New Owner in Florida

[Buzzcut]

Hello!
Just switched to the blue oval after several Durangos. Really glad I moved on from the Hemis. Didn’t realize what I was missing out on until I drove the ST! Needless to say I brought home a black one from the showroom. Very happy so far-cheers to my fellow vets!

@Buzzcut :

Just curious, what do you see as the major differences between the ST and the Durangos? I thought it was funny that the California Highway Patrol has just selected the Durangos to be their "Sneak Up On You-Go Fast" cars reportedly because of the Hemi vs the 3.0L Ecoboost and being able to haul more (they don't really as these Durangos have rebirthed the ides of the 1982 Mustang Chase Cars).

Thanks all! Durangos are powerful for sure and def feel it once you’re moving. ST is much quicker off the line and both have the same rolling acceleration for passing. Dodge hasn’t upgraded the tech for several years which was also a huge selling point. ST also seems more comfortable to drive (seats, handling) Lastly, the dealer (from which I bought 4 RT Durangos) was ridiculous with numbers especially since most of the new ones have cloth interiors. Not worth the money for 2026. Took a chance and happy so far! South Fla here!
