Overview & Reviews

The 5.7-liter Hemi V8 gains a multidisplacement cylinder management system, which boosts fuel economy up to 20 percent in certain driving situations. Wheel choices have been revised, and 17-inch alloys are now standard. Stability control, a power rear liftgate and remote vehicle start system are newly optional. A three-passenger 60/40-split third-row seat is now optional on the SLT and standard on the Limited model, raising maximum seating capacity to eight.

• Strong V8 engines, agile handling, excellent ride quality, capable off-road, lots of cargo capacity, simple controls.

• Lousy mileage, sloppy fit and finish, needs more second-row legroom and storage.

  Get One Now! - 2006 Dodge Durango
  By Jeff - April 29 - 8:33 pm

  Best vehicle on the market for a family of 4 to 6 kids. Car seats fit great. Fun on the highway and off the highway. Mileage reasonable for the power. Ride is superb. Cornering is solid. Has and incredibly tight turning radius and is easy to park even for inexperienced drivers. The look of the vehicle is stunning in with the metallic black paint job. Roomy interior for tall people. Cargo room is breathtaking. Dodge made a mistake. The vehicle should be priced $10K more for something that rivals the drivability of a Lexus, Cadillac, or a BMW SUV. And oh by the way, the Durango can tow where these upscale SUVs cant.

  Great Vechicle- Exceptional Value - 2006 Dodge Durango
  By Mr.Mom - April 4 - 7:08 am

  Exceptional features minus the bling. As a 64 Mr.Mom, I can comfortably haul our kids or sheets of drywall without missing a beat! I get 14mpg in the city and about 19-20mpg on the highway. Our Durango is a pleasure to drive. Steering is smooth and responsive. The interior is quiet. By the way, on the freeway the Hemi is the real deal! When you need to change lanes it goes into warp speed although the driver always feels a sense of being in total control.

  One of my Favourites - 2006 Dodge Durango
  By Jamie - March 8 - 12:09 pm

  I had a 2002 Ford Explorer Eddie Bauer Edition so it was loaded with all the goodies. When I bought the Durango it was SXT model so it doesnt have any of the bells and whistles that the Explorer had but it drives much smoother, faster, and is more comfortable than the Explorer. I regret not getting the Hemi and SLT or Limited edition but I was already at my limit. Cold mornings its a little sluggish until it gets warm but the past few days of hot weather in Colorado its fast off the mark!

  Great SUV - 2006 Dodge Durango
  By Dave Pummell - February 19 - 9:24 am

  I bought my 2006 Dodge Durango while Chrysler offered $5,000 off or 0% financing (actually the $5,000 off was the better deal with it being financed elsewhere). I love the truck. It is very capable in 4wd and offers plenty of power. I also love the sound of the V8. Nothing sounds better than a V8. I recently drove through the mountains of VA and WVA and was very pleased with how much power the Durango had. The only downer was I only got 18mpg on the trip. If you dont mind spending a little extra on gas, this is a great vehicle!!

  Love It! - 2006 Dodge Durango
  By Jackie - February 2 - 10:34 pm

  I traded in my 1 year old Jeep Liberty that my husband surprised me with, way too small, he was understanding and we decided to look for new trucks. We almost bought the Lexus GX440 for alot more money, but decided to leave the dealer on the way home saw the Durango for a lot less money. We did purchase an extended warranty a week after at a Chrysler dealership and the warranty was much cheaper. I love this truck, rides great, gas is what I expected it to be. And with the $6000.00 rebate you cant beat it.

  For the Kids - 2006 Dodge Durango
  By 4theKIDS - January 18 - 12:46 pm

  I haul football players all the time. This SUV has been to LA four times in two months with a load of kids and lots of equipment. I love the ride. The teenagers do not have a problem in the third row, nor is there a complaint as I got this SUV at the same price as I purchased a 2005 Honda Accord. I do wish the fuel was better. I have the low end SUV, but still have all power and room for 7! I must also state that I am a real estate agent, and this SUV may not have been one of the high end utilities that my peers have but I look just as good!

  Loving my new Durango more everyday!! - 2006 Dodge Durango
  By BOX in IL - January 5 - 10:24 pm

  I recently purchased an 06 Durango SLT 4x4. I was driving a 04 Infiniti G35 coupe. Needless to say it was a huge change. After getting used to stepping up instead of stepping down, I have found that I am loving my new Durango more and more everyday. I test drove many SUVs ranging from small ones like the Mitsubishi Outlander, and the large ones. The Durango has all the fun and appeal of of a larger SUV with the handling of the small ones. I was sold on the test drive. Gas mileage is so so, but what do you respect this the size of this car. The interior is very nice and the exterior is styling. My only complaint would be to add a couple of little features.

  Fun to Drive - 2006 Dodge Durango
  By BRB - December 30 - 1:48 am

  This is my first SUV. Love the power of the Hemi and the room for my 3 kids. Got a great deal with my employee discount, plus another $8000 off of that.

  2nd New Generation Durango - 2006 Dodge Durango
  By MNicley - December 7 - 10:15 pm

  This is the second new style Durango I have owned. I had a 2004 SLT with the hemi which I loved. Traded it in on this 2006 Limited Hemi. The MPS gets me about 2 more mpg city (15) and 4 more mpg on the highway (22). The Alpine sound system is geat as is all the other creature comforts! Cant beat the options, power, and performance compared to other SUVs of similar and higher price.

  Happy? - 2006 Dodge Durango
  By Frank - December 6 - 2:06 pm

  I traded in my 2002 Mercedes-Benz S500 to get a truck. I have to say that Im not 100% happy but Im also not disappointed. I have to say the Durango is fun to drive and the interior quality is better than good. The six in dash CD player and steering wheel control are easy to use and the ride is like a car. I give this one a 9 out of 10 in the truck category. The third row seat is also well suited, and the quality of the leather is also well above average.
