"This is dodges best suv. The 5.7 liter V8 can haul a house and still get 21mpg. We use this to go skiing and family playtime. Tons of room inside with third row seating and storage. Great for kids too with limited editions dvd and wireless headsets for movies and video games. Awesome sound system from Infinity. Amazing control in snow, ice and rain. 6000pounds of protection on these crazy california hwy's is great for the family too."

"Good fit and finish. Great styling. Decent storage room for it's class, but much smaller than a Grand Caravan. Leather seats are too firm and lots of hard plastic throughout. VES video and Infiniti disc changer system are awesome! Digital dash controls on the LIMITED are nice. Split third row much better than the full seat. Tilt mechanism for rear seats not as friendly as Chevy EXT with third row but OK. Hemi guzzles around town at 8 to 14 mpg. Highway cruising with loads gets 22-23 mpg thanks to low final gear ratio. (We average about 15-18 with our routine). Overhead console with trip timer, economy meter etc... is a must to help get good mileage. Overall very pleased."

"I bought my 2004 Dodge Durango with 70,000 mi on it. I love this truck. It's got ample room, great stereo, great layout of controls. The 5.7 Hemi has more power than I expected. It really gets up and moves, tows like a champ. The only drawback for this vehicle is the gas mileage. I get an avg of about 16.5 MPG in mixed driving. I've seen the MPG go as high as 24 on the highway. It's much better than other models I've researched but more that I was used to in my 1999 Jeep Cherokee. The steering is smooth, responsive but not at all detatched like some larger vehicles. I would reccomend this truck to anyone looking for a full sized SUV"

"It is great to drive, it has a lot of power, and it handles well in the snow. CD changer failed, seat frame cheap, breaks. Besides regular maintenance, at around 85,000 miles I had to replace the transmission. Also at about 92,000 miles there were severe overheating issues that Pepboys and the Dodge dealer could not pinpoint. Moreover, they replaced the manifold, water pump, clutch fan, head gasket, etc and still could not figure it out; you want to talk about wasting my time? After a month, they found out that the radiator was the cause. Last but not least, at 96,000 mi, the engine is making a loud noise that I cant describe. About 3 different mechanic's recommend a new engine. I quess you know....I am done...!! Within the last 18 months, Tranny $1500, Overheating issue $1800, and if Iam stupid enough to buy an engine $3000."

"I got my Durango used about 5 months ago. It rides smooth and quietly and love the feel and look. I am impressed they even made adjustable pedals for shorts girls like me, thank you. I am amazed how much room there is. When the time comes for a new SUV I am buying a Durango."

"We purchased the V8 (non hemi) model used with 45k miles on it and we have had it for two years now and it has been great. We have put over 40k miles on it and it has been very reliable. A couple small repairs have been made, like the seatbelt broke. Other than that, no other repairs made. It handles very well and it has a smooth ride. I have not used it to tow. It is very roomy. The gas mileage is around 18 to 19 on the highway going 70+. Overall, it has been a great SUV."

"I purchased a Durango as my family grew. At the time I drove my Porsche 911 to work daily, rain, snow or shine. I needn't go into the Porsche performance. Shifting in rush hour traffic I thought would be about the only advantage to daily driving. I purchased the 5.7 Liter Hemi, SLT fully loaded. Pressing the accelerator modestly commands the beast. The horsepower, sound system, video system (watched movies while waiting for the wife to shop etc. not to mention my kids with their friends watching videos to and from events) and the view above the crowd left my 911 sitting for enough time to have my neighbors and coworkers question my sanity. I found no where else to submit my rating. My Durango is a 2004 which I purchased new. Yep, my Porsche got no major play time for 3 years. I'm going to sell it (Durango) to upgrade my Porsche, and recycle remaining funds for other things. I have the Durango, the Porsche and a Jeep Liberty. If I could keep it I would. The only dissatsifaction you could have with this vehicle would be something external to the vehicle, such as circumstances, not the vehicle."
