gig-o-ram's mom has a contour... and i think the other one was one of the kids... although a forum search shows those threads must have been archived in some black hole somewhere...

It sucks on the gas mileage (10-12mpg) but is strong even compared to others in the same age range that I have driven.

Damnit, I have about the same truck only a '97 with 4 WD and the same 454 engine. Hey, you want a big block in a 3/4 ton you can expect 10 to 12 on the gallon but I love the "beast" as Kathy calles it. If it were 4 WD I actually would have been interested.

I used to be a big jeep guy.....before we had $3 gas.......Has an '88 CJ7, 92" Wrangler, 95' Wrangler, 98' Sahara, and a 2003' Rubicon......

If they weren't so bad on the gas, I'd have never given them up.....best vehicles and most fun ever. Dog loved them too.

It bugs me to no end that Consumer Reports endlessly bashes the Wranglers for being such a poor ride.

A couple guys I know get 21 on the highway and 17 local.My superduty was deisel and got the same ,but deisel is over $4/gal here....it was time to dump it and get what I have always wanted.....while I can afford it
The manufacture says 14/19 for local /highway. It depends on how you drive along with many other factors though. It has a 5***** frontal crash rating and a 3*** roll over,due to crash rating LOL.

Bueller? I wasn't being sarcastic....I'm actually curious to know.

I'll stick with my Prius and its 55 to 60MPG.

[screwballl]

nah we are happy with the Durango with 14-15mpg for the family... and the fact that I don't need to open the sunroof just to be able to sit in it like most other smaller vehicles.

I'm 6"1, and have no problems with the Prius........you guys should really check these things out....our monthly gas bill went from $320 to $65, and our insurance dropped $70 a month.

Dang, that sounds awesome. With the snow here I'd be afraid to have one for when winter comes. They tend to not clean the roads too well in PA.
