Potential buyers of SUVs with 3rd row seating often have great
interest in knowing more about the vehicles’ tow ratings. That is to
say, in other words, that the potential buyers of such vehicles show
keenness in interrogating the SUVs’ ability to tow trailers (and other
types of carriages). The objective is specifically in understanding
whether the vehicles are capable of towing, and if so, how much they
can tow. As we come to learn, majority of SUVs with 3rd row seating do
have some capacity to tow. But some seem to be capable of towing
bigger loads – much bigger loads – than others.
One of the SUVs with 3rd row seating and great tow ratings happens to
be the 2012 Dodge Durango. This is a SUV capable of towing some 6,200
pounds. To put the figure into perspective, you have to remember that
the market has SUVs with 3rd row seating that are only capable of
towing 1,500 pounds at their best. So the fact that the 2012 Dodge
Durango is able to tow the said 6,200 pounds is remarkable by all
accounts.
Other things that may be attractive to potential buyers about the 2012
Dodge Durango include:
Its good fuel consumption patterns: the 2012 Dodge Durango is capable,
when in top form, to push a rather amazing 15 miles per gallon (city)
and 23 miles per gallon (highway). This means that, in the long run,
the 2012 Dodge Durango is likely to be easy to maintain, even if its
fuel consumption efficiency drops in a marginal way as its ages.
Its powerful engine: the makers of the 2012 Dodge Durango seems to
have struck a compromise between designing a car with good fuel
consumption patterns and a powerful engine. We know that most vehicles
with powerful engines tend to use fuel in an inefficient manner. We
also know that most vehicles that consume fuel in an efficient manner
tend to have less powerful engines. But the 2012 Dodge Durango, with a
3.6 liter V6 engine capable of giving out 290 horse power units when
cruising at 6,400 rpm combines amazing engine power (as noted) with
great fuel economy.
Its entertainment features: when you buy a 2012 Dodge Durango, you get
a premium radio (which also includes a Gramin navigation system). You
also get a DVD system, and an entertainment system that serves the
rear seat.
Its safety features: when you buy a 2012 Dodge Durango, you get some 6
airbags. You also get a set of active head restraints. This vehicle is
also equipped electronic stability control and pretty much every
standard safety feature you’d demand in a modern car.
