I've been looking for a new vehicle for months. As ability to tow at least 7000 LB was one of my requirements as well as All or 4-wheel drive, I started looking at trucks. As I've mainly been sold on Fords, I researched and drove the F150. As I was progressing to go ahead and order one, I just wandered into a local Chrysler-Jeep dealer. I test drove a Ram 1500 (with and without the air-ride suspension), and found the ride to be better in those than the Ford. Build quality and features seemed quite good also. The Hemi is what I would option for, but it is short on fuel mileage, as it would be used for commuting more than towing. Then, there's the issue of parking at work. I found out that there was a limit on length for vehicles for the garage at work, I started looking at other options. The Chevy Avalanche was a bit shorter, had an excellent ride and is well equipped with the final year's special edition. But, the choices are what's left on the lot and the 5.3 V8 didn't seem to have the power that the Hemi had - and it was also short on mileage. <br /> Next on the list to fit the garage at work and still have tow capabilities was the Dodge Durango. We drove a used 2011 Citadel, and returned to drive a new one later. It isn't the truck I was initially searching for, but still allows me to carry at least 4 people total and tow. The biggest thing stopping me was again the mileage when equipped with the preferred Hemi. While at the dealer, I also looked at the Grand Cherokee. It's a little more money and doesn't have as much volume inside, but I got wind of a new engine for 2014 - 3.0 EcoDiesel which gives it 21/29 mpg in 4-wheel drive option. <br /> This takes me back to the Durango. As I prefer the Durango (likely in Citadel trim) over the Grand Cherokee, I've also found out that the EcoDiesel will only be offered in the Ram 1500 and Grand Cherokees. Is there a possibility of having the EcoDiesel offered in the Durango for the 2014 model year still or should I keep searching for other options elsewhere?<br /> <br /> I would like to test-drive an EcoDiesel, but would likely be ordering a Durango Citadel with EcoDiesel tomorrow if it was available!<br /> <br /> Regards,<br /> <br /> Wanna EcoDiesel Durango
