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.

2006 Dodge Durango - 2006 Dodge Durango
By Todd n DE - December 2 - 11:03 amI bought this truck and traded in my 2000 Acura RL because my wife is pregnant with our third child and we needed the room. The Acura was paid for and I did not want a big note, so price was an important issue. Since my late grandfather retired from Chrysler, we were able to get the employee price. We got an in-stock truck w/ every option available, except GPS. Shortly after purchase, my family went on a trip from Delaware to South Carolina. I am very pleased with the way this vehicle performs and rides. I also really like all the options.

The Longest Test Drive! - 2006 Dodge Durango
By DodgeLover - November 29 - 4:50 pmWe live in Charlotte, NC and purchased a 2006 SLT 4x4 only 12 days ago. This, after 8 months of shopping for that "Perfect Safety Vehicle". The Durango is a "safety tank" 5-star everything. Essentially, we have taken it on the "Worlds Longest Test Drive" by driving to upstate NY (900 miles each way). What a great ride! The seats are great, dash design is sharp, the gauges at night are a very cool aqua green, and it has a very good stock sound system. As for gas, its an SUV, it will not have Honda Accord gas mileage. But, we tracked 5 tanks at an average of 20.2 mpg. Great for the size of the vehicle! Why people buy expensive luxury SUVs is beyond me after driving our Durango.

By hillspot - November 29 - 11:43 amThe comfort for a family of six is great. The kids have a lot of room to maneuver around and not be crowded.

Do It Durango - 2006 Dodge Durango
By wbentt - September 16 - 11:33 pmI have had my new 06 Durango for three weeks now and love it. It is quiet like a limosine until you step on the gas and feel the incredible power of the Hemi. The interior is fantasitic. Dash is superb! Seats are really comfortable and power drivers seat standard. Yes! I bought this one without running boards and now see that I will have to order some. Its a long way up! The gas mileage is lower than expected, but the power will be great for pulling my motorcycle and trailer to TX every winter. The looks are OK. Havent got used to the front end yet but everything else makes it great! Front will grow on me. Crawled under and had a look. Now that is built tough, but rides great!

Third Dodge SLT Hemi 2WD - 2006 Dodge Durango
By dodge owner - September 9 - 10:30 amThis is my third Dodge product. This 2006 Durango is the best vehicle so far. Love the Hemi, and mileage is actually better than the Ram 1500. Currently close to 3000 miles and 300 mile highway trip rated 20.9. Wife also likes better than truck, easier to drive and ride is fantastic. For the money, 8 seats and Hemi, no other choice.

Awesome - 2006 Dodge Durango
By mcoon - August 27 - 9:08 pmI have always liked the Durango. I purchased one a week ago and just love my Durango. It has the best ride and is very quiet and smooth. The SLT model is great. I just cant say enough about the handling. Its like a hot knife going through butter, very smooth. Dodge has come along way with the Durango. Its the best ride in town.

Durango, Go, Go... - 2006 Dodge Durango
By Tony Diaz - May 22 - 7:04 amI just changed my 2002 Mercedes C32 AMG (349 HP) for a 2006 Durango Limited with the HEMI Magnum engine. To be honest, I feel better now than before. Performance or comfort are just as good, except when cornering. The Alpine sound system in then Durango sounds better, to me than the BOSE system in the MB. The controls on the steering wheel are better than in the MB. The seats are just as nice, but the Hemi, WOW! I could not imagine its power until now. Jumping on the gas pedal, although fatal to your budget, is beneficial to the heart--feeling those 325 horse exploding out through them rear tires, just makes your heart pump all that fat out of your arteries.

The Greatest - 2006 Dodge Durango
By Troy - April 13 - 8:11 pmWow, where do I start? This is an awsome vehicle that has something for everyone. I recently purchesed the powerful 4.7 liter SLT that out distances its peers by far. The ride is comfortable, sterring is great and the outcome of the two is an awsome ride. And there are three rows so when we travel with family or friends there is no question on which vehicle we will go in. I choose this vehicle over the Expedition that dosent compare.

Lovin it! - 2006 Dodge Durango
By Jennifer - April 6 - 11:54 amI have had my new Durango for about two weeks and I love it! It is nice to look at and rides very smooth. We have a new baby, and really enjoy the room it offers. This is my first Durango, but probably wont be my last.
