I am in the market to get a new SUV I have been intrigued by the new Durango Heat, but I have always purchased Toyota SUVs in the past, and I am thinking is making a jump to the Durango the right move? I do like the Durango styling and interior. But how is the Pentstar engine and transmission as far as reliable? Should I just wait till the 2013 model when they introduce the new eight speed transmission? If anyone has a Heat AWD let me know how it has treated you so far.

Dodge engines are rock solid. The transmissions have always left a little to be desired. I have no first hand experience with the current Durango transmissions though, so I am only repeating what I've heard from others.
