[@TinHatRanch]

I️ wonder if Stellantis is going to put Mark in quotes on the brochures, “it’s so satisfying it’s like I’ve been constipated for a week, had a hot fudge sundae, and dropped the biggest stool of my life”. It’s a hell of an endorsement and definitely relatable to every prospective Durango Hellcat buyer.

[@enigmathecross]

Brochure reads........ "Durango hellcat, The perfect vehicle when you got some shit to haul"

[@Tential1]

These need to be on some type of brochures

I literally just returned from my throne to read this, as my sphincter resettles itself following recent events.

[@ultimatist]

Driving the Durango Hellcat is like: 1) Bullying a 5 year old. 2) Taking a dump after being constipated for a week. There’s nothing more to say really.

Imagine if 10 years ago someone said the Durango would be one of the quickest SUVs on the planet someday.. we would’ve laughed at them, just crazy

[@Matt-xs7qo]

As much as I have to knock about Dodge and their quality issues, they really have appealed to the simian portion of our brains and words cannot explain how much I appreciate them for that.

[@zedhead2864]

ONE of the quickest. NOT the quickest

[@marcusmcneal7453]

Man, the Durango is so underrated. I rented an R/T for a long road trip with lots of mixed driving. It’s so fucking good. Comfortable, nimble, quick, spacious, but not too big. Lots of good features. I downright hate most FCA products, but the Durango is a great SUV.

[@upshifter5316]

Actually when the 2000-ish Durango RT debuted, they in fact said just that. They were right then too. And by today’s standards, it was laughably slow, but probably matched this new one’s mpg. So the spirit of Durango has been pretty consistent I’d say!

I am a subscriber to this channel for several years and I saw all the videos since then. I can tell you, I have never seen Marc with such a huge smile while driving a car. That's way more telling than anything said in the video. I wish we would have more industry branches which would sell products to end customers that make them this happy by using them. Can you imagine that? Let us remember this episode and learn from it. There is nothing more convincing the buyer to make a purchase than his expectation of instant happiness from using the product.
