  Nice Ride - 2003 Dodge Durango
  By NICE RIDE - January 31 - 10:27 pm

  I bought this car about a year and a half ago. it barely had 14000 miles on it and was in perfect condition. I paid $15.5k for it and got it for a steal. I had heard a lot of bad things about the Durangos but for the price, I could not pass it up. I have driven this car across the country twice and have not had ANY problems with it.

  Even better than the last one - 2003 Dodge Durango
  By postman - January 1 - 10:00 am

  I had a 2000 Durango with 73000 miles and thought this would be a good time to trade it for a new vehicle because of all the insentives and low interest rates. I test drove the Jeep Grand Cherokee and was disappointed with it. The lack of room and power were the main dissapointments. I went back to my Dodge dealer and drove the 2003 Durango and fell in love with it. Dont get me wrong, I loved my 2000 Durango but the 2003 have been refined to perfection. The ride is so much smoother and the handling is much better. The comfort level is amazing, I feel like Im driving a Lexus from the inside. I plan on keeping this baby for a long time.

  2003 Dodge Durango SXT 4x4 4.7L - 2003 Dodge Durango
  By wizz - November 25 - 8:33 pm

  I have a SXT model with the small 4.7 v8 and was getting around 18-19mpg hwy, till I installed a magnaflow powerpack muffler and a cold air intake. Now Im getting around 380-400 miles to a tank full of 24 gals. Thats strictly highway though. But when you kick down into passing gear you can feel a huge difference in power and almost watch the fuel needle go down. 0-60/6.1sec--1/4mile/15.42. 3.55axle 265/70x16 tires. Cant wait to see what happens when I put headers on and tune it. Love that 4.7!

  What an SUV should be! - 2003 Dodge Durango
  By MIGY - November 19 - 10:00 am

  Powerful, fun to drive really roomy and has everything you should expect from an SUV. Wish gas mileage was better but you have to pay the price for power.

  Great Vehicle, Great Price - 2003 Dodge Durango
  By Joe in Tucson - November 19 - 10:00 am

  We looked around and considered a new Dakota to replace the 92; then my wife saw the Durango and drove it. It was love at first site; she says this is the most delightful vehicle shes ever owned. Plenty of power and room, comfortable to drive. Very smooth shifting, enough creature comforts, appears to be well built. The $4500 incentive doesnt hurt either! Overall a great SUV ended up being too close in price to the Dakota to NOT go with the Durango.

  Extreme fun - 2003 Dodge Durango
  By 03sxtowner - November 14 - 12:37 am

  Just bought my 03 SXT 2wd. I love it. It handles like a sports car. I own a 02 Intrepid and I have never had a problem with it as well. There are so many possibilities with this truck. I cant wait. I am a forever Dodge owner from now on. I have 4 kids and they love the comfort of the seats and the drive.

  Nice Ride for a Permit Driver - 2003 Dodge Durango
  By SDC - November 8 - 9:59 am

  Weve had our Durango for 4 yrs. Its great, though the water pump was damaged by a rock causeing the engine to overheat way too much and blow. Other than that this is one damn fine truck.

  Good, but not great - 2003 Dodge Durango
  By Derden - September 6 - 1:55 am

  If I had to buy a vehicle over again, this would not be the one, even if gas prices were not so high. It was a good vehicle, but only for the first couple of weeks I had it. I spend an averge of $600 dollars a month on a vehicle that I dont care about.

  Good truck for me - 2003 Dodge Durango
  By Joe - August 3 - 1:29 pm

  This is my first SUV and I am very pleased with the performance, handling, and looks of the vehicle. Although I am skeptical from reading other reviews, I have had no problems with the vehicle. I purchased a 24 foot enclosed race car trailer (with stabalizing bars and sway bar control) and have had no problem with towing power, weight of 7300lbs. My only complaint is the narrowness of the vehicle. Even with adding extended mirrors it is difficult to see around the trailer. Due other reviews in Edmunds, I opted to buy the full extended service warranty. Looked at an 05 Expedition and my Durango had more interior cargo length (not width) and was easier to load.
