Biggest mistake!

We bought our Dodge Durango on 8/4/07. We've had problems with it slipping out of reverse. A piece of interior trim between the windshield and the driver's door has come loose and is hanging. A piece was also missing out of the interior tail gate door. We've made one payment and it's already been in the shop more than all our other vehicles combined. Seriously thinking of trading it in or starting the "lemon" process.

Drove 4000 miles to Florida and back to home. Comfort and drivability was great. GPS system was excellent. Carried luggage with room to spare for 2 month stay which included golf clubs and coolers. Service at Scotia Motors has been excellent. This is 3rd new dodge vehicle that we have purchased from this dealership.

2008 Durango - Great Truck

What a great vehicle. This truck drives and handles like a luxury car and is quiet. Almost 19 MPG on the HWY isn't too bad either. Not sure why I don't see these advertised. Gives me plenty of room to travel with a family of 4 and large dog.

Great SUV, Hemi MDS works great, avg. around 17 mpg highway driving with cruise set at 55. Had an 2001 Durango SLT, traded it for 2006 Jeep Liberty, was not happy with Jeep, kept it 2 years. With 0% for 72 months and 2000.00 rebate, could not pass up the Durango. Driving Jeep made me miss the ride of a larger SUV.

I previously owned an 06 SLT with the 4.7. I went and checked out the 08s and new that I had to have one. Next day traded in the 06 for the new one. The new SLT with the Hemi is freakin sweet. When you put the hammer down you know that there is enough power for anything and everything that you could ever need. There is plenty of room and the extra options that you can get make it amazing.

08 Durango

I traded my Avalanche and got a 2008 Durango. So far great SUV, very comfortable and alot of room for the kids. Easy to drive, and the rear AC is the best I've had in any vehilce. I'm averaging alittle over 17mpg's in the city. Took a long trip and averaged 19.8mpg's. Only thing that's concering is the traction and control in the rain, could be the tires but more likely because the vehilce is up higher then most and so seems to effect the control. Overall I would recommend this SUV in anyone.

I bought my 2008 Dodge Durango 4.7L SLT when it had 11,000 miles. I have maintained it to the "letter of the Book". I upgraded the suspension to pull a 29 ft RV. It pulls like a dream!! I took a trip to the NW and I went up several mountains and it did not bog down at all! This is the 2nd durango I have owned...I wont buy anything else! BTW,,,I just hit 167,000 with minimal repairs.

We have had our Durango for almost three years now. We bought it for the Hemi and it's towing capacity. We have three kids and need the third row seat as well. Ball joints needed replacing at 45K miles, non- greasable. I would have expected a little more mileage.

I love this SUV. Had a 2004 Denali and for the price its as good or better. Same features and at $15000 lower price. Can't be telling this but Hemi is the kicker.

This 2007 Durango is great mechanically speaking. The rust holes are horrible. The rust started in 2012. Once we noticed the rust, it was all the way through. Multiple rust holes. This vehicle currently has 165,000 miles.
