Very Reliable car.

Car drives and handles excellent. Gas mileage with the Hemi is great on the highway, so so in the city....to be expected. Very roomy for rear passengers. Excellent design and styling and functional layout.

I bought this car used, not a good buy.

Bought it used for 20k with 62k miles on it. Wish I went with a jeep wrangled. But better then a van.

Expensible and too much gasoline

It's heavy, not to stylish and too much gasoline. If you just want a vehicle to transport your family o a big group. This is a vehicle.

Beautiful family car.

This is the perfect family car. Size is great, not too big not too small. The interior is pristine. The exterior is tough yet classy. Perfect car for us and pur three littles.

The vehicle needs a stronger power plant.

After owning my Durango for 5 years, I feel that I can comment on this vehicle. Great car to drive with plenty of room and great styling, but, it needs a bit more power. Since all you offer is the hemi V8 as an option and only in the RT you should consider offering a smaller V8 for a bit more torque. At least consider maybe a turbo V6 as an option for more power. Hard making it up a steep hill with 3 adults, 2 teenagers and luggage. I'm sure that I'm not the first one to suggest this. You make a change and I will buy another one next year. Thank you

Best SUV on the road

I bought my Durango new in 2012 it's an R/T trim AWD I've had no mechanical problems it seats me and my grandchildren in comfort. I get good gas mileage for a seven passenger SUV about 14 in the city and around 22 on the highway and I have a lead foot.

Durango Love

I purchased a 2012 Dodge Durango just over a year ago and it has exceeded expectation. Bought with 88,000 miles and now just passed the 100K mark and it runs like it's got about 1/10th of that. Not a single problem or issue with this truck. Nothing but good clean reliable fun and style. I plan on continuing to take immaculate care of her and get at least 400,000 miles out of her.

2012 Doge Durango R/T

I recently purchased a 2012 Dodge Durango R/T.,25000 miles.The car is like brand new and is everything i expected after doing much research.Great styling,comfort,conveniance & performance.My only complaint is the 20" wheels.Which do not leave much sidewall on the tires,resulting in a harsher than desired ride quality.But i wanted a sporty SUV,and that's part of the deal.Overall it's my everyday hotrod driver,and i'am very happy with it.
