The figures, translated

It is powered by the 4.7L 8-cylinder, with rear-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. Rear-wheel drive gives balanced handling; in winter, the tires make the biggest difference.

It is rated at 15.7 L/100 km combined, so budget about 47 litres for 300 km. Driving 300 km costs roughly $73.02 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$4,450 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.

Is it right for your trip?

It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next. It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car.

Space and size

Being an SUV, it handles luggage, strollers and sports gear well.

A longer test drive

Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer. Drive the Durango on your commute before you commit to it. A week with the Durango answers more than any brochure.

Picking a year and a trim

Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires.

Money matters

Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $24.34 in fuel.

Rent it for a week before you buy
