Here's how you ruin a good thing...

by carnut2k4 Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500
Aug 20 '06 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 3.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Powerful, comfortable, roomy
Cons: 'Trucky' handling, shameful gas mileage, they made a nice truck ugly
The Bottom Line: Solid truck but not as pretty as it's equally competent competitors.

“I’ll take a minivan.” That’s what I told the Enterprise folks at the Boston Logan Airport location when making my reservation a timely eight weeks in advance. Apparently Enterprise and I don’t share a common definition for ...

Wife's newest pride and joy

by l3it3r
Sep 12 '06 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 4.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: HUGE cargo, 7 seats (8 in the limited), Power, Comfort
Cons: MPG could be better, exterior is love it or hate it.
The Bottom Line: I reccomend this to someone looking for an affordable fullsized SUV that has a lot of options and good power.

We recently purchased a new 2006 Dodge Durango for my wife to replace her car, a 1998 Volvo V70 GLT, which in turn became my daily driver. With two kids, and a huge stroller and groceries, the volvo wasn't cutting it anymore. Plus, she's a truck kinda ...

Excellent SUV

by ag4hq
Mar 18 '07 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 4.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Cargo and passenger carrying capacity. Very comfortable.
Cons: Poor gas mileage. Looks like a van.
The Bottom Line: Great for a family like mine that needs cargo and passenger capacity. Comfortable, powerful and gets the job done, but watch out for the gas mileage!

I traded my full size 1997 Ram 1500 pickup truck for a 2006 Durango because my wife wanted an SUV in the family. My son plays in a lot of soccer tournaments and we are always making a long drive somewhere on the weekend, sometimes overnight. This ...

No complaints here...

by mtiger06
Apr 09 '07 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 4.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: seating capacity and interior space
Cons: GAS MILEAGE, quality of "leather seats" & a little to much plastic
The Bottom Line: If your looking for a family friendly vehicle and don't want to break the bank I would definetely recommend you take a look at the Durango.

We got the Dodge Durango about seven months ago after trading in our Mercedes ML430. Trust me I caught a lot of flack over that! However with a new baby to go with three other kids the ML just didn't meet our needs anymore. I admit it is hard to go ...

Darn good truck

by red67
Dec 22 '06 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Towing, 48"wide fold flat floor, 4wd is exceptional.
Cons: Front wiper, seats could be bigger, no hitch as standard equipment, no 4low on basemodel
The Bottom Line: Buy it if you need a truck, avoid it if you are a suburb soccor mom trying to enhance your image.

My experience has been very great so far. The interior is easy to keep clean, the all wheel drive works great, the payload capacity is huge, and I can tow more than I used to with my full size 4wd truck. I know everyone complains about gas mileage, my ...

Drives Great but Cheap Parts

by jesslynlowe
Mar 21 '07 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 3.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: The seats, spill factor, interior room, overall size are the pros.
Cons: The cons are the cheap plastic parts, luggage space, no room for strollers.
The Bottom Line: The bottom line is I love the car and the space it has for my size of family but wish it wasn't made so cheaply with plastic parts.

We bought this SUV brand new when it came out and loved it right away. The car drives really nice and has a lot of get up and go. We chose the Durango because we liked the body style, the size and the interior space. I think the best part about ...

Very Competitive

by slugger2yanks
Sep 05 '07 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 4.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Room, Engine, Flowiness and how perfectly everything fits.
Cons: Room behing third row, gas mileage.
The Bottom Line: This Durango has now earned to be mentioned with the Expeditions, Suburbans, and Yukons. Credit Dodge for coming out with something that stands out.

I had the opportunity to rent a Durango for 1 month and the experience was wonderful. My first impression of this was how aggresive it looked compared to my 03 Expedition. So as I looked around it I noticed on the back it said HEMI V8. When I saw that I ...

I Could Have Done Worse....

by unkasteve
Oct 29 '07 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 4.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Roominess, style, ease of use.
Cons: Gas Mileage, Plastics, Cloth seats.
The Bottom Line: I would probably buy again (not lease), but the gas mileage would be a determining factor.

I've wanted a Durango since they first came out, but always found the price to high to buy. March 2006, we had to trade in our Jeep Wrangler as it had become impractical for our needs. The best way (at the time) out of being upside down in our car loan ...

my husband wanted a manly SUV

by lizard_mcb
Jun 05 '07 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 4.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Quiet, roomy and AUX
Cons: low MPG, too big for me, but just right for my husband :o)
The Bottom Line: I would recommend this SUV to any one, it is roomy, reliable, quiet and tough

My husband and I bought our Durango in September (he needed something manly) and have been very satisfied with it. We had a VW Beetle before that was too small for my husband and it had a lot of problem right after the warranty was up. So we bought the ...

2006 Durango SLT - 8 passenger seating

by kmbrandt
Nov 15 '06 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: roomy, comfort, ease of handling
Cons: none for me
The Bottom Line: Buy it - you will love the room, style, and handling

I love my Durango!! We did not get the Hemi, but it does have the V8 - so lots of power. I drove a small sedan with 3 kids (2 in infant and toddler seats) for a long time - it became time to get a bigger vehicle. Plenty of people would go the minivan ...

Love It!!! It's my Mommy Bus!
by amymcc  
Mar 26 '07 
Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 
Pros: Stylish, fully equiped, durable
Cons: gas mileage, but hey all SUV's stink when it comes to gas mileage!
I have not one bad thing to say about this vehicle!! We have the Limited that seats 8 and comes with the DVD player. We have 5 kids, ages 14, 5, 4, 2, and 8 months, and this is the vehicle to have! Its as easy as it is going to get putting kids in and out. The seats flip out of the way easily. It handles great, the Hemi motor rocks! I can still feel cool! Don't get the van all you moms out there! Hold onto your coolness and get the Durango!!
