Dodge steers the 2007 Durangos look away from the Ram.

I recall last year a lot of got excited, **sarcasim** over the face-lifted and improved Ram 2500/ 3500 trucks. We made comments like the new looks is like a bigger Durango with a pickup box, or it looks like a Dakota. Well I found these pictures that show Diamler Chrysler has taken some of the resemblance to the Rams most recent facelift away from the Durango.

Now it looks exactly like the Jeep GC.

Now it looks exactly like the Jeep GC.

Good Lord! Bite your tounge man!



I have to disagree with that statement. I have never seen a Jeep GC and thought to myself "Grand-Chero-van". I do however look at the Durango's and think "Dura-van" or "Van-ango" :-laf :-laf

I have a part time business installing emergency lighting sirens, etc. for the local police and sheriff agencies and Lawrence County has bought several of the new Durangos and the K-9 officer was one of the first to get his setup. We put low profile led bars on the roof so it is very low on the roof and white until you turn on the lights so on the white roof it is very easy to not even realize it is a ptrol car.



Anyway, his first day of patrol with it, he is sitting at a stop light and the guy right in front of him guns it as the light turns green, rubber squealing, sliding it a little sideways. He is just like, "what the hell, right in front of me?!?!?!?!"

Said it took him a couple of seconds to even get his lights on because he couldn't believe this guy would do that. After he gets him stopped the driver is like "where the hell did you come from?" and the officer is explaining he was sitting right behind him at the light and the guy looks at him and says " I thought that was a minivan" :-laf



The topper is that the K-9 guys wife is a patrl officer for the city here and she just laughs telling the story and says now she wants to get him a "soccer mom" bumper sticker and stick it on the back when he isn't looking and see how long it stays there before he notices it.
