My Dodge Durango has been my adventure vehicle for a few years now. It has tons of room for all the gear that could possible fit, plus a few of your friends. The 4 wheel drive helps get up to some of the more inaccessible mountain areas, and performs fairly well in the snow. The folding third row seating is great for a night downtown with your six favorite people, and the seats can be quickly and easily folded down for your six favorite dogs. The only real downside to my Durango is that it drinks nearly as much gas as a small military tank. I find myself filling up the car entirely too often, and i become deeply saddened as I watch the bill go up at the gas station. Overall, it is a very comfortable ride with tons of space for any kind of adventure.
