Overview & Reviews

Entry-level Sport model gets bigger wheels (16s versus last year's 15s) and all Durangos now have four-wheel disc brakes. Inside, you'll find a six-disc CD changer as a new option. A redesign is due for 2004.

• Strong V8 engines, smooth-shifting transmission, excellent ride quality, rugged good looks.

• Dismal gas mileage, dated design.

  Not for the long of back! - 2003 Dodge Durango
  By Nick1011 - February 20 - 10:00 am

  I went and tried to sit in one of these today, and noticed a not-so-nice feature. They have the rear a/c ducts in the cieling, so if you are long in the torso, you probably wont fit! Other than that, I would have bought one today.

  Never Again - 2003 Dodge Durango
  By George - July 29 - 4:47 pm

  Owned R/T for several months now and regret trading in my Infiniti for it. Had 32K when purchased and had tie rod problems from the day I drove off lot. Wife broke down 3 days after purchase. Went back to have driver side window switch replaced due to failure, Window came off track At 44k transmission started slipping on highway at 65mph. Took to dealer and whole transmission needed to be replaced over $2k. Lucky I bought extended warranty but still cost me $425 out of pocket. Still doesnt feel right. Slips now when rear end hits any bump on highway. I am going with my wife this week to get rid of it and buy a foreign car. American cars are just not up to the quality level.

  poor - 2003 Dodge Durango

  Dodge does not back their product whatsoever. This was the most horrible experience Ive ever encountered with a vehicle. I will never own another dodge product. Beware of the transmission and get the extended warranty.

  I hate it!!! - 2003 Dodge Durango
  By Ryne - December 3 - 2:00 am

  I traded in my 2000 Durango due to high mileage, which to me rode like a Cadillac, and purchased the 2003 model. After 3 months we are looking at trading this one in. This one rides like a truck, the interior seems so much smaller and compact. You are now butting elbows with your passenger. I always said I would always drive a Durango, but now I think we will be looking at other SUVs.

  Poor Quality & Reliability - 2003 Dodge Durango
  By GKS - November 3 - 2:00 am

  Within the first 2,000 miles, the Durango has been returned to the dealer for warranty repairs to the a/c system, transmission, rear differential, weatherstrips, and seat cover material. The Durango SLT with the 5.9 engine was built very poorly and has very poor quality and reliability. I have no confidence in the vehicles long-term reliability or dependability.

  Nice truck - if its built right - 2003 Dodge Durango
  By ipatrick - June 5 - 10:00 am

  THe 5.9L v-8 is powerful, and the truck moves fast even with 6 passengers and luggage. 3rd row seat is fairly comfortable although legroom is lacking, and theres room behind the third seat which is nice. However, we have needed to replace virtually the entire drive train and continue to have problems. Fortunately, the work was covered by warranty, but the continual problems just arent worth it.
