It somewhat renders the Durango useless, but that vehicle was also pretty old and needed updates.

Thanks for the post, didn't even know about this release.
Idk about the Durango being useless, It's as useless as the Tahoe/Yukon/Escalade trio. While the interior is nice, I'd have a hard time picking this over a Durango, especially one with a V8. Fantastic looking SUV compared to this.
At least these two look different enough to convince me they're for two different markets. The GM trio to me just asks how much money I want to spend for the same SUV.
Regardless, I hope this SUV is a success. Hyundai/Kia dealers need to be brought back down to reality to selling their 3 rows at MSRP, so bring on the pressure. |
Good point about the GM triplets. The Durango will still sell, but honestly, for a similar price and size, I can't see much reason to not go for the newer Jeep over the Durango which at this point is a 10-year old vehicle, especially since you can still get the V8 with Jeep, and FCA will definitely make a Trackhawk variant eventually (although maybe only for the 2-row GC) and bring out more models eventually such as the two-row variant and PHEV.
I have a feeling that Jeep dealers may mark this up. Jeep is the biggest cash cow that FCA has, and the demand is huge with sales of the Cherokee, Grand Cherokee and Wrangler being very strong.
