2001 Dodge Durango consumer reviews

Purchased new 2001 and I still own it. The best vehicle I ever owned. I still drive it. Four wheel drive gets us through snow storms Truck was well taken care of and it.

I still own a 2001 Durango SLT. This suv has been the family unit and eventually a very strong work vehicle. As of today it has 404,656 miles on it and starts and runs smooth. All original but only problem is transmission has finally dropped into “limp mode” which needs immediate attention but everything else has been maintained in as best as I could keep it mechanically speaking. Very durable suv and have always felt safe in it because it just rides and handles really strong. I think the 4.7 motor is a workhorse proven by a lot of owners out there that I’ve read about at least but that I’ve witnessed. Longest haul was from Los Angeles to Colorado Springs with a 21 ft mallard trailer and no worries at all with the altitude. Wish I could afford a new one. All makes have problems and recalls but Dodge and Lee Iacocca seem to have spent some time on the first gens. Thank you

Needed a 4wd vehicle for Duluth winter roads and this one fit the budget at $1,000 with just under 150k miles. Several problems were fixed including replacement of the serpentine belt, ac condenser, and tie rod ends and main coolant hose. Cost about $300 to get it in decent reliable condition. There's a lot of rust on her since it's a dodge and it lived it's entire life in wisconsin, have to expect that. Seats 8 passengers but thank God I only have two kids, and they're related to me so they don't have friends :) I fearlessly travel from Oshkosh to Duluth and back regularly with this truck, I've owned it for about 3 months and put almost 10k on it already without any new issues beyond a broken windshield which a woman caused and was no fault of the Dodges haha

I bought this car with 186000 miles on it and it currently has 270,000 on it and I've spent $200 in maintenance parts and it will also outrun most anything that it runs up on going down the road

This suv gave me nothing but issues after the first 2 years of owning it. The truck would randomly die on me while driving. It didn’t have much power for being a V-8 in my opinion. The A/C went out several times. The tailgate’s hydraulics went out twice. It only had 70,000 miles on it when I got rid of it and the transmission was already slipping. I spent more money fixing it and putting out fires than what it was worth I’m sure.

I just purchased my 2001 Durango with only 57,000 miles. Just needed to replace a few minor things since its old but it runs great. It's is a great value.

All good except the 4.7 L engine the worst.It was discontinued for ten years until 2014 a 4.7 evolution engine came back. No recalls on engine 2001,bad over sight for the aluminun heads would drop the valve seats and would loose compresion just like the 5.7 Hemis. Valve seat should be wedged on aluminum heads to keep from poping out from aluminun heads.Vlv seats and heads are dissimilar metals two different heat expansion point.Never buy a dodge again.

This car met all of my needs. It has plenty of legroom in the front and back, the ride is great compare to other cars I tested.

I love this vehicle. This 2001 Dodge Durango has been very dependable for many years. This was one of my greater vehicle purchases I have ever made.

Cutting edge for that year 2001. Wife. Loves driving because of the power and looks. This is 3rd Durango and by far the best. When I bought it several things were wrong. Brake/abs light on, also the transfer Case was not working. I fixed myself and saved $$$$.
