Durango R/T

Great family SUV/Musclecar. I have enjoyed my 3 years with my Durango RT lease. I came from an Audi S4 and needed a little more room for my growing family. Having full time all wheel drive and snow tires was great for winter trips up to our ski house. My only wish was that the front seats were a little more comfortable, but other than that, I have fully enjoyed my time with the Durango. Other than oil change, tire rotations, I had no service issues with the car whatsoever.

It WAS a good vehicle

I loved this vehicle when I first bought it used in 2020. It was 3 years old. It's now 6 years old and while it's been great with my 2 kids and 3 dogs for size, it's blown a head gasket. Our local mechanic said he's been seeing this a lot in this engine and to check the power train warranty. It's 5 years or 60K miles. This is 6 years old and at 80K miles I'm out $4400 to fix this. The market is INSANE right now with vehicle purchases but I'm going to start the search for a new one because of this is going to start breaking at 6 years old even with all the daily maintenance requirements I'm all set owning another Durango. I still owe a decent chunk of change on this as well and fearing how much more is going to start breaking on me. Beware of your warranty when purchasing this.

Just bought it yesterday. We love it. Best riding vehicle I have ever had. My first car was a 1978 Chevy impala v8 and have been wanting to get back into a 8v engine. To me v8 are the only way to go. Love the front ventilated leather seats. Still reading the owners Manual to see all the great features it has In it. We have the tow package and it can tow about 7,500 pounds. The seats are extremely comfortable. Good sounding auto system. It should last 250,000 to 300,00 miles. Love the powerful hemi v8 engine. I give it 5 stars.

I had a '98 for 12 years and regretted selling it and buying a chevy. I have the R/T with the 8 speed and 5.7 4-6-8 you can get 29 mpg if you keep the cruise on 55-60 traveling from Tampa to Jacksonville on Hwy 301. Just remember it take 89 octane!

Always love my Durango!

I've always loved my old 2000 Durango and it was time to purchase a new one. After reviewing all mid-size SUVs I stayed with the Durango. It takes a little getting used to all the new technology but this is a lot of fun! I've read reviews due to the weight of the Durango acceleration was not that of other SUVs but I have not noticed and have no concerns. The comfort and spacious seats will not disappoint. Highly recommend!
