    @@bassdaddy1730 I suppose that’s a fair point, and something I would encourage all owners here to consider. Treating this spec (tire compound + performance alignment + heavy weight) as more of a sports car maintenance vs typical 3 row family hauler in terms of service best practices. These are directional tires too, so not something you can DIY in your driveway. Certainly wasn’t something my local dealer ever recommended when I took it in for the yearly inspection and oil change either.

    Nice the missus has a 23 tow ans go AWD we got this past winter She loves it. I use my Truck to do most of the towing. Only issues weve had have been the same minor ones you have had car play etc. I did install a throttle control for her and it makes quite a difference, no bottem end throttle lag now. 5.8 0-60 on 87 octane She wants me to get a PCM and controller for her. Lol. She doesn't need it Talking with my son who's a Dodge tech to make sure nothing voice the warranty.

    Holy crap brother - 2 years!!!! I'm just glad you're back and all seems to be good! I solved the brake dust issue on my 2021 TnG with installing dimpled & slotted ceramic brakes for all 4 corners - very reasonable from Brake Performance. I picked up my 21 TnG for $53k - it's a lease but I'm going to buy it at lease end in 2 months. I'm installing a Whipple 3.0 and AFE shorty headers and I have some other bolt-ons I'll be at 600 HP at crank EASY. The stock SRT 392 is only 475 HP crank and the SRT would've cost me A LOT more than the total of my entire investment: $53k + $12K (Whipple & Headers). I'll have a lot more HP than a 392 and have spent a lot less. I love this Durango Tow n Go! Did you finish the addition on your house?

  • @therivierarecord2596
    @therivierarecord25965 ай бұрын

    Hey man. All is good here. Just life getting in the way with little ones and work. Writing this from my addition :) yes. One day I’ll post the full saga… good and bad. TnG with a whipple will be bonkers! Best of luck with it! Sitting here a few months removed from the Durango, honestly I still think we made the right decision for our current needs, but there are certainly things I miss about it. Dodge really punched above their weight class with this platform in terms of function, refinement and infotainment usability.

    I’m planning on getting a non run flat set next and those should last longer than 20,000 miles from what I’ve heard they’re good for 40-45000 and also I plan on changing these pads when they wear out to some power stops I hear those negate the dust a lot and help out a ton so that fixes your number 1 issue there. Find a local shop and have em install pads and tires together

    I have been looking for vehicle with good towing characteristics. That pushed me to a pickup in my price range. I would prefer an SUV. Seemed all worthy SUV’s with decent tow ratings are to expensive. New that is still true. I was convinced the the 2023 Colorado would work but not a family vehicle. Then I revisited the Durango. Now I am thinking a used Durango R/T. 2021 or 2022. Probably next spring or summer. It would be a poor mans dream vehicle with the Tow N’ Go. I could not find a single one used. That would be awesome. I have looked at the Durango’s in between my last and current vehicle. With the tow rating it is the top contender.

    When do they inspect your vehicle condition? Also, did they ask you to give away your car and keys before making the payment? What if they would pay you less than offered for some after inspection of the vehicle? Thanks for your video.

  • @therivierarecord2596
    @therivierarecord2596 Жыл бұрын

    They took a quick walk around before picking it up but I presume the main inspection is when it gets back to their lot in some form. Yes they pickup the car and keys before any payment is mailed. Having them short pay you is certainly a risk, but that’s why it’s best to be honest in your description of condition and have trust they will do the same on their end
