Dodge Durango for Sale

Edmunds' Expert Review

by the Edmunds Experts

Pros

Strong V8 engines, agile handling, excellent ride quality, capable off-road, lots of cargo capacity, simple controls.

Cons

Lousy mileage, sloppy fit and finish, needs more second-row legroom and storage, no stability control or parking sensors.

What’s new

Two trim levels have been added -- SXT and SLT Adventurer. The SXT features roof rails, running boards and side moldings. The Adventurer includes a Thule roof rack, side steps, slush mats, cargo liner and organizer and unique wheels. Cloth heated seats are standard on all models this year (except the Limited, which sticks with leather heated seats). A full-screen navigation system is newly available.

Edmunds says

With its tough-truck styling, available Hemi V8 and roomy interior, the Durango offers an appealing combination of power, comfort and utility. If you don't mind its big thirst at the pump, it's a great value.

2005 Dodge Durango SLT Rwd 4dr SUV (3.7L 6cyl 4A)

Great vehicle! We have put 220,000 miles on this SUV and been back and forth across this country many times. It has performed flawlessly. We have done Nothing to the engine other than the exhaust manifold came loose from the engine. Great comfort and realiability! Lots of space for cargo. We are a traveling band and hauling sound equipment all over was hard on this truck but she just …

Great family & work vehicle!

2005 Dodge Durango Limited Rwd 4dr SUV (4.7L 8cyl 5A)

Great vehicle for road trips with family, fun around town, or as an everyday driver. I use it for work and average around 1k miles a week. The selling points on the Durango are ride quality and interior features. It has a super smooth ride with great handling for a vehicle it's size. It also has several nice bells and whistles that Dodge puts into it's higher end vehicles (ipod …

2005 Dodge Durango ST 4WD 4dr SUV (4.7L 8cyl 5A)

Nice looking SUV but we are having Airconditioning problems and Chyrsler nor the dealing can fix it. If you live in Alaska your okay but if you need air get some other SUV.

Great SUV no problems at all.

2005 Dodge Durango ST 4WD 4dr SUV (4.7L 8cyl 5A)

I have had the Durango a little over 4 years. I have not had one single reason to bring it to the shop other than routine oil changes and the 60,000 mile service which I had done by my mechanic not the local Dodge dealer as Landers McCarty in Huntsville is totally dishonest. The options listed the ST with the 4.7 V8 as a 4x4 although mine is just rear wheel drive but they did not have …
