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!!

I traded in my 2002 Mercedes-Benz S500 to get a truck. I have to say that I'm not 100% happy but I'm also not disappointed. I have to say the Durango is fun to drive and the interior quality is better than good. The six in dash CD player and steering wheel control are easy to use and the ride is like a car. I give this one a 9 out of 10 in the truck category. The third row seat is also well suited, and the quality of the leather is also well above average.
Overall Great Car

The Plastic covers always fall off and snap. But this car is Awesome. When you drive, It's so smooth, But the Roar of the car is so GREAT. you just have the feeling of Driving some tank, But it's just an SUV. The handling is good, Braking is pretty Good.
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.
Love mine! (HEMI)

2006 SLT HEMI Gunmetal gray, I bought this vehicle used with around 30.000 miles on it and can't get over how fantastic it is, The original purchaser ordered many upgrades like leather etc. It's fast, has great mileage and it handles better than any SUV I've owned and I've owned them all, It is by far THE best bargain in the class. I do feel the interior is kind of "low- tech" but still looks good and classy.

I have had my new '06 Durango for three weeks now and love it. It is quiet like a limosine until you step on the gas and feel the incredible power of the Hemi. The interior is fantasitic. Dash is superb! Seats are really comfortable and power driver's seat standard. Yes! I bought this one without running boards and now see that I will have to order some. It's a long way up! The gas mileage is lower than expected, but the power will be great for pulling my motorcycle and trailer to TX every winter. The looks are OK. Haven't got used to the front end yet but everything else makes it great! Front will grow on me. Crawled under and had a look. Now that is built tough, but rides great!
Excellent Vehicle

We bought this car used as it came off of a lease. It was in excellent condition, except for the head-phones (for the DVD player) which were broken. It is perfect for our family of 3 little children. My wife loves the navigation system, and the kids like the DVD Player. We bought an SUV because the winters in Canada are pretty severe. I can say that this car has handled superbly in the snow. I now do NOT get stuck getting in and out of the driveway like I used to with my old car. This car is quieter than my 1990 Lexus LS 400, and seems to get better gas mileage, and is more comfortable too. There is absolutely no wind noise what-so-ever while driving. It's really a fabulous SUV.
