Re: New DD: Project DurRTay-D

Awesome ride. I am actually going to go look at one this weekend.

Only thing has me worried is there's been two reports of the motors locking up with under 20,000miles.

Dealership warranties it but still has me thinking about later on.

As I've personally havent seen the 2015 yet.Does it look like it will have enough room for a family of 6 and still be able to carry there stuff?

Happens with every model of every make, that's why warranties exist. You won't find any vehicle on the market with a 0% failure rate. Stay up on the maintenance and you have nothing to worry about. The good thing about these mass produced vehicles is the manufacturer is probably well aware of the problem before you ever experience it so they'll either release a recall for it, or have a TSB available to the dealerships on how to fix it.

It's 3 rows. The 3rd row is quite usable, more usable than a 2015 Tahoe's 3rd row in my opinion. Anyone under 6ft I'd go as far as saying they'd be rather comfortable back there. Ours is essentially a 6 passenger because we got the captains seats. 7 if you did bench instead. The captains are nice because you can walk between them to get to the 3rd row, that's why we got them. Hard to fold down seats to get to the back when there's child seat(s) strapped to them.

I drove a 15 Tahoe, 15 Expedition, and 15 Durango. Tahoe again I thought the 3rd row was just about useless. Expedition had the best seating room/setup, but even the 2015 looks like it was designed in 05 or something which was kinda an issue. Durango was cheaper than them, 3rd row was still decent, felt nicer to me (not so big), and came with some pretty nice options in most of them like heated seats/steering wheel and uConnect.
