Revisit to the brand

We are loyal Jeep owners and love them. However, since Jeep doesn't offer a bigger SUV than the Grand Cherokee (at the moment) we looked at every third row crossover on the market. After driving the Telluride, Atlas, Pilot, Traverse, Ascent, Pathfinder, and Highlander we were frustrated because non of those vehicles really made us fall in love enough to purchase them. We decided to revisit the Durango and we were pleasantly surprised with the face lift of the 2019 models, the ride quality, and the towing capability. We were looking at the V6 GT but ended up with the R/T with the hemi. Captains chairs are the key feature that brought us back to the Durango. I am happy we didn't overlook this vehicle. It's beautiful.

It doesn't get any better than my Durango R/T.

My 2nd Tahoe was about done after 184K miles. before that I had 2 Blazers, 2 Grand Cherokees, and a Land Rover. So I decided being 60 this would be my last car, I had good luck with the Jeeps and my son had a beautiful 2018 SRT Durango so I went back to Dodge, but I got a Journey and that was a mistake. It was a great little car, but having built hot rods and being a car guy, i was wrong thinking I was ready to settle down and wanted to get something sporty, not an old mans car, so after 7 months and 5600 miles, I traded the Journey at the dealer ship my family has used for years, and where i had bought it and got a Durango R/T and am so very glad I did. it is the best and most enjoyable car to drive I have ever owned. Fun to drive, handles great, comfortable, fast, sporty, tons of room and just plain sexy. I am constantly getting comments from strangers and friends alike on it, more compliments than hot rods I had built. I cannot recommend it enough, if you want something fun to drive, go test drive one and you will be sold...

Love the outside look with the viper inspired hood, satin rims and doble tip exhaust. Comfort is great, I am 5’8” and fit comfortably in the 3rd row. Love the sound of the engine and how it really move this SUV beast. Best of all is that even-though you have the space it does not feel like a huge boat in the road. Proud owner here!....ohhh, and I also have a Grand Cherokee limited.

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.

Dodge Durango RT - Love It

SpringfieldGuy, 03/24/2020
2019 Dodge Durango R/T 4dr SUV AWD (5.7L 8cyl 8A)
5 of 5 people found this review helpful

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.

2019 Durango rt

3 of 3 people found this review helpful

Bought the blacktop package rt for the looks and the power. The rt is surprisingly quick for how big it is and even more surprising for how well it handles. Very comfortable and if you want can sound crazy aggressive depending on how you drive. Only con so far is the gas mileage when I drive aggressively which is expected with the hemi engine. If considering an SUV definitely give this one a test drive, the driving experience along with the infotainment system, and sound system is a plus as well. No problems so far as I was skeptical buying, dodge vehicles aren't known for there reliability. Long story short, this thing with the 5.7 hemi picks up well, handles surprisingly well and sounds great when you want it to, definitely recommend test driving if you're in the market for an SUV.

First I want to disclaim that this is my third Durango I purchased within last 7 years First one was 2014 limited V8 Second was 2016 RT And this my third one 2019 RT I’ll try to be unbiased, the car is one of a kind intern of driving feel and fun on 7 seats category, yes heavy but monster of the highway. Extreme handling on corners that rare to find in peers. Very responsive engine and above that it seats 7. Seats very comfortable even better than my X5 2019. Cons: if you don’t take care of your feet on gas paddle they fuel consumption likely to catch high borders, you can mitigate this by keep calm and avoid heavy press, but if your gas is your highest priority then Durango is not your choice.

We picked out our Dodge Durango RT to fix 3 boys, my wife and myself. We chose the 6 passenger model so the boys could step to the 3rd row. This has worked out great. Amazingly the 5.7 Hemi gets us over 20 miles to the gallon (when my wife drives it), yet when I do get to drive the Sport Mode makes this full size SUV accelerate and drive more like a sports car. All around very good SUV and extremely functional for a 5 member family that is active with sports.

I have a 2019 RT ,its grey with red leather interior, just beautiful. I had a 2011 durango crew traded that in for a 2014 limited just got in a 2019 RT. The Gas mileage gave a shock . I was getting over 440 miles to a tank with the V6 engine no where close to that with the V8 hemi. Also the ride is a lot rougher with the RT you need a stiffer suspension I get it but those are my only cons with the vehicle. I have been driving a Durango since 2011 and I just love them the Rt is fun to drive it looks great and offer up tons of power on demand. The sport button is another option for more power.

So far so good..knock on wood..so far only notice a clicking sound in front when you do a cold start but than stops after a min or so. Hard to explain but On a turn going about 20 to 30 mph back end tends to jump just before it straightens out. Have about 1300 miles give or take.. leased it for 3 years in January now June.. hopefully no major problems until my lease is up..Fingers crossed..waiting for some snow nothing this year will C for 2020 how it handles in 4 inches or more in snow!!

I like this vehicle but have noticed some issues and currently it has about 31k miles. The touchscreen has issues sometimes and doesn’t turn on when I start the car or it has randomly cut out and then come back while driving. Guessing it’s loose wiring. Biggest issue was coolant leak. Refilled it, 2 days later it was completely empty. The way one of the hoses was clamped caused it to rub radiator hose with any engine movement so they had to take out the engine just to replace it.

Just got my Durango a few days ago and I love the Graphite color exterior. It’s an RT, so, I don’t have a problem getting where I need to go! Usually I’ve driven Chargers, but due to the increase in grandkids, I needed a bit more room for my precious cargo. This SUV is just pure eye candy! I one happy grandma💕

Been really pleased with my Durango. Lots of room, handles great, surprisingly good mileage and well equipped. Bought it used with 10k miles, just turned 43k. Very economical compared to a Tahoe or other full sized suv. Will probably replace it with another one in a couple of years.

The Durango has a beautiful screen good technology and the fine Hemi engine. Many of the 2019 Durango’s have the 3.6 engine which for such a large suv must be a let down. The suv gives a rather hemmed in feeling and interiors have dingy black headliners and still some cheap plastics. There is a lean when going into curves and even with the Hemi has a somewhat clumsy feel to it. It is not a well balanced vehicle and has very poor resale. I’d advise driving some of the foreign suvs which handle much better and are less tiring to drive!

I bought a new 2019 Dodge Durango SXT. I had no problems with power. My one trip on the Alaskan highway from Anchorage to Kenai was a steady 25 MPG. Not bad. The only problem was the dealer who sold it to me said it would tow 6200 lbs. After reading the manual, I found the ONLY Durango's that tow that much are the ones that come with the tow package. After talking to the dealer, they bought mine back at a bit of a loss to me, and ordered the one with the tow package. I did tow a 6000 lb trailer to Seward through mountains and such without a tow package, and it did just fine. No problems going through the mountains. I loved the first one. Can't wait to get the one I ordered as I have a 4100 lb (dry) RV to tow. I'm sure it will do just fine.

I have had few suv brands but the Durango R/T is the best of them all and I did my own research as to what to expect in terms of reliability and did notice most people had issues with their water pump and still decided to get it anyways and that has been one of the best experiences of my life.A lot of people are scared with the gas mileage but I can tell you if you drive like I do mostly using my cruise control you will have one of the best gas mileage out there.The HEMI engine is responsive,quick and more room for my family hope it helps.
