What was it meant to do? You could ask the same question for the $130k GLS63 AMG. A $70-80k GLS450 would fit most people’s need with all the belt and whistles, just like an R/T Durango would fit the most. To me, the Durango SRT makes as much sense as the GLS63 AMG.

You’re wrong, now go sit in the corner and wallow in your wrongness.

I actually use my Durango R/T to tow my race cars. It’s got plenty of power and makes a great tow vehicle. It also serves as an occasional family car and my winter DD.

It was meant to look cool and haul ass in a straight line. While looking cool and hauling ass it can also get your family and boat to your cottage. It’s excessive, sure, but so is pretty much any Escalade, QX80, etc. My complaint was that Andrew did not talk about the SUV-qualities of this SUV, instead comparing it to…

Yea, it always irritates me when auto journalists complain about a vehicle not doing something it was never designed to do.
