  • Purchased my '17 DD GT with 25k miles on it.

    Purchased my '17 DD GT with 25k miles on it. Have owned for around 4 years and now have 66k miles. Haven't had any issues. Routine maintenance only. Love the style and comfort. Interior seats are comfortable for long drives. Mine came with lifetime oil changes. Dealer support has been good (although we've only had oil changes so hard to say). I'm hoping this continues.

  • GUTSY DURANGO R/T

    R/T Blacktop Edition, had wheels chrome anodized as part of deal. Incredible pep and still I have life-of-car mpg of almost 19mpg! Infotainment system rated as the most intuitive on the market. THAT is true! Approaching 30k miles and so far only in last month one problem. Water pump sprung tiny leak. In 2017 dealers offered LIFETIME warranty for entire drivetrain plus some. YEP! They replaced it and it cost me ZERO. DEALERSHIP that did work told me NEVER sell this car! Someone that has a business bought an entire fleet and have had engines replaced after 500,000 miles! Free! Captains seats and console in second row, sunroof, towing package, BEATS stereo kicks a$$ !!! Air conditioners for front and rear. Plenty of cargo room convertible to (2) more seats if necessary for short trips or smaller people. USB ports and electrical plugs everywhere! Sport Mode, Paddle shifters, tons of goodies. Don’t get one with Auto-Stop though. Dealer said I made the right choice not ordering that. He said people hate it. Mine has the “turn-knob” shifter that was a downer at first. Didn’t think I’d EVER get used to that! But I did and it is so much less of a pain because it is so flat and doesn’t stick up in your way. Plenty of cup-holders, pockets on doors, etc. Car has a wonderful and SOLID feel. No squeaks or rattles at all. Love the options with the dashboard instruments too. Yes. This car will stay with me a VERY LONG TIME.

  • Unreliable

    I always had Japanese vehicles and this was my first American car, I liked the appearance and comfort for the family. The vehicle was pre certified from the dealership with 15k. Ive never had a vehicle that had so many electrical problems/ failures. Dodge has a horrible unreliable can-bus system that plagued it with issues every couple of months { issues began at 22k - 97k } At a milage of 60k { Proper service/ maintenance } The right side cylinder head needed replacement { rocker / cam failure ? } thankfully I had purchased extended warranty. I had the battery's replaced 6 times for all electrical issues { battery light on/autostart }. Service technicians and managers always said it was the battery { They were clueless/ probably just reset all the modules }. Beware of dodge they look nice but do your research/forums and you'll be surprised with all the complaints. It will leave stranded when least expected. We Sold the vehicle and we purchased a 2022 Acura RDX { Luxury , sporty , RELIABLE and electrically simple }.

  • Upgrade from 2006 --- 2017

    Purchased this awithout test driving nor visiting dealership. I'm thoroughly satisfied. I previously owned an 06 Durango and it lasted 14 years so I decided to try again and it is a nice upgrade. The comfort, style and features are quite nice, 3 USB ports, 110 plus, nice let room, trunk space and storage. I've only had it for a month but so far I'm pleased.

  • HEMI=FUN

    Is an RT trim and is just fun to drive. The HEMI just puts a smile on my face.. the sound.. the looks.. is just perfect! If you need a family vehicle but your not settling with the minivan look.. look no further the Durango RT or SRT is the way to go.
