Pros: Roomy. Comfortable. Powerful.

When I bought this car, I had just received a nice bundle of cash. I dropped the wad on the Durango and drove away in my first new car ever. And I was debt free. I was giddy.
I bought a Dark Chestnut (Brown) 1998 Durango SLT Plus with all the...

I am a Broker for an Oregon Real Estate firm and traded in my Jeep Cherokee for my '98 Durango. Yes, when I traded in "Bailey", I cried then too. You see, in my business, I can only depreciate my primary vehicle for two years thus I have to part with, ...

I purchased the Durango after my wife and I found out we were moving from Augusta, Georgia (Fort Gordon) to Anchorage, Alaska (Fort Richardson). With two kids about to enter the “soccer” stage, we needed good seating and good storage room. The area...

Pros: Look, seating capacity.
Cons: Gas Mileage
My Durango is my second SUV, my first being a Jeep Grand Cherokee. I loved the Jeep but wanted more seating room. I originally looked at the Durango only because of the extra seating room it offered and the way it looked, but soon found out there was...

My husband and I live in the Washington DC suburbs (read: terrible traffic all year around, *especially* when the weather is bad). Last year, after a major ice storm kept us stranded for two days, we decided to get a SUV. Having previously owned another...

My husband and I purchase one of the first Durango's that came out in 1998. We absolutely love it and have not had any problem with it in the past 2 years. This SUV is by far the best vehicle we have owned. We decided to purchase it when we were...

Pros: Reliability, room, versatility, cost
Cons: Gas mileage
The Dodge Durango is a great sport utility vehicle. I bought my 1998 Durango for commuting, hauling large items, towing trailers, and as a bad weather (snow, ice, rain) vehicle. It has done well for all these things. I did not get the aft seat option...

We've had our Durango for a little over a year now. We did extensive research in the SUV field. We compared the Chevy Tahoe, (too big) the Ford Explorer, (too small) and the Ford Expedition. For outright comparability in prices, the Durango was a much...

We bought this vehicle for our two kids and their friends, in 1998. It has been reliable, sturdy, and a pretty good suv. We got the SLT Magnum V8, with everything but leather(which I now regret). The strength of the Durango was put to the test in...

Pros: Tough, Reliable, and a beautiful sight and drive!
Cons: Paneling a little thin, light--stock stereo disappointing
With the same chassis and engine as the Dodge Dakota, the Durango is very very similar. The differences are, of course, that the Dakota is a pickup and the Durango an SUV, and a very good one at that. While certainly not in the same league as Hummers or...

Pros: it's big
Cons: everything else
Sure, Durangos look cool and seem like they would be so much fun to drive, but take it from me...it's not worth it! The Dodge Durango gets about as many miles on one tank of gas as my grandfather gets after a meal of bean burritos and no Bean-o(tm). I'm...

Pros: Value, Power, Space, Easy to Drive

I have owned a Durango for 2 years. I love it. For the money its a great value. The engine is powerful and always has passing boost on demand on the highway. I live on a heavily wooded lot. I have used my Durango to pull out stumps, haul around a small...
