2014 Dodge Durango Citadel 4dr SUV AWD (3.6L 6cyl 8A)
16 of 18 people found this review helpful
My wife and I are still shocked we are driving a Durango. Wife traded her 2008 Infiniti QX56 which she loved but it had a lot of miles on it so it was time for something new/newer. Cross-shopped QX56, QX60, Pathfinder, Acadia, Enclave, MDX, Explorer. Stumbled upon Durango Citadel model and was shocked. The interior quality and tech options are amazing and the exterior is unique as well. Drives so nice and smooth. Ton of looks by people trying to figure out what it is as there are not many on the road. If they sold under Jeep as Extended Grand Cherokee they would sell a ton as it is built on same platform along with Mercedes GL SUV. Ok though as I like our "secret". Test drive one! ***UPDATE**** Just crossed 45,000 in our Durango and came back from an extended Thanksgiving trip to Chicago. Still loving the Durango. We are averaging around 19mpg with mostly city driving and a little highway driving. At 75mph on highway I can easily get 24mpg which I am very happy with. We have had only one issue with the Durango besides the typical re-flash recalls Chrysler had for the Uconnect. We had a small leak on rear AC line due to a faulty rubber grommet that held salt/road grime to eat away at it. Dealer fixed under warranty with no issue. Flawless otherwise. I don't complain about the re-flash recalls as they were done at oil change time and didn't affect the way the car drove. That is what we all get with technology. Transmission is silky smooth as well as the AWD. We take this north to our Michigan cabin in winter and it drives very well in deep snow. I am still amazed at how it handles and drives for a larger SUV. It drives so much smaller and reacts instantly to driver steering input and corners well for its size. I have no complaints about the vehicle although I do wish the Citadel picked up some smaller adds that the Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland receives such as: Auto dimming passenger mirror, folding mirrors, puddle lights, leather dash and upper panels. It would be nice if they could bump the HP some on the Pentastar V6 for a little better acceleration, but it is fine as is. We loved the Durango so much that I just purchased an off-lease 14' Jeep GC Overland for myself. My wife primarily drives the Durango. Driving both I will say the Durango feels more planted and firmer vs. the Overland which I prefer. If you are looking for a three-row SUV I would highly recommend driving one to consider. No squeaks or rattles either as it seems very well put together.

2014 Dodge Durango R/T 4dr SUV AWD (5.7L 8cyl 8A)

I recently bought a 2014 Dodge Durango R/T. Have only put about 500 miles on it, but I thought I would share some impressions and minor gripes. Overall, I love this car and am very happy with it. I looked at the Highlander, Traverse, and to a lesser extent the Pilot, Pathfinder, Explorer, Acadia, Santa Fe, and Mazda CX9. Things that mattered to me were 3d row seating and towing, since I would like to get (but have not yet gotten) a boat. ;-) The Durango is far and away the class leader w/ tow capacity. *UPDATE @ 55,000 MILES* I still love this vehicle every but as much as the day I bought it. This summer, I towed a camper trailer that probably weighed 6000lbs+ from Missouri to Utah and back. The Durango R/T hardly broke a sweat. Even with two kids, the interior (black leather) has held up so well some people still ask me if the car is new. I continue to love the UConnect interface, dashboard controls, and EVIC. I did get a third-party seat ventilator because I didn't have the A/C seat option. With a dark vehicle w/ black leather interior, I found that to be kind of essential in the summer months. This guy does drink gas, though. I can get 22/23 mpg on the highway on long hauls in eco mode, but with city driving (including stops, etc.) I am probably getting only 12/13. 16mpg or so might be my overall mix. Not great, but totally worth it for the power.

2014 Dodge Durango Limited 4dr SUV AWD (3.6L 6cyl 8A)

I've had this Durango Limited AWD model for 2 months and 3000 miles. I compared to Highlander, Pathfinder, and Acadia, but $6500 in incentives lured me to the Durango. Love the styling of the back of the SUV, not so crazy about the usual Dodge look of the front. Have had issues with the Tire Pressure Monitoring system that took 3 trips to the dealership to resolve (software). Overall MPG is 24, which is great for a car this size. Has a smooth but firm ride. The electronic interfaces in the car are great. Lots of nice interior lighting touches. Beware CD player is an option and is placed in the center console, not the dash. The more I drive it, the more I like it. Just hope it's reliable.
Pleasantly surprised

I bought this vehicle for my wife solely for the comfortable seats. Out of all the vehicles we tried out the Durango was the most configurable by far. We now have 22k miles on this car and I still can't believe how good it drives. There has only been 1 issue and that was a loose bolt on the steering shaft that caused some play in the steering. Quickly about me, I'm a little pickier than most when it comes to vehicle quirks. I've done all the oil changes myself on this car to this point and do like the unique filters this engine uses. This is easily one of the best vehicles I've ever driven. I'd put it in the realm of an Audi or the new Cadillac though not as nice of an interior obviously
High Maintenance

Lots of recalls, still don't have the airbag fixed. Headlights burn out about every 6 months. Must use full synthetic oil or it will start smoking. Rear main seal started leaking at 100,000 miles. Had the transmission serviced at 98,000 miles, come to find out it is a Merc Benz transmission and to replace the filter, the pan and filter and seal is all one unit. $$$$$ Then comes the special transmission fluid $$$$$ It cost me over $300.00. Now 3 months later the transmission planetary gears stipped out and there is no new parts on the market yet to rebuild, and $$$$$ for a brand new one. I love this vehicle but it is a money pit. Get rid of it before 100,000.
