After a town, Durango Colorado. A description of the town Durango Colorado, uses terms like rugged
terrain, spectacular view, beautiful, scenic,
exciting, diverse terrain, mountenous sites,
for the outdoorsmen, powerful setting. Kinda
sounds like perfect words to describe a SUV...a Durango. Look at Laramie SLT in the Rams, same idea....Laramie Wyoming. Same description fits there also. One more Laredo in the Jeeps...
Laredo Texas. Gives you that same country feeling or westerny feeling as Lesley put it.

Well, it shore ain't a horse. I've ridden horses (jumping, cross-country event, fox-hunting) all my life and I ain't never heard of one called a Durango.
It sounds like someone Billy the Kid would know: the Durango Dude. Or, a collection of stock critters, you know, the remuda and the durango... or a western town, head into Durango to the saloon, or... grab yer durango podner, and let's saddle up!

wrong , lesley there is a western event called durango. The rider walks beside his horse, just out of sight of the barrel, with rope in hand as he turns to the left he shall lasso the barrel before being seen by the horse. The rider who can do this while only wearing one boot is the champ! this has been going on for 100 s of years down in ol mexico
