First Time Driver loves KJ

[Tyam]

Hello, A few months ago my 16 year old son would be learning how to drive now after two months of training he has come to the conclusion that the KJ is better than our other two vehicles

Vehicle #1. 2006 Chrysler Town and country
Vehicle #2 2007 Dodge Durango.

Here are some of the reasons why he loves the KJ....

#1 Tight steering... this makes it easier for him to control the car
#2 4WD... This is needed for NE Ohio winters
#3 It slows down after you release the Accelerator

I'm happy that he can now drive with confidence and that the KJ once again lives on.

Great!! My son will be driving the KJ soon....


Does the Durango have a Hemi???
I have a 05 Durango Hemi too....check out Dodgetalk, I'm Durango+KJ there.

Well considering the alternatives I would agree. A Minivan or a station wagon on steroids.

I am amazed at how tight that sucker turns. I have concluded that the most important feature of a vehicle is a tight turning radius.

I agree. I always liked that about my S-10 until I found the KJ. Until I got the KJ I always had a headache after road trips(thought it was traffic), but I drove an 1100 mile trip in 2 days and it was a non-event. That says something about ease of drive.

X2. The KJ is awesome in an urban setting, let alone when I'm turning around on a motorcycle trail on the side of a steep mountain.

Yea one more thing I forgot to mention about the KJ

Fold in mirrors... For those tight spaces or mailboxes


The Durango does not have a hemi but today I noticed the first spot of rust on it, not to happy about that

Where??? The tailgate is a common spot.

Or it could be rail rust, and that will come out easy enough....

The rust on the Durango is on the tailgate and is slightly to the left of the silver finish for the handle of the tailgate

My wife and I love our KJ. Very comfortable, enough space and the tight manoevering is a gift - especially in small English country lanes if you happen to have taken a wrong turning down a very small lane

Take it in....they should repaint it.

 

[Tyam]
