"Took this truck on many trips with up to 8 people through mountains and flat lands across America. My 1999 Durango SLT has 129k miles and still going strong. The computers in these give many people problems due to heat issues. I recently replaced the original at 128k miles. The hood scoops in many I believe help to solve this problem through improved air flow in the engine compartment. If your throwing crazy engine codes this could be your problem. I been keeping maintenance up and this baby drives great and sounds awesome with lots of power. The leather seats are very comfortable and premium sounds system is great. Lots of room with third row seating. Only negative I would say is that the steering is controlled through a gear box instead of the newer rack and pinion design. One side of the gears are starting to wear on mine and giving it a bit more play than I would like but not bad after 130k miles. Overall I would rate this as one of my favorites all time SUV's."

"I went from a 2000 Honda Accord LX, which I loved to death, to a 1999 Dodge Durango SLT. I unfortunately totaled my Accord and I was devastated. I wasn't looking into an SUV after the accident, I was originally looking for a Volvo XC70. When I had finally found one that I loved I went to the dealer to buy it. I'm VERY glad that they had sold it the day before and that they had directed me toward the Durango. I bought my Durango in July of '05 and have loved it ever since. My husband loved it so much he went out and bought his own this year (also a '99 SLT)!!!! Sadly the expenses of all of the work that it needs is too much for me. My Durango Has given me a great 6 years and I don't think I'll ever go back to a sedan."

"I have two Durangos and they are both still real work horses. Both have nearly 200K miles and just keep running. The R/T gets poor gas mileage but it tows well."

"This SUV is a low grade production of Dodge. There are numerous problems that come attached to this vehicle from mechanical to electrical. I avoid buying this vehicle and have purchased only 2 in the past 8 years that were in exceptionl condition and had less than 100K and still sold for less than 4000. At 164K this SUV has about reached its' lifetime. Do not be fooled by off focus picture with glare from the sun and foo foo rims that you can buy at a flea market for 400."

"Bought used 7 months ago and haven't regretted it at all. Had 142K miles on it at the time. Since then I had to replace the water pump due to bearings going out, but that's the only problem. The vehicle was obviously well maintained by the original owner. The 5.2l engine provides good power. Changed to a K&N air cleaner and it boosted the hp. Gets poor gas mileage, but you can increase it some by being careful starting - keep it under 2500 rpm while accelerating. Very roomy and comfortable."

"I bought this brand new in 1999 & have put over 115K on it. I had only needed to do standard maintenance until this year when I had to replace the freeze plugs. Its not the best on gas but it has hauled everything / everyone I've needed it to. It has held up better than most Chevy & Ford SUVs. I intend to drive it until the wheels fall off!!"

"Purchased this used a few months ago. Got a great deal so didn't really expect much. Ran a CARFAX Report and it checked out clean. Although a gas hog, it sure is fun. It has the 5.2l (318 cu in) engine which moves it along good enough. Options included rear AC which helps cool it off quickly on hot Texas days. All in all a good vehicle. I love it."
