Great Car!!

Loved this car, lots of good times with family and friends, can seat 8. It has great shocks so the drive is very smooth and comfortable. The heated seats were my favorite thing about this car during the cold weather.

My Mom mobile

This has space for all the kids and dogs. The exterior is stylish and the interior has kind of a luxurious look with the wood grain around the radio and temperature controls. My Kids love that it has a DVD player. As for the way it drives, it offers a nice smooth ride.

Patience Is A Virtrue

Sometimes being in the right place at the right time Still Pays Off. It could'nt have been a better day for buying A Used Vehicle. I Stop in and my Saleswomen Literally Drove me Home after this Purchase. Her Name Briggett Shepard Riveroakshonda. Hows that for Delivery!

Best bang for the buck

Hemi powered, will tow anything with style. Dodge Durango is a perfect size suv, not to big, not to small. Decent gas milage, about 20 mpg highway.

Best car value I have ever owned

AWD Limited model w 3rd row seats, rear seat DVD, etc., etc. Bought this from rental car sales at 2 years old and 35K miles when gas was $4/gallon and they were almost giving it away. Now has 150K miles. Only significant repair ever has been a transmission solenoid for about $600 at 90K miles. Gets 17 MPG city, 20 Hwy. 3rd row seat entry very easy. Rear seats could use a bit more leg room. Developed gas filler splash back issue at about 100K miles that was dealer warranty fixed (complete new tank I think). Great power, very comfortable, easy to drive in town or on the road. Will tow a house. A bit large to try to park in a tight parking space in a full lot, but with a vehicle this big that's kind of a duh I guess. I've owned about 50 cars including big and small trucks, other SUVs, Lincolns, Cadillacs, Porsches, Corvettes, Mercedes, BMWs, and Infinitis. THIS ONE IS THE WINNER.

Walked Away ...

Owned an 04 Limited. Loved it. 165000 miles with no major issues. Driving home from work, tire blowout at 65mph. Head first into concrete divider, rolled over once. When the world stopped spinning I got out and said I survived without a scratch. Built like a tank and saved my life.

Amazing vehicle! Sad to see her go!

My husband and I bought the 06 SLT 4x4 durango in 2011. It was love at first drive for me. I have always driven big, lifted trucks. Then I became a mother and needed something practical. This Durango made me feel like I was in a big truck and could go ANYWHERE...AND IT DID, we took this up the mountains to camp/off road it did great, Daily driving was even better, we loved that we could pack the baby, family and still have room for the luggage, groceries etc. I have a long commute to work (47 miles one way) so I am getting a sedan...but will miss my durango very much. it was a great machine! IF you treat your vehicles right, service them when you are supposed to they will reward you with lots of fun!

Trouble free for over 5 years

Everyone I know who has owned a Durango loved it. Purchased ours new in 2006 and have had to do only routine maintenace. It drives like a car, the turning radius is amazing. Very comfortable.

Great for the price

For towing capacity, comfort, power, and styling it's a 5 out of 5 stars. The only down side is it is a gas hog, but if you want the horsepower you have to expect to feed the ponies. Great deal on used ones most likely because of this though.
