I bought my 2011 durango citadel v 8 AWD brand new in late 2011. Ive had it 4 years now and have about 25,000 miles on it. (My commute to work is short). My previous suv was the Toyota Sequoia limited, and before that we had a land rover discovery. The toyota was very reliable and i was afraid with the poor reputation of chrysler/dodge products, i would be visiting the dodge service center a lot with the durango. I got every option dodge offered on the durango citadel: heated and cooled seats, blind spot monitoring, sunroof, all wheel drive, heated steering wheel, in ceiling video system, Nav, and much more. I assumed with all these gadgets i would see the service department on a regular basis. I really loved the redesigned 2011 durango /grand cherokee styling on the exterior and also the interior of the 2011 durango and i was willing to take the risk. We needed the third row seat so that excluded he grand cherokee. I didnt know about a lot of the neat interior lighting until i owned it and drove it at night. I passed on a new Toyota Sequoia and the land rover lr4, and im really glad i did. This vehicle is awesome. With around 380 HP IT WILL FLY. It drives like a sports car but can carry 7 people to the ski resort with ease. Its great on long trips with the heated and cooled seats, and it is real quiet on the road. The hemi v8 with dual exhaust also has a great sound. It carries our kids with ease, they can watch movies while my wife and i can talk, and it can tow a trailer/boat with ease. This truck has been near flawless. Its had better reliability than my Toyota Sequoia. The durango has just been to the shop for oil changes, tire rotations, and regular maintenance. Everything has worked perfect since day 1. The vehicle has surprised me with the quality, even with all the things on it that could go wrong. Dodge got this suv right, and i assume the models from 2012 to 2105 are great choices also. The only dislike is the width of the factory roof luggage rack. On trips, we use a Thule luggage box and put bikes on the roof. Its tight. I wish the luggage bars were wider. I highly recommend this suv.

A joy to drive. Great acceleration for a 5K Lb SUV. Still under the initial 1K mile first service and the MPG has been just about double that of my 99 Dakota 4X4 standard cab with the 318. Very little push in the corners, and less body roll than I had prepared myself for. (test drove a crew as there were no R/Ts available at the time of purchase). Only 2 options that I ordered were Trailer&Tow and Entry Level NAV.

We (still) have a 2011 AWD Dodge Durango Crew. Its duty cycle is a daily commute switch off between mom one day for 10 miles total and our middle daughter the next day with a 60 mile round trip for college. Errands and entertainment ventures on the weekends. In the 8 years we've owned it we've done 3x 2000+ mile and 2x 1000+ mile road trip vacations with NO problems. WE LOVE THIS VEHICLE. It's built like a tank nut doesn't look like one, drives like a car, luxurious as a Benz, quick as a sedan and most reliable out of 10 vehicles we've owned over 30 years. We've had this Durango the longest. Dodge: DON'T CHANGE THE FORMULA!

Crew 5.7 l engine bought new. Has been a work horse for pulling boats and is our family vehicle. Cruises on highway and very smooth and relatively quiet even w the big engine and big wheels. Driver seat is great, and Im a big guy. My wife likes driving it too. In 2011 the technology was great like auto bright lights, adaptive cruise . Cargo space is awesome and turning radius exceptional. Smallest most powerful towing car I know w room for 7. Problems have been minimal for a dodge but I do most of my own repairs and avoid dealers.Issues: 8 years and 95000 miles It has needed a new waterpump, exhaust manifold bolts, wouldnt start so dealer put in a jumper wire on the fuel pump at the tipm, rear heater core clips rusted and failed, transfer case chain stretched and needed replacing, parking brake cable rusted and broke...mileage sucks as expected for huge v8 ... been a great car for me. My acura, honda and toyota have all been similar in their repair needs yet this thing is a beast towing! Pulls my ski boat around the mountains like there’s nothing behind it!

Just took Delivery this month, what a great buy!. Citidal with v-6, loaded with everything under the sun. Looked at BMW, Merc, Audi, and you just can't beat what you get for the money. Love the way the car handles, very nimble for such a large SUV. Blackberry pearl/Tan interior combo is just outstanding. Quality is every bit as good as the others I looked at. Getting 25 HWY...all this and it seats 7.
