"Loving our new 2011 Dodge Durango. I love our newer used car, however the gas tank is 24 gallons, so filling up with these gas prices is a little painful. The car iteself has a lot of room and the seats pop up nicely and lay down easily... The amenities are great, auto trunk open/shut from the cabin, the cargo area and the remote control. The auto seats for up to 2 people and more. The 7 passengers is pretty cool too.... I am very happy and the value, is great for a full size 7 passenger vehicle."

"I just wanted to shout out to everyone who has been doing the exhaustive vehicle search like me for a great SUV. I bough a 2011 express with the added touchscreen entertainment package early in August for 21,998 only had 10.5K miles on it. I took it on a ride to Branson towing my 1800 lbs LOWE Fishing boat for some trout fishing on Taneycomo. I was almost spot on with my gas mileage estimate towing which was about 17 MPG. I loved everything about the vehicle it's ride is great, handling is excellent, looks are very sharp (Just feels good and fun to drive). when I got back and took the trailer off we are getting in the city average about 21.5 mostly because my wife drives it but has a descent stretch of straightaways to her work. when we took some friends with us and were driving the highway to a place out in cetral IL, we were averaging about 25.5 and most of the time the indicator was close to 28 MPG. With all things considered so far not taking into account there is some wierd winshield noise that happens when driving 55+ and you hit the wind just right (dealership is going to have a look this Thursday) It is a real pleasure to drive, I really hope this thing has no issues like my 2005 Jeep GC with hemi had. I want to keep this for a long long time.. :)"

"Bought the Citadel RWD version of this vehicle used with about 17k miles as a replacement for a minivan. The Citadel has all the bells and whistles. Have had it only for a few weeks but here are my impressions: Interior - tan leather is very nice, layout of the driver's seat and center console is great and not too confining, head room is acceptable (I'm 6'3"), like the telescoping steering wheel but wish the steering wheel came down into my lap more, no adjustable second row seat to give leg room when needed. Driving - Citadel has 20 inch wheels that look nice but ride is rougher than the 18 inch wheels, handling is good although I haven't seen this car handle in snow/ice yet, Hemi engine has decent pick-up but you have to hit the gas a little bit to get her to go, gas mileage around town is pretty poor but got about 21 mpg on a 300 mile trip out of town last week. I was surprised how much I really like the Adaptive Cruise Control. Around the metro area I can turn on the adaptive cruise and car will adjust it's speed relative to the car in front of me, even applying the brakes if needed! Pretty amazing technology. Overall really like the car, hope it lasts a long time!"

"This vehicle replaced 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee, was looking at 2011,2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee then I saw e the New Durango. I have the Durango Express 3.6L which had all the features I needed but added 3rd row seating which can come handy at times. The one and only complaint I have is the Air Recir. when selected does not stay selected the next time you restart or go on a trip later that day or next day. Dodge is aware of this issue which causes other exhaust and unplesant oders when in city driving. All in All this vehicle is Quit,smooth riding and very responsive."

"Solid family truckster, you fell safe and comfortable. It delivers a quiet smooth ride. The Crew edition has plenty of extras but it could have used auto sensing wipers & Navigation standard; in today's tech world this should not be an add-on. In addition the promotion is a family car but DVD entertainment system is also an add-on...:( Thats why they make aftermarket i guess."

"Sleek, comfortable, and fun to drive. Inside and out the Dodge Durango Citadel edition has met all of our expectations. My wife and I just celebrated the birth of our new son. This vehicle has been perfect as a family car. The power lift gate, leather seats, roomy interior, climate control, remote start feature, 3rd row seating, rear facing safety camera, and comfortable ride have made our 2011 Durango a solid choice."

"The 2011 Dodge Durango had me at 'hello.' I was impressed from the moment I first drove it as a rental car in CA. And this is despite the Dodge sour taste in my mouth from our crummy 2005 Grand Caravan. (It's no wonder they went bankrupt - what a shoddy product!) The Durango: sharp styling, fun to drive, great features, rather economical V6 (esp given its size), and a stunning interior - WOW. The CREW trim gives a lot for the $$$. Even if - like me - you think you don't need all the fancy stuff like power tailgate, backup camera, etc... you might find yourself delighted w/ them once you have them. (The base model is quite good still - better than most entry level trims.) I'm stunned how great the handling is - exceptionally smooth and very, very quiet. The seats are large, supportive but not hard, immensely adjustable, even throne-like. Its rear wheel drive is more enjoyable than its front drive competitors. Towing is also strong even on base models without options. Got a pop-up camper? Bring it on, no tow package required! And I never get tired of seeing and touching the dashboard's subtle pattern and cushioned feel. Downsides? A few quibbles - the mileage around town does drop fast if you don't feather it from stoplight to stoplight. The CREW stereo gets really loud, but it's muddy sounding until the volume is high, and then it sounds better. This is a great way to get our 4 kids around town, though some sort of expanded storage on the roof is needed for camping trips since the "trunk" is a bit limited. The cruise control system is a tad slow to engage sometimes, like when pushing the resume button. And the backup camera screen is slow to become visible when putting the car in reverse. Like I said - quibbles; nothing that will irritate an owner over the years. What about quality? Well, this is post-bankrupt Dodge, and it shares its underpinnings w/ a Jeep and Mercedes, so it's promising. Even better though - for a reasonable price Chrysler offer a LIFETIME unlimited year/mileage warranty that's pretty much "bumper to bumper." That sealed the deal for me! I bought a lightly used model that was only 6 mo old and approx eight thousand $$$ below MSRP."

"Omg, my Durango is the best vehicle that I have had so far. It has get up an go and style at the same time. Due to a back injury it also provided lumbar support. I would not trade in this vehicle for anything"

"Traded in my Lexus 400h for my Durango Citadel and it has way more options and luxury than my Lexus ever had, but with a much better price tag. I am not much of a car enthusiast, but I must say that I fell in love with the Citadel the minute I got in it. Great vehicle, great features, great price!"
