Durango SLT Hemi
Analyzed the difference in mileage between the Durango Hemi 2WD vs. the Tribute 2WD we owned. Based on our actual experience, over a 2000 mile trip at $3.00 per gallon, we would pay approximately $35.00 more to drive the Durango. More room, more power, improved interior services such as third row seating and rear heat/ac controls. Bang for buck, the Durango is larger, quieter, stronger, more powerful. Only a slight increase in insurance coverage ($5.00/mo.) over the Tribute. $390 more for fuel on an annual basis. I think it's worth the price for the increased safety, comfort and carrying capacity. Point of clarification, we own the 2005 Durango SLT 2WD with the Hemi engine. Thanks.
Durango, Fuelish Fun
I love this vehicle, fun to drive,handles and drives like no other truck, tight and responsive, and the ride is oh so smooth. Let's not forget that Hemi it,s a gotta have, The interior a little plain could use more eh..style? but its nicely put together and very functional. Exterior nice all around, you learn to love the pinched snout (that's where the Hemi is) 2007 will bring a new nose. Now it's Achille's heel. Gas mileage window sticker 13 city 18 hwy. My avg 12.2 cty 21 hwy now i gotta say the right foot is a little Hemi happy. In these $3.00 bucks plus fuel days I sometimes yearn for a car again. But, it is a truck, and it sucks fuel like one. would I recommend it ? Yes

Horrific experience
My 2006 Dodge Durango stalled out while driving after the oil light and then the engine light came on three minutes later I'm stranded in traffic unable to start my vehicle again as it turns out my oil pressure sending unit was faulty causing my PCM to shut down and disable my engine from restarting which cause me to be involved in a rear end collision suffering from multiple head injuries. After reporting this to FCA they said that because the service shop had repaired my vehicle prior to my complaint there is nothing they can do to prove that they were liable for this insidant even though they have a poor design by engineering a vehicle to shut down and disable it from restarting in the event that your PCM thinks you have no oil in your engine so you don't ruin your engine it shuts it down. I could have been killed. I've been off work for a year due to my injuries and now I have a vehicle that I'm never gonna be able to drive again for fear that it will shut down again but Chrysler won't help me or address the issue. If my vehicle would not have shut down in traffic by design I would not have been injured in this accident. As I love my Durango , bought it brand new in 2006 for $45k and took very good maintenance care with it hoping it would last me much longer then it did , I am now out a vehicle and have to purchase another all because some engineer designed something to keep you from ruining your cars engine now I have to spend the rest of my life with post traumatic concussion syndrome. Thank you Chrysler all because there haven't been 1000 other people complain about the same thing and I had to have my vehicle repaired in order to get it into the body shop , they can't help me.

This is considered an SUV?
Well in December of 2010, my family got this car. at first it was great ... but then the horrid hard plastics started breaking on the seat belt covers and on the seat belt buckle itself the buckle in the third row is completely useless! the hard plastics are also bad they just look tacky. the seats in the second row are not comfortable for longer than an hour. the leg room in the second row is bad... really bad my son who is 5'4 complains! the car has a problem shifting and gets valves clogged all the time! our family hates this... thing! we are buying a 2007 Lexus GX 470 in a month hope its better!!
Best Truck I've ever owned!
This truck is great. I just bought it about a month ago. It is has the Hemi engine which is the best preforming truck I have ever driven. It can tow like hell and it is so comfortable I wouldn't even know I am towing anything. If you are in the market for an suv This is a great option.
