I've been looking for a new car lately and i happen to like the Durango. I was looking at the 2016 model but then i ran into a 2017 model with a slight price difference so i'm asking which one? Is there a big difference between them and is it worth paying a little bit more for the 2017 model? Thanks in advance
 
@Nomad1 For a slight price bump, I'm in the 2017 Durango team. it's likely worth it over the 2016.

why? bcs the 2017 got an updated Uconnect system, which many find faster, easier to use, with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto becoming available on some trims.
it also has more features than the 2016
 
Techincally the 2017 offers more and is better, but the tech isn't everything. What's the mileage difference? How much more expensive is the 2017 model? Are both in good shape?

Yeah, 2017 has better specs. But honestly though I'm quite curious why @Nomad1 is just picking between 2016 and 2017? It's already 2025. If you're looking for a new car, a car almost a decade old isn't "new" don't you think?
 
That's a fair point, the 2017 model definitely has its upgrades, but honestly, both of them are getting a bit dated. If you're looking for something more recent, it might be a good idea to broaden your search beyond just those two years. What's your budget like, and what features are you prioritizing?
