Big man's dream

2017 Dodge Durango R/T 4dr SUV (5.7L 8cyl 8A)

Overall I have found the Dodge Durango R/T's a perfect fit. Original 2013 version had the V6 engine and I personally found it under powered. Within 6 months I traded it for a 2013 Durango R/T for the Hemi V8. Loved this car and had no problems at all over the 2 years I had it. The 2017 Durango R/T has been even better performance with the 8 speed transmission. Don't expect good town mileage, but highway mileage is in the mid 20 mpg.

My Red R/T Durango a Muscle Car SUV

If you are looking for a stylish race car but need an SUV, the Durango R/T is for you. With its dual tail pipe roaring exhaust which will get louder and more race car sounding in Sport Mode. The 360-365 HP, 5.7 liter Hemi engine is very responsive and sounds incredible with its roar in sport mode and is also a daily driver vehicle in eco mode. The Durango has incredible room for hauling stuff and family when needed and can be a muscle car also. The Durango is just the right size being not so huge and clumsy like some of the bigger SUVs, yet not so small like the compact ones. It is also a very exciting and fun vehicle to drive from the acceleration of the 5.7 liter Hemi, to the muscle car interior and styling. Give it a test drive!

Lemon, Lemon, LEMON! Bad Durango

I purchased my 2017 Dodge Durango 5 month ago and it has been in the shop 4 times for repairs. Getting ready to go in for the 5th repair. Very unreliable vehicle and definitely not worth the money. Chrysler is no help and dealership just keeps fixing it. Average MPG was reported to be 22 MPG, I get 18.5 MPG. At almost 3 miles per gallon less it averages out to be 15% less than advertised. **update-after this bad experience we dumped the lemon at an $8000 loss 😩😭
