'01 Durango with 4WD is my all-year get-around in MPLS. Bought with 145k, now at 154k. It's an older car and I don't know the service history, but it's running okay despite many small needs. 4WD works well, trans is still good, and it has to crank a bit to start but runs fine. Pretty reliable, only stranded me once when the alternator went. I did fix a few small things myself. At this age with some miles on her, she has a $400 problem about every six months. This is basically a rental fee for the car and I don't mind it too bad, the price was right. So far it's been tires (regular wear and tear), TPS (cheap fix you can DIY), Crank Position Sensor (replaced twice, don't know how it went bad in 6 months, also DIY but tricky), front brakes (not unusual for a heavy, heavy vehicle), alternator (plus wire fix on loom at the connector), and just last week a rear brake seal. Interior okay, it's aged pretty well. Couple rust spots (midwestern car, no big deal). Burns about a quart of oil every month. AC works okay, I don't really need it up here. Heat could be better, but is sufficient. Starts okay on MN winter mornings, let her warm up and she'll run fine.

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.

Best Vehicle I Ever Owned

With 36,000 miles now, I have never been stranded, it's never stalled and it gets 17 mpg. Easy to drive, great visibility and very, very safe. More affordable than Chevy and Ford and does all they do, and more, with the fold down 3rd seat. Cold front and back A/C, decent CD system and nice ergonomics inside. I would buy another one if the price was right.
