2004 Dodge Durango

Pros: SLT+ is pretty darn loaded. 4x4 w/360ci engine has good pulling power.
Cons: gas GUZZLER, cramped, noisy, rough riding, unreliable, dated looking.

Horrible, horrible gas mileage. Very cramped elbow/leg/headroom for a large vehicle. Not very comfortable. Something is constantly breaking down on it, and Dodge parts are insanely expensive. Not an easy vehicle to work on. Doesn't carry very much cargo with the seats folded down for a full size SUV. Difficult to get in and out of 3rd row seat. The carpet stains just by looking at it.

Pros: Great power , Nice look
Cons: Cheap plastic , lots of recalls,

First thing to break is the passenger door handle. My boyfriend just opened the door and it broke off. Went to the dealer thinking just order the part, You have to buy the whole door panel $430 they are crazy. Then the plastic around the seat crack and broke. Then the driver side where the seat is that holds the seat belt from the bottom of the chair that broke also. The back of my car inside the panel that open broke also. The plastic is so cheap now my knobs to the radio are starting to have small cracks I regret buying my car

Pros: Power of the Hemi, interior space and third row bench
Cons: Fit, finish, dependability, mechanical problems, cost to maintain, lack of support from Dodge

I find the size of truck perfect for two kids. The third bench creates space to haul people when friends are tagging along. You can also haul many things by simply folding the seats down. I also love the Hemi. The power plant makes driving in all conditions effortless. The issue with this vehicle is the mechanical problem after problem. I have spent several thousand dollars keeping the truck on the road with premature mechanical failures. Dodge is a terrible company to work with and will not back any of the issues affecting this truck.
