durango all the way my uncle has owned like four since 98(he doesnt keep one car too long, nothing was wrong with them) of all different years and they are a blast to drive and can be made to look good to bring in business for you.

I like the cherokees' there are 3 in the family. Only problem with any of them is the window motors/regulators. other than that they are awesome. 00ish year/stlye is my favorite.

Durangos are really nice too, ive been in a few and had no complaints about it. Ive always liked Tahoes too.

They are all good vehicals

I'd imagine the Jeep to get better gas mileage...

I've got 108,000 miles on my 2003 4Runner. No problems, except brakes (I do alot of 90-65mph slowdowns )

Reliability is key if you plan on using it for business
