We bought this a few months back and are extremely pleased. Great family SUV. Has plenty of room our 3 children and all the extra stuff they like to take when going on long trips. Also pulls a camper very well.

I bought mine over 5 years ago and I've had little to no complaints. I've had a body control module replaced and that's it! It's very fun to drive, lots of room, and it's not the best on gas but what SUV is? I'm keeping this one for a while longer but will consider another one after this one.

Best of its Class

I have been driving full-size and midsize SUV's for more than 20 years and have owned Fords, Chevys and GMCs before buying a 2001 Durango. The Durango is the best engineered truck in its class. It offers excellent power, impressive acceleration and uch tighter handling and turning than the other SUV's I have owned. There is also a much finer level of detail to things like power outlets, electrical controls and heating/cooling than on the other trucks. I have spent a lot of time in this truck in all sorts of bad weather and it has never been anything less than stable and sure- footed, and does not feel like its ready to rollover in sharp curves. My only complaint is poor fuel economy.

Grand Cherokee + Suburban = Durango

We wanted a V-8 SUV. Grand Cherokee was top on our list, but it wasn't any bigger inside than the Acura we were replacing. Suburban/Tahoe was too big for my wife, and too expensive for me! Then we found the Durango--fully loaded SLT 4.7L!!! It is the perfect blend of size--big enough for our small family, small enough that my wife is comfortable in it; plenty of power to tow the toys, and didn't break the bank (thanks in part to low resale value and bad press!). Drives pretty well (not as smooth or sturdy-feeling as a Sub/Tahoe, but not bad), great power (feels as fast as our '01 Acura TL), interior is as nice as Chevy's LT packages, and we even get near 20 freeway mpg (speed limit)

Reliable Durango without hemi

I purchased this Durango the week before 9-11-01. I put 24,000 miles the first 2 years. The vehicle did not have any issues the first 3 years. I did get 17-19 MPG on the highway. The cloth interior is better and longer lasting than the leather. The price of the Durango Sport was the best deal compared to the Ford Explorer Sport. I paid $21,000 for it new. Now, in Dec, 2005 The only issue I had was replacing the front wheel bearings. The clunking I heard was not the ball-joint issue I had received as a possible recall item. The Durango continues to have great overall reliability. I like the style better than the fatter Durango. Why get a hemi if it weighs 500 lbs more?
