Most reliable car I?ve ever owned

This car is great. It?s spacious. The back 2 rows fold down to make the trunk bigger. It holds 7 people. The sound system is amazing. Love the heated seats.

Most reliable vehicle that I have ever owned.

I loved my 2005 Dodge Durango for seven years, so trustworthy that I bought another Durango, just upgraded.

Super comfy and reliable

Been a great car for our family. Super comfy seat warmers and the DVD keeps the kids busy on long drives. Love the power, drives great and fun.

Best vehicle I had!

I loved my Durango, I had 2 of them and would buy another one. I have a big family and this is perfect for long trips!

It was great for the first 100k

Now I can't trust it. I love this truck but it's becoming too costly. And it also has a known dodge issue of randomly stopping running,

Large and in charge!

Bought this vehicle new in 2006, and have driven it on several trips across CA, AZ and NM. Even though it is basically a truck chassis, it rides quite nice... and because it is a truck chassis it can haul like a truck. It will tow up to 9500 Lbs, and will move as fast as you want, even when loaded to the gills. I put 115K miles on her, and she's still smooth and reliable. These Dodge Durango's are good machines! Wife used it as a daily driver and aside from poor gas mileage in the city, it is comfortable and a great family car. My kids are grown and I don't need the space anymore, but I still prefer this out on the highway for road trips!

Seventh Haven

Over the years I have had cars that I love as well as one truck Bighorn being a girl I loved the rugggedness of my Isuzu Bighorn (Jamaica), It was cool. My first vehicle in the USA used 2005 80,000m DODGE DURANGO HEMI WHOOLALA. I LOOVE it, I get the thrill of some muscle yet elegant. Not to mention the humming when sailing on the road it says power, look at me world. The interior perfection and strength and just the right amount of features I can handle and some extras. My sunroof Mmmmm, space is an whole apartment carries ladder, door Vichy shower wet bed (8ft long). navigator,, TV, heated seat and the list goes on, I am going to stop, too much to mentioned. This truck is my baby and I am never, never going to sell it, even when I get another vehicle, Its curvaceous, unique and I have never had any mechanical problems except battery change at 136,000 miles. My Durango HEMI Forever. Rose. .

2005 Durango Bad Rep but Great with a few mods.

I bought a 2005 Durango, on the top ten list of cars NOT to buy. Put on the new cowl to prevent hydrolock ($125) and enjoy. It has a bad rep, but I'm loving it.
