( http://www.TFLcar.com ) The 2013 Dodge Durango and Chevy Traverse are both three row family haulers that directly compete against each other in the market place. The Dodge Durango is a butch and brawny AWD Crossover based on a stretched Jeep Grand platform while the brand new Chevrolet Traverse is one of Chevy's best selling family haulers. Both of these vehicles can be had with all-wheel-drive, but they are really not designed to go boulder bashing in the Colorado Mountains. Never-the-less, we wanted to find out how they do when the road gets rocky in this first part of another fun and informative TFLcar Mashup review. Check out Part 2 as we see how well the Chevy Traverse handles rough and muddy Colorado trails.
