   See if you can still buy a Mopar extended warranty.  There are a few dealers on the internet that sell them at a discount so you do not have to pay full  retail at a local Jeep/Chrysler dealer.  They are much better than third party service contracts.  You go in for service with a Mopar plan and its in the computer and covered.  Go in with a third party and you or the dealer have to call the company to get authorization first and many companies find any excuse not to pay.  Or they stall giving you an answer so you get impatient and make the repairs and then try to get reimbursed.  Good luck doing that.  Be careful out there..

	Hey Richard, I looked up that Mopar warranty to see if I could get it for my 2004 Dakota with 143K miles and, what the heck!, they won't offer me one. It just isn't fair! 🤨 But I got around to calculating the mileage on our last trip. It wasn't too bad for a trip that required 2 3,000 foot climbs over two 7,500+ ft. mountain passes, with lots of intermediate climbs and descents. We got 12 mpg overall and made it back and forth on a single tank of gas. I think the "D" range tires likely added a couple tenths or so, but I could be wrong. We'll see when we drive down US 95 (not I-95) to AZ next month. [I suspect wind resistance is a much bigger factor in mileage than tire pressure.]

	Congrats, hope you like it as much as I do the 2016 Dodge Durango I bought a month or so ago. I will be looking to see how much mileage you get with your new rig. I have only had a short drive towing with the Durango but got 15 mpg at 60. I am leaving on a longer trip this Sunday and will report on my findings. I do not have a WD hitch or sway bars, don't thing they are necessary but will see after this trip.
