It was for the wife, but...
Bought it for my wife as our family car in lieu of a van. I drive it more than her. I have a Crown Vic for my daily driver but the Durango is much more fun to drive. Love the power and sound. It hauls the 21 foot inboard better than my father's new Chevy truck. I knew gas mileage would stink, but what can you expect from an SUV? We owned a V6 Chevy Blazer which did just slightly better in gas mileage, but it was the worst vehicle I have ever owned, always in the shop. Family members with TrailBlazers and Envoy's love the Durango's looks and powers.
5 yr love affair with Durango
This was our second Durango. We enjoy fishing and in 96, finally bought a boat. Did a lot of research on SUV tow packages. It paid off. The 5.9 w/tow package is great. You have to remind yourself that a boat is in back of you! We're able to stay cool and tow without a worry. Looked forward to lousy back roads at remote fish camps. The 4WD is there when YOU WANT IT. Plus "the little things". Rear accessory plug. Use it for tailgate party or light up a boat ramp at night. Cup holders for American size drinks! Great tunes. Cool rims. Runs on reg gas. Seat warmers. Just the right size to give it a quick wash yourself. Just plain comfortable.

The Last of Real V-8s
This is a real SUV, not a "High Wagon" or "car based" unibody pretender. It has a real metal truck frame, a 5.9 Liter 360 cubic inch V8 not a 4.x or 3.x Liter. (Those CIDs belong in V6s for you youngsters that don't know any better.) The Durango rides smoothly, but let's you know if you hit a bump. It sucks down the gas like it's goin out of style. A perfect American SUV to drive out in CA or NY just to tick off the tree huggers. The Infinity sound system needed no aftermarket upgrades, and the fit and finish of the vehicle (built in NJ) was comprable to the imports.
2001 Dodge Durango
I've had nothing but good luck with my Durango. I get darn good mileage considing the size of the vehicle. Around 20 mpg average with the 4.7L V8. It's been extremely reliable as I have not had a problem in the 4 years and over 85,000 miles I have owned it. The only draw back is it likes to eat tires. I'm going through a set about every 25,.000 miles.

Not happy with the finish out of interior pieces. Lots of little plastic pieces broken easily and back storage hatch totally disintegrated
