The 2011 Dodge Durango (on sale now)

The 2011 Ford Explorer (available this 4th quarter 2011)

Both of them are SUVs, both of them are powered with V6 engines, but kayo na ang humusga. Which one if these American SUVs you think is your ideal choice? The 2011 Durango or the 2011 Explorer? You decide!

Ford Explorer for me. The best selling SUV in the US...

You know what the Dodge(Fiat), Ferrari, and Lamborghini have in common?
They all catch fire....

Those crazy italians

P.S. : This SUV is designed to handle North American Climate, not the Manila Inferno we have everyday....

I'll go with the Explorer

I'd go for the Explorer, since its more practical in the real world than the slightly thirstier Durango.
About the styling, the Durango looks like a facelift of a curvy 90's design.
I trust blue oval more than the ram.

If you plan to buy one, its better to test drive both when "test drive units" are made available.

Fiat owns 46% of Chrysler... so there's your fiery Ferrari connection.

Not anymore, the slimmed down Durango is now a large crossover and is a direct competitor of the now larger Explorer.
The Durango is just 2.7 inches longer than an Explorer, but is 3.1 inches narrower.

I'd suggest you get the Explorer, especially if the one you're talking about is the 2.0L Ecoboost variant. This will see great performance along with much improved fuel economy. Being direct injected and turbocharged should mean its also very easy to extract more power out of it.
