2021 Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat 4dr SUV AWD (6.2L 8cyl S/C 8A)

The 2021 Dodge Durango fresh has basically addressed all minor complaints I had. The interior is up there with the most competitive in the segment, LED headlights, revised suspension, 10" UConnect 5, and more. Combined with the R/T, SRT, and HC in particular, this is one well-rounded SUV that is able to check a lot of important boxes. Everything from performance to practical utility. It has 3 rows, lots of interior room, good reliability, and is easier to maneuver than a full-size SUV. Opt for one of the V8 engines and you can have all of the performance you could ever want. The only real negatives are a somewhat dated exterior due to its old platform and fuel economy isn't the best with the larger 6.2 and 6.4l V8 engines. But it's a reasonable compromise for the excellent performance and V8 rumble. The Durango also hasn't had the most amazing reliability track record, but my personal experience with the latest models has been excellent. It seems they've addressed the big issues. I've had countless makes over the years, everything from Toyota, to GM, to Audi, and much more. And this is the first model I've bought twice. That alone says a lot. Overall, the Durango is an excellent and underrated SUV that's easy for me to recommend. UPDATE FEB 2022: Still love the Durango, no issues. With the v8 dying off, the higher-end models (SRT/Hellcat) will only go up in value. Get one while you can!

Quiet, smooth, powerful even with the v6 and head turner with gloss black 20s and reactor blue pearl coat. Sport mode will have you in the fast lane passing others in seconds. More options on the touchscreen than you can image. Totally impressed as I'm not historically a dodge guy. Bought this for all the above ... not as big as full size suv but darn close. Right, she'll suck some fuel if you get into the 295 horses. Amazing get up for only 295 hp. Pleasure to drive all the way around.

2021 Dodge Durango R/T 4dr SUV AWD (5.7L 8cyl 8A)

++Update: 17,000 miles, 20 months of ownership and Durango is still problem free. The Sirius was finally reloved.** Wanted an SUV with ample towing capacity. The Durango R/T is in a class by itself. I purchased a new 2021 model in Jan 2022. In addition to being able to tow my Polaris Ranger UTV, this vehicle is just fun to drive. I love the fact that Dodge kept actual buttons to control climate and media/radio instead of everything being thru the Uconnect System. I'm hoping that non-towing gas mileage improves a couple of mpg better than the combined 15 mpg I'm currently getting. I've only driven 7,000 miles during 8 months of ownership. So far the only thing that has not worked is Sirius Vehicle Condition Report that is to be each month. A case is open for the this problem that Sirius can't resolve. They had me go to the dealer a couple of times but problem still not resolved. This is not a deal killer for me as long as the Durango cranks and runs without any problems.

Dodge Durango technology falls short

2021 Dodge Durango R/T 4dr SUV AWD (5.7L 8cyl 8A)

Bought a new Durango R/T in late March 2021. Had it back to the dealership 3 times in two weeks for service right after I took delivery of it. The new Uconnect 5c 10.1 inch infotainment system is full of glitches and flaws. The first issue was lights inside the vehicle would not power down which ran the battery dead. Took it back to the dealership and they had to do a full reset on the infotainment head unit to get the system/interior lights to power down properly. Took it back the next week two different times for more issues related to the Uconnect system. No traffic and weather available from the new TomTom navigation system, no way to set up driver profiles, multiple issues in the system saving settings for the radio, apple car play, and bluetooth. Dodge and FCA have no sense of urgency to get the system fixed. They say it requires a software update to fix the multitude of issues, but they cannot/will not say when the software update will be available. They first said it would be available in the first quarter of 2021, then said it would be available in the second quarter of 2021, and now they are saying sometime this year. I cannot believe that FCA would put this infotainment system on the market with their vehicles without first testing and fixing all the flaws. Very disappointing. Should have bought a Japanese or Korean vehicle with more reliability and attention to quality detail.
Not that impressed

2021 GT blacktop - smooth ride and looks sharp but the interior and exterior is done cheaply. Wish I would of paid more attention before buying. Have had issues with the uconnect since the day I took it off the lot. Will not be buying another Dodge in the future.
