So we just traded in our '13 Impala for a new gov. vehicle.
We got a 2015 Dodge Durango Special Vehicle Package:
It's got a 290hp/260ft/lbs 3.6L V6 AWD with an 8-speed automatic transmission. As part of the special vehicle package it comes with heavy duty cooling, bigger alternator, no third row seating, rear load leveling suspension, bigger brakes and a few interior goodies.
The 8-speed does really good on highway roads but when you get it on back roads/mountain roads it starts to struggle/get confused. The AWD system works well on rutted out mountain roads and hasn't left me wishing for anything more. Power delivery is good. We've only put about 2300 miles on it but so far it is getting around 22mpg, which isn't all that much less than the Impala we traded in. Ride is smooth and handling is pretty secure feeling given the heavy weight of the car. I can't speak for the stock suspension, but the one on the SVP is really nice.
This Durango came with bluetooth UConnect, USB, CD player and SD card hookup. All of these work really well and are very intuitive.
