    I know they don't update their models that often, but I'm really digging the Mopar design language over the last decade or so.

    Agreed. Take the Durango. Both are kinda stupid vehicles, but they are meant to be outrageous fun. So take the one that does that best…the Durango!

    Probably worth mentioning the Durango is a midsize performance oriented SUV and the Escalade is a full size luxury oriented SUV. They don’t exactly compare to one another and I can’t imagine anyone cross shopping these them but it is a common matchup in reviews.
    Edit: also worth mention the reason for the manual shifting issues is the laggy tach. Once you realize the tach is waaaay behind it becomes a bit easier to manage the paddle shifting (I set the shift lights with the tach delay in mind).

    Also, I don’t see how the Cadillac justifies a 60k more price tag on it. I honestly don’t think the Cadillac is worth that much.

    I don’t own a Durango Hellcat but if I did I wouldn’t like someone calling it a family SUV. Most people that would buy a vehicle like this live up north. They would purchase a performance coupe but it’s not practical up north. So we buy performance SUVs.

    And uh, just which one has a higher tow rating for its size and class? Remember, or consider this, the Durango is a true cross-over. It's not on a truck platform and it's not an SUV. It is on a CAR chassis. So, which one gets the nod?

    • @S8ER
      @S8ER 5 місяців тому

      This is why I own one.. the handling is great (body of frame is not for me) and it’s still large enough to be functional as a daily driver.

    The Durango is such a beautiful car, currently I’m choosing between a Durango hellcat and a jeep trackhawk. But for trackhawk these days they run for about $70k - $120k with more then 30,000 miles and you could find a Durango for about $60k - $80k with less then 25,000 miles. It’s a very hard choice to make

    It wasn’t brought back for 22 actually and I think that’s the reason why it’s pretty pricey now. It used to start at 81k in 2021 and go up from there but now in 23 it start at 90 or 91k. I also heard for 24 it’s gonna start even higher 😂.

    I will take a Durango over an Escalade any day of the week. Why do people talk about fuel mileage when most people with I.Q. above a Goldfish or Democrat know this is not a deciding factor when choosing a vehicle with this kind of power.

    Wait your comparing a $152,295 Full Size Body on frame SUV to a $94,605 Mid Size unibody SUV? They are Totally different classes and the Escalade is $57k More it better be better. Hell even a fully loaded the Durango is still $40k Cheaper..... Sorry but they are 2 different 2 compare. I can swing a Durango if I skip vacations for the rest of my life but I can't even begin to afford an Escalade. Now on the other hand if I could afford a Escalade I would not even look at a Durango I would get an Escalade or if I don't need the 3rd row a Porsche Cayenne Turbo E-Hybrid. It cost about the same with way more HP. Compare apples to apples not apples to Oranges.
