The rumble of the V8!

2020 Dodge Durango R/T 4dr SUV AWD (5.7L 8cyl 8A)

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
