  • Better than a Minvan - 2003 Dodge Durango
    By -

    We are a minivan family and just purchased our first 03 SUV. Cannot wait to trade the minivan in for a second Durango. My husband and I fight over who will drive the truck and who will drive the minivan. Its roomy, sporty and drives and handles great!! The kids love the rear air and they actually sit without complaints during trips. Who can ask for better than that?

    We all know the stories of gas mileage, but we knew that before we bought the Durango. Great vehicle, with plenty of power and fun to drive. Prefer it to the new 2004 by a mile!

  • A great SUV - 2003 Dodge Durango
    By -

    I bought my Durango in late 2003 used, with only 7000 miles from CarMax. Very reliable, great power with a 5.7 Liter V-8 engine. Good fuel economy for a V- 8 (about 15 mpg). Great pickup and third row seat that folds into floor is a great feature. I like its style better than the new 2004. Interior design is also wonderful.

    This 2WD version of the Durango comes with a very powerful V8. I love the power. I find that Im getting 14.8mpg on the interstate. Thats not great. Otherwise this is a very comfortable vehicle. The leather seats are very nice.

  • AOK after 10 months - 2003 Dodge Durango
    By -

    Chose this vehicle after having Cherokee. Durango, is a larger more comfortable vehicle. And yes, the mileage is lower but the engine is bigger, so that is to be expected. I find the Durango to be reliable, and very comfortable, especially in the price range, my passangers always make a comment of liking it.

    Refreshing for an American built SUV. Ride is somewhat sporty and pretty predictable in manuvering. Good bang for the buck with a touch of German quality and engineering. Almost has a "hotrod" appeal.
