Love my Durango

I have 2 kids and lots of nieces and nephews so my suv is the best thing for hauling around kiddos. Plenty of leg room and storage. Great design. I cannot wait to upgrade in the future!

Very roomy, reliable and great looking SUV!

Still looks and drives great after all these years. Style, performance, durability, room, comfort, it checks all the boxes. Dodge hit a home run with this one!

Good family hauler

The wife likes the design so that's what she got. She loves everything about this car. It now has 193,000 miles. At 175,000 it had check engine light and loss of power, took to dealer they said needed plugs wires etc. IT was better but still bad took to a mechanic and he found the head gasket blown and a recall. Took to a different dealer and it's all better. Our only complaint is no take off power with the AC running.

I've had this car since Nov 2011

This car has had a lot of repairs. It had many things break and go wrong that feels unexpected even for routine maintenance. However, it has not left me stranded on the side of the road. I would not buy another Dodge vehicle after this experience. I have 172,000 and I'm just trying to keep it limping to 200,000. It is still very much in style and sleek in appearance. The interior is comfortable- all leather, DVD, sunroof. However, the engine, transmission, and manufacturing of the guts of this car is terrible.

Biggest piece of xxxx i have ever owned

This car is the biggest piece of xxxx i have ever owned. I have spent more on repairing it than i have paying for it. we bought it for 14,000 with 40k on it and now we have spent more than that on front end drive train, transmission, and now starter and leaking oil cooler. Stay away from Dodge, run as fast as you can. We have had to have it towed 3 times and every time the tow drivers said the most towed vehicle is a Dodge

I absolutely love this car

I have compared to other similar makes and the Durango far exceeded my expectations. I knew I was buying a nice car but once I drove it I was hooked. It has great leg space in all 3 rows. Its stable on the road and is just a perfect car. I couldn't have wished for better.
