I've always liked the way the durango looks, kinda retro masculine look. It's been a great vehicle. I've got 150k, on it. I've upgraded the cooling system and transmission. Other than that, basic maintenance. It's been great. 3rd row, small lift, upgraded headlights, led interior lights, updated stereo. Yes, gas mileage is not good. This should not be a daily driver, more like a backup vehicle, pull a trailer, get stuff from the hardware store, go camping type of ride, then have something smaller and more economical for daily use. Do it that way, and you'll never have a reason to sell it.

Very reliable for a 24 year old SUV. Drive line is flawless, 360 ci, 4x4 with 175,000 miles. Mileage is horrible, but that's expected. Most repairs I'm able to complete myself which are not major, just normal wear and tear. Over the years I've replaced batteries, starter, fan clutch, fuel pump, brakes, tune ups, alternator and water pump. Going into shop for A/C compressor. Can't complain, second compressor in 24 years and living in Florida it's understandable.

I bought a brand new Durango on 2000 and with less than 30k miles the transmission died. Previous to that I had taken it to the dealership for repairs because I told them the transmission was slipping and they refused to look at it and only drove it around the block and said it was ok. After taking it the 3time for the same issue it died on the road and had it towed to dealership . With 30 k miles they informed me that the transmission had died. And that the warranty doesn't cover it they said it was normal wear and tear. I was pissed because I had a 1984 chev truck with 300k miles with the original transmission. I had to buy a new Durango transmission for 3500 dollars and they installed it. Dodge products are crap. I haven't bought another dodge product since.
