2003 Dodge Durango consumer reviews

I’ve got a 2003 SXT with the 4.7 and it’s a great SUV. It burns a little oil if I let it sit and idle for too long, only because the valve stem seals tend to go bad on the SOHC 4.7s at an early mileage. It’s not a hard fix to do, but I think I read somewhere that it can get a little costly due to labor. But otherwise it’s a good truck, I’ve yet to be left stranded on the side of the road for a mechanical failure, and most of the maintenance I’ve done was easily addressed at home with the proper tools.

I actually have 2 Durango's A 2002 5.9L FWD, and a 2003 4.7L 4WD, I love them both, although admittedly I drive the 2003 more often as it gets better milage with the 4.7L. Although the body style is not as flashy as the newer ones, the mechanical workings of the pre 2005 were a LOT more reliable, the 2003 is currently sitting at 197,680 mi (I bought it at around 140,000) and I have only done minimal routine upkeep/maintenance like fluid changes, tires, brakes, etc. The third row seating is nice, mine has the split bench seat in front, and seats 8, or the rear seats both fold down for plenty of cargo room, so taking road trips with or without passengers is no problem. Towing capacity is also better than average for an SUV, and the ride is comfortable. Overall I can't really think of any complaint I have had about this rig since I have had it, other than after 17 years of weather exposure it could do with a fresh coat of paint.

Got this 03 Durango 5.9 engine with 70k on it.It now has 220k .Have had to rebuild tranny and had some front end issues but fir the most part I love love love it

Best vehicle! I Bought myn with 5 miles on it in January of 03. Won't give it up! 2019 and Still going strong with OVER 200000 miles on it.... Best Purchase I ever made! I live on a farm so it does it all from hauling hay, horse Trailer, boat and 4 willing to Commuting with the kids. It dus awesome to NOT BE A 4X4. ((I have a 5in lift and mud tires)) I would recommend an 2003 Dodge Durango to anyone!!

We love it. Leg room. Space for cargo or extra people. Comfort. Turns tight. Love the body style! We had 2 of them but sold 1. It's very dependable and easy to drive.

This SUV met all of our needs with a family of four (two teenagers). Great for family vacations and winter driving if needed (4-wheel drive option). Very reliable vehicle.

extremely a nice car. good even in traffic and great in rolling and winding roads, fuel consumption for this kind of car in understandable knowing of its 8 cylinder engine

I just bought a 03 Dodge Durango from Auto Empire in Brooklyn, N.Y. from one of the owners Eddie. Eddie took care of me with a good price and completed all the paperwork and had me out of there in no time with keys in hand. Eddie is a very professional business man and I would highly recommend his company if you are looking for a reliable vehicle to take home. I just can't say enough good things about Eddie and Auto Empire!!!!!

The space and cargo room were amazing for the 15 years I drove this vehicle. I am only replacing because I wanted a smaller gas saving vehicle.

Very nice car . Very spacious. All power, good winter tires. Tags good until end of 2019.. excellent condition. 148 k. My husband loves this car. Very soft when driving.super powerful v8.gas
