My "New" Ride - 2018 Dodge Durango GT

I seriously considered the R/T with the 5.7 Hemi, but I was perfectly happy with everything I got out of this GT, including all of the interior features. And the price was just that much better than going with the R/T Hemi model. But it was hard to pass up on the Hemi. Thankfully this one is not meant for going anywhere in a hurry.
You're right that the 3.6 is probably plenty adequate. I know that's a good engine. The muscle head in me, gravitates to the hemis. But for a daily I'm sure the pentastar is great.
