Hello all,
I have been combing craigslist and other sites looking for a *very* budget friendly off road/camping vehicle.
There are a few I have seen and liked but I wanted the greater masses/more educated people’s opinions.
I have been intrigued by the Dodge Durango's price point and massively powerful motor.
How well do these hold up over the long run?
What kind of issues should I look for when purchasing a Durango?
There are a few with price points around $3000, and miles around 150k.
I would do a 2-3" body lift and probably a suspension lift at some time to fit 33-35" tires.
Towing a light weight (3000 – 3500 lbs) camp trailer or sail boat in the near future.
Is this a horrible mistake?
I have also been looking at:
Isuzu Trooper (second Gen)
Mitsubishi Montero (worried about the valve guides, most all have smoke that I have seen)
Dodge Ram
These seem to be in my price range, and capable vehicles.
Please advise.
Thanks!
