It handles like a dream in all types of road conditions.
I really like how it has plenty of features that I like, such as GPS and a touch screen interface. It also handles very well and is very spacious. I can fit in many groceries and store items. I dislike it's MPG though.
accountCircle BRITTANY T
Comfortable car that handles great. Third row has a decent amount of legroom for this type of car. Great safety features.
This is a very versatile car that can be great for a family or someone that needs to have lots of room to transport things or people

Black Dodge durango 4 wheel drive
This has been the perfect vehicle for our growing family and is a great driver in the winter for going to work. Can even pull my small horse trailer with it.

The downfalls and benefits of a Durango.
I have not had many problems with the vehicle. One problem is at times it does tend to jerk or it idles high - I have taken it into the dealership but they were not able to find the issue. Other than that my vehicle runs great and is very comfortable. I love my vehicle because it is spacious.

For this car it sounds like you are revving it when you try to accelerate.
This vehicle is overall amazing, but whenever we try to accelerate it sounds like we have to rev up the vehicle to do so. This is the only problem we have had with this car. Otherwise we have had great experiences. It is reliable and very easy to drive.

It's mine and I will never get another car after this one.
My durango is so safe and comfortable. This is my second durango as we were in a serious accident with the first one two years ago.

This should be your next vehicle.
We have had no issues with our Durango. It has been very reliable. I was very surprised with the acceleration and handling performance, Dodge did not let us down. The interior is the nicest I have had in any vehicle the leather has a quality feel and the Uconnect system is user friendly.

Silver dodge Durango with third row seating.
3rd row seating. Touch screen with GPS. Heating seating for driver and pass twitch headed steering wheel. Dual ac for front and access for ac to the back. Throw row seats fold up for maximum storage. Drive assist for when in reverse. Bluetooth capabilities as well as USB access.

It is a comfortable ride and cost of ownership is lower.
I hate the automatic engine shut off system. There has been a ton of recalls on it. I do not like much about the vehicle actually.
accountCircle Jason B
Not a happy camper, do not recommend
The system makes no sense and is subpar to Ford and Chevy. The alarm randomly goes off, and the Bluetooth is sketchy.
accountCircle kennedy W
It is dark grey. Kinda long and sort of appealing.
The car is a good family car. I would choose this car over a minivan. It is great in the road and road trips. It is had like 1 recall and I got it all fixed. It has good mileage and it does not take a lot of money for gas. It is about average. This is my third Durango I have owned.
accountCircle Amanda D
Great investment, perfect buy.
Very reliable car. However not that fuel efficient. It is a smooth riding car. Great for road trips because it is spacious. It is a 7 seating car and has a lot of trunk space. Would definitely buy a dodge again. It allows me to connect my phone to it so I can do hands free driving.

The steering wheel is customer I have a metal chain welded around it.
The power steering goes out too fast I've repaired multiple issues with the brake lines but above all that when it's in prime conditions it is a smooth and beautiful ride nice to show off as well. I get good mileage and it could stop on a dime (as long as I don't have another issue with the break line.

Do not dodge a dodge, trust me.
It is very comfortable, and fits an average sized family. The brakes are a bit sensitive, but overall it is a good car. Gets good mileage, and has a back up camera for those who have troubles backing up! You can connect your phone through Bluetooth for music or phone calls.

I is a hood vehicle and it is a pretty reliable vehicle.
It has a good performance but the lights always need to be replaced. I changed all of the lights on the vehicle multiple times and the last time was a few days ago. The front rt blinker went out so I changed it then the next day the front left blinker went out so I changed that. Other th.

My roomy, efficient, amazing dodge Durango.
Dodge is a wonderful car to drive. Very easy to drive. My car has 3 rows and you can bull down the last 2 rows for carrying big items or multiple items. Car is very reliable and very comfortable. I have taken this car on road trips and it is surprisingly gas efficient on the highways. I didn't need to fill up the car for my trip to New York.
accountCircle Bernie S on June 18, 2021
Perfect car for moms that still likes the power of a sports car.
I love my car. It is the perfect car for a mom of 3. The children and car seats fit great and everyone is comfortable. The car also feels stylish and sporty for those hesitant to go for the minivan. It is the perfect mom mobile for a mom who still wants to look and feel good driving her children around. It also very good mechanically and we've never had a problem. It drives and handles great.

Pros from Owners

likeFilled Yleanna V.

Drives nice. It fits the needs of my growing family. It is a nice family SUV for a growing family. The third row seating comes in handy. The look of the SUV is sleek and so is the anterior. It is a compact SUV but does not feel cramped.

likeFilled Sara F.

The Dodge Durango seats seven people. It also has two engines that switch every time the car stops, which extends the life of the car. It has good gas mileage and still looks practically new, although we've had it for over three years.

likeFilled Jose A.

This car has plenty of space for stuff. Plenty of legroom and very comfortable seats. The car gets decent gas mileage to go along. Another pro would be how easily the car cools down. This is important since we live in Arizona.

likeFilled Michael C.

I would have to say gas is a factor on this vehicle it consume a lot. If you are looking to save on gas mileage this vehicle would not work. It does work great in the snow and holding your family in it.

likeFilled Nicole H.

The auto start. The bucket seats for the second row. The blind spot detectors. Temperature controls for passenger and driver. 0-60 in less than 8 seconds. Good highway gas mileage. Rear seats fold down for a good amount of storage. Fits 6 adults very comfortably. Cooling seats.

Cons from Owners

dislikeFilled Yleanna V.

I wished it had captain seats to easily access the third row. The tech in the vehicle needs to be updated. Automatic starter would also be a nice feature. Another feature that would be nice is a button to be able to close the back door without having to force close it.

dislikeFilled Sara F.

There are not many cons to the car other than the heating and air conditioner. The heating and air conditioning barely works unless the car is constantly moving, and even still takes a very long time to heat up or cool down in summer or winter.

dislikeFilled Jose A.

Although I couldn't think of many cons, one would be that sometimes the controls of the car are kind of hard to use. Another would be how difficult it is to turn the wheel. Even though it is a big car I'd expect it to control more.

dislikeFilled Michael C.

I would have to say the gas is one of the biggest. I also say it is hard to turn on sharp corners so taking wide turns. The electric also sometimes cause issue and it does get cozy. Also the seat are uncomfortable.

dislikeFilled Nicole H.

When you warm up the car in the winter, the defroster does not turn on in the front window so the front window still has ice on it. The key fob do not always unlock your car when you're standing by the car, sometimes you need to push the button which was a selling point for us and a young child.

Like everything else, you get what you pay for. I picked the R/T version which was top of the line and a little expensive.
