Brand loyal or just like a good vehicle?

If you were closer I could help ya out with the Durango seats.... I have a set in the attic, fantastic except the driver seat bottom could use some replacement padding, and I could use the room. I'd like to find another Durango, current 01 has the 360 in it, but any I find around here like mine are on that. factory "lightening" program because of a winter salt diet. I'd like to find another 98-03 with a 318/360 and a solid rust free body. Being ours is in the shape it's in, is why it ain't leaving anytime soon
I've done replaced the whole suspension over the past 10 years and 90k miles we have put on it, and didn't mind doing so. Still daily driven at 305k and counting. Just put another 125 miles on it a few hours ago.

Ours is also a 5.9 2wd with 3.55 gears. We got it with 113,000 miles not running (bad PCM). We can't travel in it right now due to the tires being pretty worn from the front suspension issues, but soon. There's also just not much reason to drive it long distances unless we need to considering the fuel mileage difference between it and the Hyundai, plus the Hyundai is more comfortable. But, that's why the mileage isn't rising much these days.

I'm just going to go to a local upholstery shop to get a price on the seat bottoms and foam. Can't be too much compared to a new vehicle.

The other thing about ours is that when it was totaled we were paid for its value so we're basically driving it free except for operating costs.
