The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"The inside is intact. It could use a shampoo, but there are no tears or rips. The outside has updated headlights to all clear. It used to have the orange turn lights and headlights, but I didn't care for that and ordered all clear. There are a few dings on the rig. The very bottom of the right door got squished in a little. Everything works,but the front right door bottom has a dinger. A zinger... It is still a great rid. I have a Mercedes E20 that I love too, but this Dodge is tapped into my adrenaline valves directly. I love driving it....You will too. So, it has a few dings. You will be kicking up so much dust as you pass them on the highway and on the trails that all they will see is you with that big grin on your face...."

I bought this Durango last year and I didn't know what to expect.  I always liked the Durango's looks, but had never really driven one before. 

I was much more than impressed when I first felt the power in this engine.  I had to go online to see what the horse power was.  It states that the 4.7 has 235hp and I can tell you that you will feel every one of those ponies when you drive it.

There was a vibration in the steering wheel when braking, so I just stepped up and had the front brakes completely redone.  The steering vibration is now gone, but there is still a smaller vibration from the rear brakes, so it would probably be a good move to replace the rear brakes at some point.  I will replace the  rear pads and have the rotors turned on a lathe at NAPA for $150 extra if this is something you don't want to do.  90% of your braking power comes from the front brakes, so it will likely be fine to drive as it is for awhile since it has 0 miles on new front brakes. 

I replaced the throttle position sensor about 6 months ago because I decided to pressure wash the dust off the engine while it was running and apparently that is not the right thing to do anymore with all of the computerized engine components these days.  :)    It scared the (insert exclamation here) out of me.  Who would think that getting this one sensor wet could cause so much havoc.  It would stall or surge at random times and it would stay in 1st gear up to like 60 mph before changing.  I thought I really messed up and I am sure that had I taken it to an average shop, they would have got me coming and going, but I have a great shop up in Anacortes and they told me it was a $35 sensor that took 15 minutes to install.  They charged me for the part and $25 for labor.  It cleared up everything immediately and this thing really runs strong.  It shifts healthy and clean.  It has a bunch of miles showing, but you can't tell by driving.  The guy I bought it from said the engine was rebuilt a few times in its life and you can feel it.  There are no leaks and it does not burn oil.  The sides and bottom of the engine are very dry and clean.   It shows 265,999 miles, but it is a strong running, fun driving, powerful rig.   It handles very well.  The 4 wheel drive works extremely well. We only used it on a couple of occasions to test it and on ice its perfect, but I even backed it up an uneven steep hill to park it with for sale sign and at the top of the hill, one tire lifted 8" into the air.  Most 4x4s would be stuck there with that airborne tire spinning freely.  Not this one.  I lightly stepped on the accelerator and it smoothly continued up the hill on 3 tires without one slipping tire or even a raised engine speed.

Towing...  I have an F250 that is my towing beast.   Generally, it can tow anything I put behind it. I searched and searched for accurate information today online, but all of these search engines just want to sell you stuff and you can't just ask a question anymore.  From the best I could tell, the F250 weighs about 4300 pounds and according to all sources the 94 Pathfinder weighs 3900 pound (not true).  Well, my Pathfinder has oversized tires, 12" of lift, an ARB Australian Winch Bull Bumper, plus a Warn 9000 winch inside of that bumper.  That brings me up to 6600 lbs.  I have weighed it myself.   There is an additional issue this week, being that there is a complete new engine in the rear of the pathfinder so it has to weigh well over 7000lbs, being pulled by a 4300lb empty bed pickup.   I was towing it through the mountains on a curvy road and the rear truck (Pathfinder), kept pushing my F250 through every turn.  It was very stressful.  When I got it home, I had to back it through a narrow gate up a very steep driveway with an empty bed light weight pickup.  I tried several times and finally, I hooked up the Durango to it and I just drove it exactly where it needed to go in the yard with ease. 

The tires had decent tread on them.  The truck has nice alloy wheels all around.  Has factory tow package that was optional too.

BE SURE TO CHECK OUT NADA ON THEIR SITE. THIS RIG EXACTLY AS IT SITS SHOWS $3750 ROUGH AND $4859 AVERAGE BOOK...

I am not trying to get rich. I love this truck, but life is pushing and pulling on my wallet these days. I have to sell my baby, you will love it...

 

That's it.  No shipping.

2021 L.A. Auto Show roundup | All the reveals, reviews, pictures

Thu, Nov 18 2021

The L.A. Auto Show took place this week for the first time since the onset of the pandemic. It was a show packed with news and reveals, which hasn't really been the case with other shows we've seen this year, and Autoblog was on the floor covering every minute of it. Well, Riswick and Stocksdale were, anyway. The rest of us were sitting at home in our sweatpants, but hey, we'll take credit anyway. Let's get to it. Hyundai Seven Concept This is the Hyundai Seven Concept, and it’s meant to act as a preview for an incoming electric SUV for the Ioniq brand. It leans more toward the concept side of the spectrum than a production car, but expect the final SUV to take design cues from the Seven Concept. Kia Concept EV9 The Hyundai Seven counterpart isn't the only big, bold electric SUV at L.A. this year. Kia has its own take, and it's a modernized version of the traditional boxy utility vehicle called the Concept EV9. It also previews one of the next production electric cars for the brand, which should look right at home next to things like the Telluride. 2023 Kia Sportage HEV As promised, the 2023 Kia Sportage HEV has been revealed. The hybrid powertrain makes the compact SUV the most powerful version available, and it goes on sale next year. The engine is a turbocharged 1.6-liter four-cylinder paired with a 44-kW electric motor. Total output is 226 horsepower. The company didn't give a torque number, but it should basically be the same as the Sorento HEV that has the same basic powertrain: 258 pound-feet. Those numbers are a healthy step up from the 187 horsepower of the base 2.5-liter engine. 2022 Range Rover If you noticed how extra smooth and suave the new Range Rover looked during its recent reveal, Autoblog's James Riswick got a design tour that revealed some of the technological secrets to its success. "Less is more" is harder to achieve than it looks. Fisker Ocean Fisker has brought the new Ocean EV to the L.A. Auto Show, with a public preview at Manhattan Beach and a presence at the show itself. You can watch the public show reveal above, and see more shots from the show floor below. Fisker says the Ocean will start at $37,499 before incentives. That entry model would be the Sport trim with a single, 275-horsepower motor driving the front wheels and 250 miles of estimated range. It also has a 0-60 time of 6.9 seconds. 2023 Toyota bZ4X This is the 2023 Toyota bZ4X, due to hit U.S.

Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat gets 22 mpg

Thu, 18 Sep 2014

With its crazy 707 horsepower on tap and roughly $60,000 starting price, the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat has been one of the most talked about cars of the summer, maybe even the year. However, there's always been one lingering question about the behemoth that Dodge has waited to answer until now - its fuel economy. The EPA ratings for the muscle car are finally out, and the numbers are actually pretty impressive for a vehicle with this much power.
A 2015 Challenger Hellcat with the eight-speed automatic is rated at 22 miles per gallon highway, 13 mpg city and 16 mpg combined. Opting for the six-speed manual drops those figures to 21 mpg highway, 13 mpg city and 16 mpg combined.
"As the fastest muscle car ever, the Challenger Hellcat can run 10-second ETs [elapsed times] at the track, and then get 22 miles per gallon on the drive home. With a starting price of $59,995, there's nothing else that even comes close," said Dodge and SRT President Tim Kuniskis in the company's release.
