Then the valet rolled forward in our freshly washed flame red Dodge Durango. Its big Ram grille and broad Freightliner fenders loomed out of the darkness and into the flood lights accompanied by the burbling V8. We had to smile at the soft "wows" and "ohs" from the upscale crowd as we tipped the attendant, climbed in and drove away.
With its big-rig look, the Durango always looks ready, whether it's heading down a primitive road or parked at the shopping center. Based on the Dodge Dakotapickup, the Durango is bigger than the Ford Explorer, but not as big as the Ford Expedition or Chevy Tahoe. So if you're like Goldilocks, then you might find the Durango just right.
