2018 Dodge Durango R/T 4dr SUV AWD (5.7L 8cyl 8A)
5 of 6 people found this review helpful

The R/T is a performance SUV. Interior leather finish is excellent. The dual exhaust has a throaty sound that my wife and I both loved. The 8 speed transmission is the smoothest shifting automatic transmission I have ever experienced. We don't have small children so it was mainly my wife and I driving, the backseat seems roomy enough for average adults.

2018 Dodge Durango SXT 4dr SUV AWD (3.6L 6cyl 8A)
3 of 3 people found this review helpful

Leased a 2018 Durango SXT Plus in January 2019 - will buy out at end of lease as I like the vehicle a lot. V6 AWD with 3rd row, tow package, and blacktop package. Tows boat and trailers very well (~2500lbs) - don't really notice. Just wish you could keep it out of 8th gear to keep it from hunting without having to shift "manually" on hills. Rear seatbelt is a bit tough to get to latch (will get repaired under warranty) and front visibility is a problem in that the rearview mirror is low and can "hide" vehicles to your right at 4-way stops. Gets gas mileage similar to our 2018 Grand Caravan but power (295hp) is noticeably better and way more fun to drive. AWD is really nice in winter. Would definitely recommend - what other vehicle can you get in for the price and seat capacity of a minivan (SXT package, that is) but have 6,200lb tow capacity (or for bump in price get the 8,700 if V8 which outclasses full frame SUVs like Tahoe and Suburban)?

Had issues since I bought it 3 weeks ago. It has been in the dealership twice to have the same repairs fixed since they just tried to hide the paint touch ups done by the dealership. And then broke a piece while installing a new taillight. The last problem was the Uconnect radio rebooting and all the features not being able to be controlled. If I had a choice to return it and get another vehicle I would if I wouldn’t be taking such a loss in value. I have 1300 miles on it and the value went from $57k at purchasing and was quoted just $34k to trade it in! That’s a large depreciation with just 1000 miles that I personally put on the vehicle since I bought it with 383 miles

Coming from a sports car to buying an R/T has been really amazing so far. Drives like a sports car, but it's an SUV!!!! Best of both worlds. Highly
