Horrible experience

We have the 5.9L engine which requires premium gas, we had to rebuild the transmission which cost $3,000, inner and outer tie rod ball joints, drive shaft, starter, then engine started shutting off while driving. Replaced fuel pump, coil, crank sensor in effort to solve the problem and can't find it. We have to sell it for junk since nobody can fix it. Interior vent controls stopped working at about 60,000 miles. Had to replace automatic door locks on two doors, auto seat controls stoppped working a few thousand miles ago. Gas mileage is horrible. Everything else is OK though, does that make you want to go out and by one?

Best SUV

The Durango that I own couldn't be better. Has the power needed to haul almost anything and enough room for the whole family(dog too). The looks of the truck are very intimidating and makes other suv's seem wimpy. I bought it used for under $10k and I feel like i stole it.

Good Truck!

This was my first car. Everybody told me for your first car you should by a little 4door car, but i dont like little cars. I saw my 2000 durango and said i got to have that truck. Its been great to me. I have takin off road twice, and i made it out fine with the 4wheel drive. The only thing is that dont hit a pot hole doin 80mph. my wheel alinement is horrible. When its in 4wheel drive i dont even have to touch the steering wheel it will turn a corner by itself thats how bad it is. otherwise no problems. its almost at 102000. Still starts right up even when it was buried in 15inches of snow and in 10degree weather. I Love my durango hope it keeps goin for another 9 years lol.

Best Value&Performance for the Dollar

After buying my D with 74k I could not be more happy with my purchase.. I did have to replace the crank sensor at 113k(71bux).. aside from this minor issue this baby keeps on keeping on... smooth ride, quick response,quiet,snazzy looking too. The 4.7 eng is Mercedes and is as smooth as can be... They'll have to pry my cold dead fingers off of this baby when I go.

Very Reliable

I love the Dodge Durango the best SUV I ever owned. You cant go wrong with this car. I can not think of anything I would change with it ,but the gas milage . I put in a K&N air filter and I get better gas milage then I got when I first bought it.

Very Reliable!

I bought my 2000 Durango 4yrs ago used with 60,000 miles on it, I have had no trouble with it at all and we are going on 205,000 miles. The only thing I would change is the gas milege, I may not be able to afford to drive it anymore, getting about 12 miles per gallon. Best Truck I have ever had, beats the Fords my husband has in the back that dont' move.

Dodge Durango 2000

I have owned mine for 4 1/2 years and are having all kinds of trouble with the cooling system. After taking it to three different shops I took it to the dealer they charged me $1500 and it is still not fixed. They then told me it needed $3000 more work. The check engine light went on 6 months after we bought it and none of the places we have taken it can figure out what it's main problem is. The transmission is now also having trouble and the car only has 65k mile on it. I have owned cars that I have put twice the miles and had half the problems. I am very disappointed I realy like the car but I an scared to cont. to put more $ into it. What will be next?

Great Buy

This vehicle is ideal for families or anyone wishing for more seating room and/or cargo space. Its engine has been very reliable and has never needed any repair. Repair was always done at the manufacturer's recommended time. Very comfortable ride. This vehicle hadles like a champ. With its off-road tires, the ride is very smooth yet ready to take on the most challenging of roads. Wow.

2000 4x4 Dodge Durango SLT

Whether I'm hauling a trailer, hauling bikes on a hitch-mounted rack or going to the grocery store, this SUV really is a utility vehicle. The ability to shift quickly to 4x4 when it's raining or snowing give me peace of mind and the traction I need. The styling is very appealing. It's not too big, not to small - just right.
