Used 2022 Dodge Durango Consumer Reviews
16 months in, 16,000 miles, so far, so good.
It makes no sense to read reviews from owners who have had their cars for 2 or 3 weeks. It is far more helpful to get a sense of what the car is like over a year of driving. That being the case, I have had no problems whatsoever with my SXT Durango 2wd drive. In fact, I really like how well it drives, sufficient power, quiet smooth drive. I like the naturally aspirated 6 cylinder and 8 speed transmission, doesn't seem to hunt and peck for gears, smooth acceleration, and very quiet. Plenty of room for 6, and small adults can comfortably sit in the 3rd row. Seats are comfortable. The Uconnect works well enough. Averaging 23.5 mpg, mixed, up to 26 mpg on highway at 65-70 mph, only 23.5 mpg at 75-78 mph. This SUV has a "middle of the road" exterior design, that some see as dated, but I think it looks great. Having test driven every midsize 3 row crossover, I found this one drove the best, looked the best, and surprisingly was the least expensive. I do not regret this purchase at all.

SRT trim is next level
I flew out to North Carolina and drove it back home to California. The good: What a blast it has been to drive. I averaged 20 mpg for the whole trip!! (I was in eco mode the entire time) the SRT has more than enough power to get you going on the freeway to blend into the traffic with ease. Seating was comfortable and upgraded sound system rocked The bad: wireless phone charger had overheated my phone several times. Bluetooth connectivity was a little glitchy throughout the trip. Overall, very very happy with this SUV. Looks great in F8 green clear coat along with the mopar matte black stripes.

4th Durango I've owned will be last
This thing has been nothing but trouble. First the button cluster that houses the sun roof control falls out on the way home from the dealer. Then we notice tje inside plastic wall panel in the rear driver side is falling off. Then we go to put gas in the car and the push to open gas lid won't open it is no mounted flush and is binding. They put black lug nuts on the black rims and used an impact gun guess what genius it took all the black off now the lugnuts are rust colored. Now the thing won't drift to a stop it will drive forever around 25-30 mph with no foot on the gas like it's in cruise control. Oh ya and the carpet is all buckled up. Then we take it in to fix some of these things they keep it all day just to tell us 7 hrs later they can't fix any of it u til they get parts that was 3 weeks ago and still waiting. I see a new Tahoe in my future....

My 2021Durango R/T
***Update: 24,300 miles, 32 mos of ownership and Durango still trouble free. Also averaging 20 mpg hwy at speed of 70 to 75 mph. ++Update: 17,000 miles, 20 months of ownership and Durango is still problem free. The Sirius was finally reloved.** Wanted an SUV with ample towing capacity. The Durango R/T is in a class by itself. I purchased a new 2021 model in Jan 2022. In addition to being able to tow my Polaris Ranger UTV, this vehicle is just fun to drive. I love the fact that Dodge kept actual buttons to control climate and media/radio instead of everything being thru the Uconnect System. I'm hoping that non-towing gas mileage improves a couple of mpg better than the combined 15 mpg I'm currently getting. I've only driven 7,000 miles during 8 months of ownership. So far the only thing that has not worked is Sirius Vehicle Condition Report that is to be each month. A case is open for the this problem that Sirius can't resolve. They had me go to the dealer a couple of times but problem still not resolved. This is not a deal killer for me as long as the Durango cranks and runs without any problems.

Big Mistake
I had a positive purchasing experience. I was very happy with the car for the first month/1000 miles until multiple issues surfaced. It looks appealing and rides nicely. However, this car has serious electrical problems and is a total safety hazard shutting off randomly while driving. Don’t get me started on the Uconnect system. You will regret buying one of this SUV. Dodge really needs to get their act together. I can’t believe $50+ k for this car and it’s totally unreliable. Furthermore, service and repair is a total joke. I was told the local dealership in my area can’t get me in for almost 3 months and most of their staff isn’t trained yet on the new technology. UNBELIEVABLE, UNACCEPTABLE, NEVER AGAIN
