2016 Citadel for a family of 5, ten months down

2016 Dodge Durango Citadel 4dr SUV (3.6L 6cyl 8A)

The Good: This car is built on the same plat form as the Jeep Grand Cherokee and the Mercedes-Benz SUVs. It is a solid ride, very good road feel, quiet, smooth, good visibility, and MPG is probably around 25 hwy and 20 around town. To say others get better MPG not accurate. The back seat is decent for an adult so don't compare it to a Highlander, Pathfinder, Pilot, Explorer, 2017 Acadia, or a CX-9. Those SUVs don't allow for an adult in the back and also don't have enough in the very back to place a stroller with the 3rd seat up, you do in the Durango (tight but you can do it). The Citadel is not a luxury SUV but it is extremely close. Ventilated seats are a very nice touch and all the material is soft touch and feels really nice. Never thought the heated steering wheel would be so nice. The infotainment system is easy to use and offers you everything I can think of. One touch entry is awesome. Blind spot monitoring in side mirrors as well as when backing up is very nice. Love the captain chairs in the 2nd row, it is one of the best features for a family. The Stereo is great, our boy in the back made us turn the bass all the way down. the 20' rims and great grill set the car apart from the other boring cookie cutter suvs out there. The back race track lights are cool but a little extreme. The Bad: We traded in our 2014 GMC Acadia and for the Durango and the Acadia turned out to be the perfect size and it had a little better acceleration. The Durango can only fit two in the 3rd row, it is more narrow then we were use to so it is just a little tighter all around. The Durango is really a great car and considering that is bigger then most other 3 row SUVs out there so it is a good price. Just look at a Yukon or a Tahoe and then tell me if you think it is over priced.

I previously owned a 2003 Tahoe Z71 totally loaded and I loved it. I just retired the vehicle with 245 thousand miles on it and it was still a mule. For six years my middle son used this as his primary vehicle for high school and college. Oh what stories I would hear if the vehicle could talk. Of course, I wanted another Tahoe until I went to the dealer and went into shock at the price. A friend told me to look at the Durango. I had owned Jeeps before and liked them a lot but needed the third row. Upon further investigation I found out this is a Jeep with the third row as its made on the same platform since the last four years. I needed the Hemi to tow boats and snowmobiles and wow, how cool a vehicle. And it has far superior gas mileage for the big powerful V-8 paired with the new Fiat 8 speed transmission. I wound up with the Citadel trim level and its plenty posh yet durable enough to last. I can't see having any regrets as I scoot around in this very peppy SUV. Brand loyalty can be a good thing but sometimes it pays to switch and big time in this case!

So I've made the switch from a Ford Escape (and still own a Taurus X, plus have had numerous other Fords) to my Dodge Durango. We needed a bigger more reliable vehicle to fit our expanded family (now 3 children!) so we began researching online the options. We checked safety, size, price, reliability, ratings before even test driving. We had it narrowed down to 4 options before test driving. Then after driving a Ford Explorer and then the Durango, I was in love with the Durango. So much more room! It could fit our sons gigantic car seat rear facing no problem! I thought the Durango seemed to actually handle better. We were able to get a better price on it with more options than the Explorer. We purchased one with heated seats front and back, heated steering wheel, push button and remote start, back up camera and one-touch unlock/lock from outside (which is one of my favorite features!). Now after almost 9 months, still love it! We've used it on some trips already and the gas mileage was 26 mpg. I was impressed! Haven't regretted buying this SUV once. I call it my baby and still try to wash it regularly! ;) *Update-owned for over a year and still love this vehicle! Still love driving it and it does great in winter weather, which we had plenty during this winter.Still recommend my Durango! *3.5 year update. Still living my Durango. Still baby it. It has a little over 100,000 miles and we have used it on plenty of long distance trips. It is definitely my favorite vehicle I have ever owned!

This is probably one of the best purchases I have made. I was at first a little bit apprehensive as there are many competitors in this area however, this Dodge Durango blows all of them out of the water. I have a second row bench in my RT and it goes from family wagon and grocery getter to surprising the guy trying to race me in his fancy F-150 or Ram.

I had this for a week, while my car was in the shop. I liked many aspects of this, and many I did not. I'll try to be fair about both sides. The goods are: The look is awesome, Dodge has it going on. From the retro squared boxy design, to the LED running lights, to the rear lights on the tailgate, to the height, it is all super good. The car is heavy, and feels like it is a tank, so you feel confident about driving and not feeling like you will get blown around in the wind. The leather seats are super sweet, but getting in and out of them requires patience, and some pain. The equipment level is good for the price. The price is $42K, but for what you get, in today's market, is about average, or slightly above average. The headlights and driving lights on together give you a great view. The bads are: This thing does not want to stop....it is a beast and will require some pedal effort to get it to stop. The getting in and out will hurt you as the large plastic pieces on the sides of the seat snag you and it hurts....it is too big to sit over or down into...so you have to climb in and as you do, you will get hurt. Gas mileage was in the 14-15 range. The 3rd row seats are for kids...but nice to have. The shifting at times is horrendous, banging around like it is hunting for a good gear.....and the auto start/stop thing is nothing but annoying for the little bit of gas you might have saved. The interior lights are not LED - which is crazy because on our Dodge Journey SXT plus, they were all LED's inside. For $42K, you have to have at least what the Journey is offering, right? Not in this case. The front bumper rides very low to the ground and wants to scrape all the curbs as you pull into a parking spot. It was a great ride, but I was happy to turn it back in at the end of a week. I had put about 500 miles on it and I was not feeling like I wanted to go buy one. You should rent for a week before buying to see that it is worth the steep price for what you get. I loved the storage on this thing, but you might realize you don't need anything this big and expensive.
