Plenty of room, comfortable seat for long drives, great look, and a decent performer in all areas (for an SUV).

Cons

MPG, but you do have to pay to play.

I Love The R/t — I personally think the first gen Durango is one of the SUV's that can fit almost anywhere and is a good overall SUV. It has some power when you need to pass and has great looks IMO. There is good handling, not recommended for auto crossing lol, in and out of corners and everyday driving.

My Vehicle — I love my Durango. It has a V8 Magnum Engine. Very nice acceleration. So far I haven't had to replace anything other than a headlamp bulb. It does pretty decent on the gas usage. Also wonderful for when I have the kids in the vehicle they can be separated.

Primary Use: Commuting to work

A Great Little All Around Vehicle — I Bought my Durango used, and although it was high maintenance at first to fix what the previous owner didn't take care of, This vehicle is the best overall vehicle I've ever owned. It is sure footed at all sane speeds, has more power than it needs, and will cruise at 70 miles an hour all day long. Keep oil and coolant right and I think it'll last forever. The 4.7 does not like engine Heat! The body style is one I've always liked, much more than the newer ones, and the fit, finish and design of the interior is outstanding. It should have disc brakes on the rear as well as the front, but although not the best, the equipment works very well with only normal maintenance. I have 82000 miles on this little gas ( 16-18 mpg)hog highway tank, and hope to put a lot more on it. Haven't had it in mud, but pushed snow with the front bumper while hunting up in Northern Vermont. I would highly reccommend this vehicle for any one who takes pride in owning a good vehicle, and doesn't mind a weekend here and there maintaining it.

Great style and power, lots of room for passengers, good comfort and cargo capacity

Cons

Poor gas milage, transmission needs work about every 60K miles, not particularly nimble, some interior trim not holding up

Good Dodge Suv — I bought my Durango new and I've had it ever since (11 years and 120K miles). I love the curvy fender style and the comfort of the interior space and seating. I have had to put some work into it over the years, mostly normal maintenance items (brakes, tranny, differentials, A/C recharge, etc). The main issues I have had are on the transmission. I had to get it replaced at about 60K miles and now at 120K miles, it is starting to slip again. It has been a really good vehicle for my family, holding lots of cargo and people as my kids have grown up and we've taken it on numerous tips to mountains, plains and deserts. It does great in the snow and has great power to make it over mountain passes or trails, with the 5.9L engine. I have been very happy with my Dodge, with the exception of the poor gas mileage. I get 13- 14 mpg in the city and 14 - 15.5 on the highway (not much difference). In general, I can recommend the Durango as a good general purpose SUV.

Wonderful Suv For Family — Love my Durango! If I were not working 30 miles one way to work every day, I would keep my Durango as long as I could. It is such a quiet SUV to drive and the handling is excellent. Definately worth the money.

Good Car — Great acceleration, but has spun out a few times, might be because i ride her so fast. it is really fun to drive, and has lots of space, especially after you put the seats down. its not as pretty as the new ones, but im not ashamed to drive it.
