Why Anthony Richardson Drives a Dodge Durango

2021 Dodge Durango

Why does Gainesville native Anthony Richardson drive a Dodge Durango? In his own words, “As a young kid my favorite car was a Charger, and my mom rented one when I was younger and I fell in love. But, after getting one a year or two ago, I realized I was too big for it. I just started looking for a bigger vehicle and Durangos just caught my eye and now I think I’m in love with it.” It’s with that in mind that we here at Gainesville Chrysler Dodge Jeep are proud to have partnered with Gators player #15, providing him with a new Dodge Durango of his very own!
