Anyone driven the new Aspen

[socalmoney]

Looks like a nice SUV with a 8900 lb tow capacity. 5.7 HEMI rated at 345 HP. Funny thing is they say the 5.7 gets better MPG than there 4.7.

I owned a Durango 4x with the 4.7 for years. MPG was just the worst. In the 9's in town most the time. The hemi has to be better.

Its just a Durango with a fancy grill. I have a Hemi Durango 4x4 and it is a kick-ass tow rig for its size. Have pulled a 25 foot TT, 24 Ultra, and 25 Cobalt. Great truck.

Harley-- the photographer and writer for Truckin Mag was driving one around a few months ago for the test-- he had good things to say about it I actually think it looks nice and can't go wrong with the Hemi

I have a Durango Limited 4x4 with the Hemi and I haven't seen anything less than 17 mpg driving around town here. On the highway I can get upwards of 23-24 mpg. Now towing my Ultra 27 Shadow is a different story. The mpg goes down to ~10.5-11. Outnumbered is correct, it's a great tow rig!

Mine is the older Hemi and I get 16/18 mpg. The new ones are like the 4-6-8 GM motors I guess. I get about 10 mpg towing the boat. I just pulled our 25TT from Mead to the Grand Canyon to Flag (7,200 ele) and back to Phoenix. It pulled the I-40 to Flag at 70, pulled the Camp Verde grade at 60 and got 8.5 mpg. The motor likes to rev. You have to put your foot in it to take advantage of the power. If you drive it like a BB or diesel you will not see the power band.
