Best SUV
Most incredible ride I have ever had from an SUV. Rides like a Cadillac. Handles great. Hemi has plenty of power, and fuel mileage is what you should expect. In general we get 16.5 mpg. But just highway driving at 70 mph with cruise we get 21 mpg. Thats pretty darn good. Also, it tows our 8800 lb boat fine as far as power is concerned, but we had to add air bags inside the coil springs to get more weight to the front axle for better handling. Dodge should offer an airbag suspension leveling system like some other manufacturers. With 23,000 miles now we have had no problems and no complaints.
Confussing models
I had an '05 SLT last year tradeed for a limited. The limited has a lot better quality upgrades such as the leather is softer, the door panels are a thin softer material but still way too much plastic, rides real smooth. The models are too confussing. My 05' SLTcame with leather, 4.7, hub caps, no overhead console for gas and mileage read out etc. All SLT's should come with mag wheels and overhead readouts. The limiteds should come with everything. My limited is missing tow, dvd, nav, hemi, chrome wheels. Why is it called a limited?

'05 Durango
We own a 2000 Durango and really like it. The 2005 is totally redesigned and so much improved. The ride, handling and performance is excellent. I would like to see a voltmeter on the instrument panel. The exterior takes some getting used to, but does grow on you. The best part is the looks do separate it from the rest. The fuel mileage is not great, but about what I expected.
Love My Hemi
This thing is fantastic, this is the first new vehicle I have ever purchased. Decided I would go all out with the Limited/Hemi/Nav Package. Power is fantastic, seats are comfortable, ride is unbeatable and this thing is super quiet inside. I can't believe I'm driving an SUV. Traded my 300M in on this and am very satisfied. Swore I would never buy another new vehicle due to depreciation but after falling in love with this truck I would not hesitate in buying another one! Highway mileage around 20-22 mpg, city mileage around 10-16 depending on how much I get into the throttle not bad for a 5000# truck.
GET ALL THE OPTIONS INCLUDING THE HEMI
We're previous Durango owners but the '05 Limited Hemi is a complete turnaround from the '03 we owned. It's comfortable, it's roomy, the DVD is a must have. The Navigation is awesome, the Sirius Satelite is great, and Dodge even pays for the 1st year! The Hemi is AWD. We have all of the options and don't regret it one bit. It rides smooth, handles great, looks sharp and WE LOVE IT! The gas mileage is ok being a previous V-8 owner. THe Hemi definetly adds a little more pizazz to the enitre package. It's fast and responsive on an open highway! We love it!! There are many more options, too many to name but all in all... WE HAVE THEM ALL!!! AND WE LOVE IT!!
