The Only difference from what I have found is Durango is up to 7 Pass. the Jeep is Only 5 other then that I am liking the feel of how the Jeep Handles they are Both on the same Chassie so we will see how it goes in the next few week's I am going to be doing alot of Driving .

I am curious about the Grand Cherokee with the Eco diesel. I drove the Overland model last week up and down Spooner grade. That's 50 from Carson City to Tahoe and a pretty good grade. The jeep impressed me, good power going up and cruise kept downhill speed within 2 mph. The handling was really surprising, it was equipped with air suspension. The truck in my sig is the best vehicle I have owned, but very impractical as a daily driver. I do tow 6000 lbs a few time a year but size alone makes the 3500 a pain as a daily driver. What I am curious about is any plans leak out about integrating a trailer brake controller. I will xfer my MaxBrake but convenient space is hard to find. Going to order the Summit and don't want to find out if I waited a few weeks this will happen. Other than that I was completely impressed by the Grand Cherokee.

We were all set to buy another durango to replace the 1 we lost until I drove the Jeep .Then it was back to scratching my head trying to get the best deal and in the Color we wanted .Well they found a Jeep in the True Blue and diesel so I told the Dealer give me your best shot or I will go back to the dealer we bought the durango from . well he Came in Cheaper and they are in town . better then having to drive over to Bakersfield so we went for it .To say we are Happy is a Under Statement .now we also don't have to worry about what fuel goes in what Vehicle all 3 we own are Diesel. so it's All Good .Now we just have to get past the Messed up knee from the accident and thing's will be semi back to Normal.
