The rumble of the V8!
It's an excellent SUV . I got the fully loaded R/T, with a hefty MSRP (don't let the MSRP fool you, as many say, it's a suggestion not the actual sales price). For how old this platform is, it has aged well. There are pros and cons to owning an older architecture SUV in 2020; Pros: - It has a legit V8 engine. The sound and the performance makes you want to hit full throttle all the time. - No rattles, none whatsoever. I'm very sensitive when it comes to fantom noises. - If driven calmly, it gets about 25 mpg on highway. No one drives this monster calmly. - While the second row seats don't slide, all rows have adequate space by default. - Standard Alpine sound system is way better than many other "brand name" sound systems I have owned on my previous cars. - While it's an older architecture, it can still compete with the newer SUV's on technology too. It's an option, but adaptive cruise with stop and go, front crash prevention, lane keeping etc is available and works well. - Can tow, can tow a lot. -It's been around with this engine and transmission combo since 2014. Whatever defects there were, whatever that needed time to be figured out, is now figured out. I made a mistake of purchasing a first model year car before, man oh man, never again! Cons: - Thirsty. Yes me being a little heavy footed doesn't help either. - Technology shows its age; while it does have optional front crash prevention, it can not detect pedestrians. Most newer model competitors can. - You can't fold the second row seats if there's a child seat on. - Brakes are a little on the mushy side. Too much travel (coming from a German car) before pads actually bite the rotors. - It can be flat towed, tranny has a mode for that, but it doesn't have any connection to activate the brakes and brake lights. Overall, I am very happy. P.S. I did buy an 8 years 125k miles extended "max care" warranty. It's really affordable for the coverage it provides. Unlike many other brands, they let you buy it anytime before the factory warranty expires. You don't have to get it when you purchase the car!

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...

Great suv
I dont know what vehicle they were test driving if they thought the V6 was under powered . I have a new 2020 and if you step on it , it runs like a scared rabbit . Plenty of power for this vehicle . V6 is quiet and works seamlessly with the ZF designed 8 speed auto which shifts almost undetectably under normal throttle shifts . Love the configurable dashboard where you can choose an analog speedo or a digital speedo setup . Paint job is flawless . Front seats are very comfortable and have a lot of seat travel for any tall drivers which i love. Backlit door cupholders , center cup holders and a lit glovebox . Excellent sounding base radio with 6 Alpine speakers . Have tow package which gives you a full size spare . The only negative I dislike so far is I dont like having to go into the infotainment to set the climate control . There is a blower knob external for blower speed but I guess you have to have it there if you want to have auto climate . You can switch it auto or manual . So far love this vehicle . Hope the long term reliability is there . Crossing fingers . I will probably get a max car warranty just because there are so many expensive things to go wrong now and I plan on running this into the ground and hope to get 200000 miles out of it . Highly recommend.

Not sure what the complaint is with the V6
This review is mostly fair but I have to point out that the complaint about the lack of power with the V6 seems to have no basis in reality. I imagine the reviewer is comparing it to the V8s in the R/T or SRT models. That's fine. But the R/T offers more power than most competitors and the SRT is simply off the charts. Of course those outperform the V6. But, as the base engine, the V6 matches most competitors.
We are loving our 2019 White SXT V6
We have been driving Durango since 2003 we got our first Durango then 150K we drove till 350K miles and traded for 2015 charger our family became bigger road trips became a hassle so we traded the charger for the Durango.. we love Dodge it's been good and reliable to us.. we wouldn't want any brand so far best car ever.

Impressed with performance!
I traded in my 2017 Challenger scat pack for the 2020 Durango R/T (I’m a family man now...) and was expecting a rather boring, hum-drum driving experience from the Durango. I was very pleasantly surprised by the entire driving experience. The R/T has a plethora of power and handles really, really well, like a muscle car but higher! In Sport Mode the 5.7 Hemi is especially impressive and responsive. Now the whole family can enjoy a fun and comfortable ride, not just me.

Love my Durango R/T
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.

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.

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.

A top contender in many categories = versatility.
I have had a 2001 V8 Durango, 2006 Pacifica, 2008 Honda CRV, and a 2013 Toyota Highlander. The 2020 Durango is my favorite. I disagree with Edmunds that the V6 lacks adequate performance. It is more than adequate. I would not want the V8 unless I had serious towing needs. The Durango is not too small, not too big - it's just the right size. There are few that can haul more people and/or more gear. To my surprise, it gets the same or slightly better gas mileage than all I have had but the CRV. I hate the automatic engine shutdown / restart, but I love that it can be turned off and stays off until you decide to turn it back on. It will get some respect on city streets, and there are even urban Youtube Durango enthusiasts. It has more reasonable off-road and deep snow ground clearance than many. It will get you to the opera or out on the tractor path through the field or on the fire road in the mountains. It will serve daily commuters, soccer moms, or cowboys. It may not be the best at any one thing, but it is a serious contender in virtually every category.

2019 Durango rt
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.

Review from a man who love driving highway
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.

No user manual!!!
I am very disappointed at the fact my 2020 Dodge Durango did not come with a user manual. I understand you can find everything online but in most emergency situations either your phone is dead and there’s no cell service. I don’t think I should have to buy one considering I bought it brand new. Other than that, I LOVE that freaking vehicle!!!! I found out the salesmen actually sell them online!! The Dealership only game me one because my husband, who bought a vehicle from them later made them give me one.

Great SUV
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.

Simple, Reliable, Suprisingly good Gas mileage
We bought the base model Durango and love it. I am 6 ft tall and can fit in the 3rd row. It has been so reliable with zero issues. Occasionally we get the warning light that the stop/start isn't working which is fine because we turn it off every time anyways. We put 30000 since we bought it in March 2020. Great car, no complaints.

OMG !!!!!!!
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.

Harty RT
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!!

2019 white Dodge Durango SXT plus
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.

The Dodge Durango has reached greater heights.
Yes, this is true. I recently sold my low mileage 2005 Durango, and was not sure what new SUV was next in line. Through Edmunds, I was able to see online, the exact one I had intended on purchasing. I reviewed the window sticker, followed Edmund suggested price and immediately called the dealer. From that point on, it was a dream come true.

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.

Test driving new Durango 18 and 19
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!

Plenty of go
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.

This is not flat towable for RVing unless you get the R/T model that has the manual transfer case. Otherwise it seem to be a great suv other than the cost. I did not buy this due to it not being towable and the high cost.

Best SUV I have ever owned
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.

I have a 2020 dodge Durango with 100k miles one it. I take care of my cars, and preform all suggestions on services. So far I’ve had the engine rebuilt twice, as well as a brand new crate motor so far. And right at 100k I had the transmission go out. It’s a complete money pit, I wouldn’t wish this car on my worst enemy.
