Selling any used vehicle would be easy if they were all in as-new condition. But they’re not as-new, because they are, well, used. The problem is compounded when the vehicle is 25 years old. A lot of things can happen in the world over 25 years and a lot can happen to a vehicle in…

Dodge’s three-row SUV is in the autumn of its days now but is still kicking ass. In its segment it’s a unique vehicle due to its longitudinally orientated engine, giving it a rear-wheel-drive feel, and a unibody-ish chassis.
