When I bought my 99 D an engineering I was working with at the time gave me a website that showed the results of the testing data in a nice graph and data presentation.  It had graphs and the raw numbers side by side.  I have tried unsuccesfully to find the site again with no luck.  

What I have found is that if you go to WWW.NHTSA.DOT.GOV and look around you can find all the data.  If you go under Research and Development you can find the test results/data/numbers from the 1998 and on for the Durango.  For the graphs go under crash test, then SUV catagory, then input year, then click on any of the stars, then scroll up and you will see the graphs that show probability of injury.

Combining the two can get you an idea of how the car performed in the test.  This kind of data to me is more valuable than a general catagory of good or bad.  You can also compare it to other SUV and see strenghs and weaknesses.
