Why is this a Dodge and not a Ram or a Jeep(with Car DVD)? Even this RT Durango doesn't make a ton of sense in the niche muscle car Dodge lineup these days, and it may help explain why FCA only moved about 5,500 of them last month -- a month when Ford sold almost 25,000 of the similarly sized and priced Explorer. Stick a seven-slot grille on it and some round headlights, call it a Jeep Gladiator or something and watch sales triple. Jeep gets its three-row SUV, and Dodge gets … well Cheap JC Tretter Jersey , Dodge gets the Hellcat, and maybe that's enough.

In its current iteration, the Durango gets aggressive Ram 1500 styling, and I think that may be part of its mediocre sales numbers. It's a … burly design, more flannel shirt and Carhartt than the assertive three-piece suit look of the latest Tahoe; I'd like to see Dodge's malefemale sales ratio on these things. One note on the exterior: Our Durango tester had some of the worst factory paint I've ever seen with visible ripples in the side panels and rocker-panel grade orange peel on the driver's side door.

Seating is high and firm -- possibly too much so for some -- and everything feels well screwed together. After about three uses of the rotary shifter, you begin to wonder why this isn't the standard for everyone; it takes up very little space, it's nigh well impossible to knock it into the wrong gear and it's intuitive Cheap Kevin Zeitler Jersey , at least for those of us old enough to remember the traditional PRNDL arc on the steering column. There's good space in all three rows without too much of a climb upover for access, making it a very usable design for its size.

On the road, you'd be hard pressed to guess the vaunted Hemi lives under the hood. Installing an Android Car Stereo,you can enjoy everything on the road. With 5,300 pounds to haul around and horsepower and torque peaks both over 4,000 rpm, you've got to put your foot in the pedal to get any kind of exciting forward progress. That also helps explain the hideous 16 mpg combined fuel economy (I saw around 15 mpg in my mostly city driving) despite an eight-speed automatic transmission and cylinder deactivation tech. If it were my money Cheap Darren Fells Jersey , I'd skip the Hemi and go with the excellent Pentastar 3.6-liter V6; unless you do a lot of towing, you'll notice the extra 3 mpg more than you will the missing 65 hp.

Overall, this is a good-looking truck if you're into the 34-size semi thing, and it offers a ton of features for its roughly $45K sticker. I'm surprised Dodge isn't moving more of them in this SUV-crazed sales environment.

We always hear about communication being the key in a relationship. If we are always talking and not listening Cheap Desmond Harrison Jersey , then communication becomes meaningless.
It's not easy to hear what someone else is saying, especially when our feelings, thoughts and opinions are different. Here are three reasons why learning to listen benefits our relationships.
Shows Respect ? When having a discussion, listening to the other person shows that you respect what they are saying. Even if we disagree with what's being said, we still need to respect their thoughts and feelings. Helps Us To Understand ? It's difficult to understand what someone is trying to tell us if we aren't listening. Listening helps to understand why someone is feeling a certain way. Once we understand, we can move forward with the situation and take the steps needed. Helps To Be Approachable ? In relationships, it's important for someone to feel they can to talk to us about anything. Learning to listen can help others feel comfortable approaching us any time they need or want to discuss something. We are likely to have a more open and healthy relationship if we are approachable. We want others to respect Cheap Genard Avery Jersey , understand and be approachable to us right? Work on learning to listen and watch your relationship grow in positive ways
