An Expen$ive SUV that Lives Up to Expectations

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

Let's face it - a $50,000-List SUV should be comfortable, and powerful. My relatives and friends love riding in this. And I actually own the Citadel 8-cyl AWD (not the R/T -- but Edmund's did not list that configuration as an option for Review, for some reason). This is a vehicle you buy because you can afford it. It's not economical -- but it did live up to its stated MPG (I get 15 in the City, and 22 on the Highway when using Cruise Control). Reliability has been good, with no unexpected visits to a service department. The auto-dimming headlights work a little strangely when in bumper-to-bumper traffic -- often mistaking the car in front of me as a "dark sky" and momentarily flashing its lights. And the interior Climate Control has been a small struggle getting just right. But driving it has been comfortable, and fun! I love driving a V8!! And I can get in the thing! Ever notice how many compacts and mid-size cars are seemingly built to keep a grown adult OUT of the driver's seat? Oh, my aching back and neck when I try to fit inside those. The sandstone (goldy-beige) color with the extra chrome of the dressy Citadel package is often stunning, to me. I get far more compliments on this SUV than any other vehicle I've ever owned (except that used '65 Corvette that nearly put me in the Poor House in my 20s).

Daring Dodge Durango

Look for the used before yo go new. I have a family member that works for dodge and he said there is no change from the 2016 to 2017. Also minimal changes from 2014-2017. We have a 2014. Rides extremely nice, all the features take some time to get used to. It is a bit high to enter for my 3rd grader but she manages. Very ROOMY for my family (wife/daughter/self) And 2 80+lb German Shepherds. Very good with acceleration, handles like a sedan when you need it to get around obstacles. Love the xm radio and navigation features. Overall this is a SOLID vehicle that exceeded my expectation. If you have a friend, family member or Co-worker that owns why. Pick their brains and see if you can do a test drive. I was able to test drive 2012 RT, 2013-14 CITADELS, 2015 LIMITED. I was looking at the 2016 Mazda CX9, 2014-2015 Nissan Pathfinder, 2016 Honda Pilot as my other choices.

Owned this 2014 Durango for two years and for the most part I'm pretty pleased with it. I like the automatic downshifting of transmission on hill descension. Yet, I've accidentally hit the shifting paddles and downshifted on freeway causing the RPM's to nearly blow engine. It has a lot of power for a V6 which is one reason I chose it above any others. I love the engine space to work on it if ever needed. The interior space is decent for a car in this class. There have been a couple of small repairs. The driver window had a crack inside the tinting and the entire window needed replacing. A trim grommet came out, but was easy to replace. I'm a little worried about the sunroof rubber seal beginning to pull away. It's not significant enough yet to cause a leak, but I'm watching to see what it does over time. I'm curious as to how long it will take me to replace the battery located under the passenger seat when the time comes. I do wish that Dodge would make the dash and interior pieces a lighter color...perhaps a gray or beige to keep the heat out of the vehicle. One regret, with low gas prices I want a V8. When I test drove the Hemi I noticed that it was extremely powerful and had a lot of low end torque. It was only a $4k more than the V6 which takes a bit to get moving. Also, it is a little difficult to see out of compared to my older pilot, tahoe, grand cherokee, and sequoia. I think that generally cars have less visibility with lower profile designs that the government mandated for mpg.

Awesome SUV

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

Probably one of the best SUV's out there right now. I bought my wife a bare bones SXT with upgraded 8.4 touchscreen and heated seats/steering wheel. She loves it and won't let me drive everywhere anymore. Comes nicely loaded and doesn't feel cheap even in the base SXT trim. If fact you have to hunt for any options it is missing. No one can tell it isn't a Citadel model. The 3.6 has the perfect balance of power and economy. Honestly I don't think the hemi is needed unless you plan on towing with it. It has a useable 3rd row. It comes down the same assembly line as the Jeep Grand Cherokee that has won all the best quality build awards. Also, it is on the Consumer Reports Recommended list.
Bad Transmission

I traded in a 2012 Suburban for my 2014 Durango because of MPG. I bought it in April of 2014. When I hit about 19000 miles my car wouldn't allow me to go into gear. I took it to the dealership and they kept it for 2 days. Got it back and a week later it did the same thing. They kept it 3 days. Got it back and a week later same thing. I was going out of town and needed it so didn't take it back till I got back. It has now been there for an entire month. I had to get a new transmission in a new car. The dealership even told me that after the 2nd time, but Chrysler made them do stuff in order to try to fix it. I'm done with Dodge, back to a big SUV for me.
