I accompanied my mom to the local dodge dealer to help her pick out her van and saw a Durango staring back at me! Needless to say I'm now the proud owner of SUV on 'Roids! It's easy to drive, handles like a dream, and looks awesome. I love the 3rd row seats - my 13 year old who is 5'7" fits comfortably and the ability to lay all back seats flat. My Durango in my opinion gets great gas mileage (17 mpg in town)... which is way better than my old Hyundai Santa Fe! I also have the flex fuel option, however the engine tends to sag a bit but the savings are appreciated! I love this car and have recommended it to everyone that asks!!!

Favorite Features

ease of driving, powerful V8, body style, sun roof, the angle that the rear doors open

Suggested Improvements

More rear speakers.

08 Durango

Review

I traded my Avalanche and got a 2008 Durango. So far great SUV, very comfortable and alot of room for the kids. Easy to drive, and the rear AC is the best I've had in any vehilce. I'm averaging alittle over 17mpg's in the city. Took a long trip and averaged 19.8mpg's. Only thing that's concering is the traction and control in the rain, could be the tires but more likely because the vehilce is up higher then most and so seems to effect the control. Overall I would recommend this SUV in anyone.

Favorite Features

Rear AC Interior room

Review

I previously owned an 06 SLT with the 4.7. I went and checked out the 08s and new that I had to have one. Next day traded in the 06 for the new one. The new SLT with the Hemi is freakin sweet. When you put the hammer down you know that there is enough power for anything and everything that you could ever need. There is plenty of room and the extra options that you can get make it amazing.

Favorite Features

The Hemi is awesome, sun roof, MyGig, back up cam, and the Alpine speaker system sounds so crisp and clean.

Suggested Improvements

The only improvement I would recomend is for the release of a lift kit so that we could fit some sweet rims and off road tires.

Beautiful Vehicle

2008 Dodge Durango Limited 4dr SUV 4WD (4.7L 8cyl 5A)

Review

I almost had my mind made up to buy a GMC Acadia until I test drove the Durango, no comparison. The Durango won hands down. Nice and roomy. I just love the way it rides and handles.It is a beautiful vehicle inside and out. I picked out the Limited with the Hemi and could not be more pleased. It looks sporty with all the chrome trim but looks and rides like a luxury car. It has everything you could possible want in a vehicle. It's loaded. Oh those leather seats with the suede middle, I just love them. They don't get hot like solid leather seats and so comfortable. It's also a very quite ride.

Favorite Features

Leather seats with the suede middle, rear camera, built in GPS, DVD, 20 inch rims and tires, all the chrome trim, heated seats, rear air & heat, remote start, electronic rear gate, adjustable accelerator

Suggested Improvements

Of course, better fuel but other than that it's all great!

Loving It

Review

Great SUV, Hemi MDS works great, avg. around 17 mpg highway driving with cruise set at 55. Had an 2001 Durango SLT, traded it for 2006 Jeep Liberty, was not happy with Jeep, kept it 2 years. With 0% for 72 months and 2000.00 rebate, could not pass up the Durango. Driving Jeep made me miss the ride of a larger SUV.

Favorite Features

The Hemi, sat. radio, my gig stereo, the leather & suede seats and the smooth ride.

Suggested Improvements

Make remote start standard on Limited

Power, Luxury, Looks and Handling

Review

I test drove the Limited model with intentions of buying a cheaper model. After the test drive I was hooked! Leather interior, Hemi power, mygig w/rear tv for the kids, are all features I decided we had to have. Laminated glass really makes it quiet inside. And the hemi power and the 18" wheels make it a awesome performance ride. The fuel saver mode on Highway really saves on the gas too. Rear camera and park assist, along with the power tailgate and sunroof were extras that I wouldn't have picked but are really nice to have. I test drove everything in its class and this vehicle wins hands down! I look for reasons to take it out for a spin, its that fun to drive!

Favorite Features

Mygig cd/dvd satellite tv and radio and GPS is a super bundle. 18" rims for a sports car like ride. Heated leather seats with memory for 2 drivers is nice. Parking alarms and camera work great day or night. Laminated glass for added safety and quiet ride.

Suggested Improvements

Little more leg room in the back although if the passenger moves seat up a bit its very comfortable for me and I am 6' 5"

2008 Durango - Great Truck

Vehicle

2008 Dodge Durango Limited 4dr SUV (4.7L 8cyl 5A)

Review

What a great vehicle. This truck drives and handles like a luxury car and is quiet. Almost 19 MPG on the HWY isn't too bad either. Not sure why I don't see these advertised. Gives me plenty of room to travel with a family of 4 and large dog.

Favorite Features

Drives like a car and you carry on a conversation without shouting over vehicle noise, i.e. road and engine. Hands free phone is awesome.

Suggested Improvements

As with any vehicle, better fuel economy.
