Dodge Durango RT - Love It

I own a black 2019 Dodge Durango RT. I’ve had it 10 months and have driven it 17,500 miles. I love this vehicle. It is the third Durango I've owned. I had a 2011 Crew with V6, a 2011 Citadel with V8, and now the RT with V8. For me, it is the perfect size SUV. It has plenty of legroom in all three rows but its length fits nicely in my garage. I always have the third seat down to carry various work materials. The storage area behind the second row is about the same horizontal dimensions as the larger Ford Explorer. Many of the higher-price Euro models of similar exterior size can’t match its cargo area. The frame was developed when Chrysler/Dodge was owned by Mercedes-Benz and all three of my Durangos have been completely squeak and rattle-free. The V8 with 8-speed tranny gives it quick acceleration for an SUV. It has an electronic stick transmission in the console, which returned in 2018 after the bewildering change to a rotary shift knob in 2014. Dodge finally listened to its customer base and got rid of it. The exhaust rumble sounds great when accelerating but is quiet at cruising speed. It is hard to drive the RT slow! Mileage isn’t great, which was no surprise, but the power of this vehicle and its looks are worth it. If it dropped about 300 pounds, it would lower the 0-60 time and increase mileage significantly. I get around 20-21 mpg on interstate driving and about 17.5 mpg overall. The RT sport suspension is stiffer than my Citadel but it handles bumpy pavement pretty well, and allows cornering at much higher speeds than the Citadel. The interior ergonomics work well. The 8” touchscreen radio/Navigation system is pretty intuitive to learn and use. One of the best in the industry. I added an aftermarket CD-player because the OEM version left little room for console storage. The Harman/Kardon sound system is nice. I’ve grown to love the heated steering wheel and adaptive cruise control and wouldn’t do without them on future vehicles. The leather seats have heating and cooling; the second-row seats are heated. In my opinion, it’s best looking SUV on the market. The short front overhang, long wheelbase, and larger rear overhang (due to 3rd row seat) give it the perfect profile proportions. I have the satin carbon 5-spoke wheels (standard on the RT), which add to the beauty of the RT styling. I plan to keep this vehicle for awhile because of its functionality, speed and looks.

Love my new Durango

Having had 2 back surgeries the Durango seats won over the Chevy Traverse and Ford Explorer seats. I find the V6 paired with the 8 speed tranny has plenty of performance, that is, if you are not trying to make a full sized SUV crossover into a sports car. Also the rear drive gives it a nice towing capacity of 6200 pounds. Durango has a unibody construction with a car oriented 4 wheel independent suspension with no truck like rear leaf springs. I persoanally believe you cannot beat the Durango for the money. I got the new 2019 model SXT for 26,500 out the door. Drives more like a car than a truck. If you are going for great gas milage, get a Prius. I have been a Ford owner for over 20 years so this was a stretch for me to try a Dodge product...glad I did.

60 days and no answer.

Glitch in the touchscreen/radio where it shuts down and restarts randomly and repeatedly. This also means you can't have a hands free phone call as it drops the call when the system restarts. Started on the drive home but here I am 60 days later and no repair date in sight. The dealership just keeps telling me that all the 2018's have this issue and it will be fixed next week but next week still hasn't come. I know new products can have issues but not getting the truth has me frustrated and unhappy with this purchase. If I could get my money back I would return the vehicle and not buy from this dealer nor Dodge again.
