An interesting read...

With my Durango, I was tempted to wait and get an 08 with the MDS Hemi and the hybrid thing, it has a HUGE battery pack that runsa at like 300V or something, 2 electric motors int he tranny for the hybrid mode and when braking the motors turned into generators or whatever and charge the big battery pack, supposidy in combination of the MDS and the hybrid it should be up to 40% more fuel efficient than a non-MDS Hemi, but it has a 2500lbs lower towing rating, and probably a lower in cab cargo hauling rating... if I wanted a 5000-6000lbs tow rating I'd buy a Nitro or even import a rhd diesel mini suv.
