  • Recommend Buying - 2004 Dodge Durango
    By -

    I traded in my 2000 Durango, which I was very pleased with, after test driving the 2004. Dodge has dramatically improved the ride quality, handling and braking. Although it may appear insignificant to some, entry into the third row seat is much easier. On my first camping trip, fully loaded with gear and 4 passengers, I averaged over 20 miles per gallon at a steady 74mph. Not bad for a vehicle of this size. City mileage is consistent with EPA estimates. Since its new, its hard to gauge reliablity. I rated it high as I did not stick a cent into the 2000 vehicle that was worked hard.

    I got a loaded SLT with 4WD, Hemi, sunroof, leather, DVD entertainment system. We have three kids so the Durango gives us lots of room with the 3rd row.

    Nice styling, comfortable seating. Large, with a good turning radius. V8, 239 cid has good power with 235 horsepower and a strong and smooth shifter. Nice metallic color offerred by Dodge. Caddys watch out, the Hemis getting bigger every year. Quality craftsmanship with a long dealer warranty. These SUVs will be the best overall, if not already, soon.

  • Redesigned 04 Durango - 2004 Dodge Durango
    By -

    To say that the 04 Durango is redesigned is an incorrect statement. It is my opinion that they built a brand new vehicle and named it the Durango. The body is wider, longer, taller. The suspension reminds you of a Mercedes. You dont realize that you are driving a 5000lb SUV. The nose is dropped and shorter than the previous years giving you a better view of the road and parking areas. Over the holidays, 4 adults traveled extremely comfortably with the back full of luggage. We have the 5.7l Hemi with the 4x4/AWD and our trip to the mountains of North Carolina and thru the snow was a breeze.

  • 2004 Durango with a HEMI - 2004 Dodge Durango
    By -

    The limited Durango is Quiet, powerful (yes, it has a hemi)and very nimble. Our Durango is the top of the line LIMITED with leather, sunroof, dvd and a 380 watt sound system. We love the features, power and handling. The ride quality is outstanding and when you are accelerating we can still just barely hear the engine wind up. And we have lots of ROOM!! But is does not drive like a big suv. Its easy to park even though we park out a ways so we do not get any DINGS from inconsiderate drivers.

  • Did you expect 25 mpg??? - 2004 Dodge Durango
    By -

    Wonderful vehicle with more than enough power (Is that possible?), room, and comfort. I hear and read a lot of complaints about mpg. When you bought a 335 hp V8 with the word HEMI, did you expect 25 mpg? I average between 12 to 14 with most of my driving in urban areas. The vehicle is smooth riding, and rides much nicer than any Chevy Ive owned in the past. For its size moving around in tight spaces is easy, thanks to the sharp turning radius. Would recommend getting the back up sensors do to poor rear visibility. If youre looking for something bigger than an Explorer or Trailblazer, but smaller than the Expedition and Tahoe...This is your vehicle!

  • Best i ever had still going strong - 2004 Dodge Durango
    By -

    Hi bought it new and now i have 290,000 miles on it and runs like a charm. does not shake on idle the radio antenna is still no shaking. i put about 2100.00 in repair since i bought it. retired mechanic i do my own repair. This Durango slt 4.7l 2x4 wheel drive haul a 5x10 trailer loaded since 2004 from Quebec to Florida and never had problem going 70 mph. Never seen a winter and still have original shocks with dealer sticker on them. already at 290,000 miles and still going fine. just replace bank 2 sensor 1 on exhaust pipe and engine light went off. hit a deer last year in North Carolina not to much damage luckily its high from the ground

  • Best SUV - 2004 Dodge Durango
    By -

    This SUV has got some serious power it outranks any SUV on the road not to mention how cool it looks and how comfortable it is. If you want an SUV the Durango is the only way to go.

  • Finally a quality Durango - 2004 Dodge Durango
    By -

    I have had a several different SUVs over the years and 2 older model Durangos. They always rode rough and felt and looked low quality. Now this Durango rides awesome, noise level is great, and feels sturdy and tight in the corners. I love it.

  • Love my Durango - 2004 Dodge Durango
    By -

    Handles very well, 22 mpg hwy Hemi with 3:55 Rear Axle, 16mpg in town. Tows my 6000 Boat with no effort, the Tow Mode is great. Just towed back from VA a 6X12 Uhaul about 3500 lbs 16 MPG and no effort. Just a great vehicle, too bad most Dodge Dealers are so in the 80s. I think they pass out 5 star ratings to anyone.
