What am I missing? Dodge’s site lists all versions of the 2017 Durango as have in AWD or RWD... not selectable.

True, but AWD is superior to 4WD on pavement, dirt, ice, snow and rain. 4wD is really only superior in mud and rock.

Here’s how seat usage breaks down:

Sienna comes in AWD and would be far more comfortable for 8 adults.

You should really look into an Odyssey.

Smaller than a RAV4 and car and driver recommends people 6 feet tall avoid the Durango in your link.

Neither Sweden or Canada are socialist. In both countries, the lion share of GDP is generated through privately owned business and industry within a free market capitalist system.

Canada is far from socialist. In fact, they are arguably more free market than the US. They have one major socialized industry and about 10,000 free market driven ones.

No. That’s socialism. Communism is where the income generated through government owned industry is evenly distributed to all people, not just the employees of said industries.

All three of those countries have a capitalist economic systems. The government does not run the major industry. Just because they have social program, it doesn’t make them socialist. Sweden is particularly capitalist.

North Korea has a good sized navy. Over 50 submarines, many of which are advanced by today’s standards. They have destroyers and other warships as well.

South Korea is a Christian dominant nation in case you skipped East Asian geography.

That’s all any third row in an SUV is used for. People who seriously need a vehicle to seat 8 get a van.

Durango is larger than the Tahoe in wheel base and exterior dimensions. However, it has the smallest front seat in class. It’s cockpit is smaller than the RAV4, Highlander, and Ford Escape. Even sub compact SUVs offer more driver space. It’s not competitive with th CUV class or the sub compacts in terms of driver leg…

The embassy doesn’t provide much of a service. They don’t exist to support expats, that’s a byproduct of thier existence. The embassy would be there whether there was a single US citizen in country or not. What benefits does the expat retain? They aren’t prot cited by US law, they aren’t protected by the US military,…

But that’s only on people who lived overseas for less than 24 months. Once you cross 2 years, you stop filing US tax altogether. So a US citizen making the Canadian median income of $52,000 a year and already paying 32% in Canadian taxes has about $35k in disposable income. How much of that do you want to take for the…

You’re insane. You want US citizens living abroad to pay both the host nation tax and the US taxes. A roughly 80% tax on income. Genius.

But most don’t do these things. Most have never been to the embassy in their resident country and most do not fall under the direct protection of the US Armed Forces (except in the abstract, US global police concept).

No, I’m not a dog or child.

I think GM clearly got their market research right. Sales are an indication of appeal which is why they matter. They tell you whether things like leg room or reliability are an issue.
