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.

  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.

  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.

  The Longest Test Drive! - 2006 Dodge Durango
  By DodgeLover - November 29 - 4:50 pm

  We 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.

  The comfort for a family of six is great. The kids have a lot of room to maneuver around and not be crowded.

  Third Dodge SLT Hemi 2WD - 2006 Dodge Durango
  By dodge owner - September 9 - 10:30 am

  This 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 pm

  I 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.
