Work great suited for a family not for one person

All the electronics work great car responds properly had it for three years but I am a single bachelor and feel the car is too much for one person that is why I need to get rid of it to someone who will definitely use all aspects of the car

Well Cared for/ Driven

I am the only owner on this truck, and I have used it for work, travel, and recreation. It currently has 197,400 miles, but sits in my garage most of the time now. She needs a new owner that will take care, and love her as well as I did. With a 5.7 magnum Hemi engine, I had a lot of fun driving this truck on, and off-road. It is well capable of towing small loads, and pulling stuck drivers out of the snow or muddy ditches.

DO NOT BUY THIS CAR

I purchased this vehicle less than one year ago, and have had issues with overheating from day one. Two months ago I took the car in again to have it repaired, and after it drove great. Fast forward to yesterday and the car started overheating like crazy. I pulled off and had it towed back to the shop. I got a call today that the repairs to get it running would be about $3,000, but there was no guarantee how long it would be before this happened again. The repair shop also said I could rebuild the engine, but again, it was likely that this could happen again. I was told that this was a common problem (or "defect") with this car. So just know that this car is a piece of GARBAGE. Yes, it looks nice, and yes it has a third row, but do not fall for the looks because this car is a ticking time bomb. DO NOT BUY THIS CAR!!!!

Very reliable!!!

My 2004 Dodge Durango Limited with the 5.7 HEMI is a one family owned car. I inherited this car from my sister who babied it for many many years. It was her daily driver and Vegas car. Hauling families and visitors at least once a month from 2007 to 2012. It had 256,000 miles when I took over ownership in 2014. Current mileage is about 268,000. Runs very strong, lots of power, and handling is superb (like a big body sports car). If you don't mind the gas mileage (about 12 miles CITY and 16 HWY at best), this is the choice car to own. Another 300,000 miles is easily achievable on my HEMI engine . Safe driving everyone!!!!

Excellent Comfort and Performance

I bought the Citadel model which is fully loaded with every feature offered, it's very comfortable and with the Hemi Engine it is amazingly powerful and can't wait to tow with it this summer!!

Very low mileage for a 15 year old car

Very low mileage for a 15 year old car. And the body is in very good condition no rust. Runs and drives great. Will buy again.

This is the most durable vehicle. Great space.

This is an excellent vehicle to own, that you don't have to worry about, never had a problem, engine takes off like brand new, I feel safe always, 4WD Excellent in snow, a very reliable vehicle. I want an engine with great speed, it handles the job, very well, a solid investment and vehicle.

Champ

I drove this car everywhere and only had a few minor repairs in the 160,000 miles I drove it. You couldn't kill that thing. Most reliable vehicle I've ever owned with tons of room inside, and very comfortable. Loved my Durango.

Reliable vehicle

Smooth riding vehicle with lots of space. Powerful engine. Only issues we have had is with rust along rear wheel wells and rear hatch but that's pretty typical for cars of this age in northern states.
