Heh....you know the Pilot IS a minivan? Shares chassis, etc with the Odyssey. That makes it one of the better handling SUVs, of course.

Buy an AWD mini van and put 33 inch mudders on it

Friend of mine had one , sold it due to the gas mileage

went test driving on Saterdae. Drove a few Durrangos. they were nice. that 3rd row seat is pretty nice thing to have and the v8 engine makes for great towing capability. drove on ford explorer just becuase it was there. it was about then when i realized how much ford sucks balls. this thing was horrible. we bought a Durrango SLT+, leather, extras, extras, extras,. i gave her the keys now so i'll be lucky if i evar get to drive it again. thing is a big time gas hog though. that's why i drive an Altima and she drives the truck. she stays in town and i'll put on 100+ miles a day. Altima get betterer gas mileage compared to the 5.2 litre V8 engine.

yeah, i own another Dodge now. yay

That think got a Hemi?

QT? is that you?

my GFs boss just bought a 04 Durango with da hemi. nice ride, but i wouldn't pay $44,000 for one. if Dodge started putting a Cummings Diesel in the Durango then i would think about it

i was looking at the one with 96k on it only becuase she doesn't drive all that much. it's still alot of miles and i'd hate to have the thing crap out on me before i get done paying for it.

i'll prolly end up selling my Altima and gettering an 'el cheapo car and a motorcycle.

So lets get this straight...

You want to put you wife and kids in a used truck with almost 100k on it? It may be more hassle than the $$ of buying a more recent model or a different truck. The Toyota 4Runner is a damn fine vehicle and the prices are pretty reasonable as a new model. (I know what you are thinking the 4runner was very expensive, I heard that it has come down.)

Just my .02

What does the truck having a 100k on it have to do with it's safety. Its has Air bags and physics on it's side ??

Well I was thinking more of then the mechanical longevity of the vehicle itself.
It has nearly 100k, it is a Dodge, it is an SUV (which may or may not have been beaten to crap by previous owners) something will break, and it will be expensive to fix. (transmission, waterpump...)

I personally would not buy any vehicle with 100K on it.

Try to find something else, or at least give a better look at the 98.
