inch touchscreen with the added convenience of navigation. Music lovers aren't left out either.

Versatile Interior If you need versatility in your new crossover's cabin, the Durango has got you covered. It comes in both two- and three-row configurations with optional second-row captain's chairs. It seats five, six or seven people, depending on which configuration you choose, with durable, cloth upholstery. You can also upgrade to luxurious leather upholstery, heated and power-adjustable seats, and a heated steering wheel. 4. Massive Cargo Hold The new model year Durango offers more cargo space than most three-row SUVs. You'll discover 17.2 cubic feet of space behind the third-row, or fold both rows down and reveal a cavernous 85.1 cubic feet of cargo space. The area is wide and deep enough for luggage, camping gear, or bulky furniture. There's even a fold-flat front passenger seat so you can tote long items. 5. Advanced Safety Features Each Durango is equipped with a standard rearview camera and plenty of available advanced safety features.

When you're looking for the perfect vehicle, the decision between a new or used car is a daunting task and typically a money issue. You may not want to spend an exorbitant amount of money on a vehicle when there are great used models that provide a much more affordable option. You may be experiencing worry, though, that you may have less life in a used vehicle and you may run the risk of spending the money saved on repairs. However, there is a best-of-both-worlds solution: a Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) vehicle. Here are four reasons to consider spending a little extra on a CPO model. Inspected by the Manufacturer What makes a CPO vehicle? The certification comes from a thorough multi-point inspection administered by the manufacturer, ensuring a vehicle that's in tip-top shape and won't spark problems the second you leave the lot. While inspections are mandatory and the vehicle must pass every point of the inspection to be certified, it's still a great idea to have the vehicle checked by a mechanic you trust.  Cars aren't cheap, and you want to be sure you're spending your money wisely. more A Lightly Used and Well-Maintained Vehicle Part of the inspection stipulations mandates low age, low mileage, and frequent maintenance. Most CPO vehicles are formerly leased vehicles, which means previous drivers most likely had to adhere to strict mileage usage and kept their cars in the best condition possible so they would not be charged extra. At most, expect around 70,000 miles on the vehicle, though most CPOs are only about 3 years old with fewer than 40,000 miles. Extended Warranty Most CPO models come with an extended warranty to give you even more peace of mind. The warranty you're guaranteed means the manufacturer covers the costs of any repairs you may need, and the manufacturer wants to ensure that you'll have no need to bring the vehicle back for repairs. Not every extended warranty is the same, though, so be sure to do your research into what your CPO vehicle's warranty will cover. Some extend the original warranty by more miles or time, while others have warranties that start after you purchase the vehicle. To make sure you're getting the most for your money, you'll want to have a warranty that's worth it. Financing Deals While CPO models may have higher costs than non-certified models, manufacturers, banks, and lenders often offer low-interest financing deals for these vehicles. This means CPO models are treated more like new cars than used ones. Uncertified vehicles often have higher interest rates that may significantly raise the total amount you're spending on the vehicle. And, as with any vehicle purchase, you still have the power of negotiation. Don't be afraid to haggle just because the vehicle you have your eye on is a Certified Pre-Owned model. Do yourself a favor and take some of the stress out of shopping for a used car. Considering a Certified Pre-Owned vehicle means considering a lightly used and well-maintained vehicle with a few extra perks that a non-certified vehicle can't offer. Along with your due diligence, the certification gives you the peace of mind you need to finally make the car of your dreams a reality. Image via Flickr by thematthewknot

From the moment it was first launched over two decades ago, Dodge Durango set high standards for a crossover SUV. Not only did it raise the bar when it came to all-around performance and sturdiness but also regarding all-terrain vehicle aesthetics. The Durango is indeed a very good-looking SUV, and its looks have been continuously improving with each new model and generation. more The 2018 Dodge Durango not only continues that tradition but brings it to new heights by introducing new trim levels and appearance packages. The available trims are SXT, GT, Citadel, R/T, and SRT. In addition to these trims, there are multiple appearance packages available to improve upon an already great vehicle. The Blacktop Package This appearance package is a simple and relatively inexpensive way to add a little style to your Dodge Durango. Available on the SXT Plus, GT, and R/T trims, the Blacktop Package adds gorgeous 20-inch gloss black wheels with matching mirrors and badges. Another available option is the awesome performance hood featuring an air induct and LED fog lamps that were previously only available on the SRT. The Brass Monkey Appearance Package Another appearance package available on the GT and R/T models is the Brass Monkey. The 20-inch brass monkey wheels and the gloss black grille will definitely make your Dodge Durango look special. Just like with the Blacktop package, Durango SRT's spectacular looking air induct is also available for the Brass Monkey appearance package. Anodized Platinum Appearance Package When conceiving appearance packages for the Durango models, Dodge didn't forget the Citadel trim drivers, so the Anodized Platinum package is only available for them. Stylish features such as the exterior badging and lower side sills, standard second-row captain's chairs, or the platinum chrome-plated interior accents add elegance to your Durango. Rallye Appearance Package On top of the Blacktop or Brass Monkey packages, Dodge also offers Durango GT buyers the chance to offer their car a race-inspired design with the new Rallye appearance package. The company realized many of its customers want a Durango that looks like the top SRT trim but are perfectly satisfied with GT's 295-horsepower V-6 engine. The result was an appearance package that offers the fascia, lights, and performance hood that were previously only available on the top trim, therefore offering GT drivers the best of both worlds. Rallye is available in seven different colors: DB Black, Granite, In-Violet, Octane Red, Granite, Redline Red, Vice White, and White Knuckle. Also, unlike other appearance packages, it doesn't limit any of the Durango's performance capabilities, so it will still be able to tow up to 6,200 pounds. There are many reasons why the Dodge Durango is one of the most successful SUVs on the market and has been for quite some time. Dodge, however, does not rest on its laurels, and the 2018 model has brought many additions to an already great car. The new appearance packages have definitely raised the bar when it comes to how an SUV should look. https://www.flickr.com/photos/76969036@N02/43061421765/sizes/l Image via Flickr by David Guo's Master
