  This SUV saved my life - 2002 Dodge Durango
  By bravesmom - November 27 - 2:00 am

  I loved my Durango before my accident but now I can really recommend this auto. While driving my Durango I was hit head on by a Ford Expedition (monster SUV) going 45 mph. Thanks be to God, I and the Expedition passengers were uninjured, although bruised and shaken. The airbags deployed and the fact that I was wearing a seat belt helped me survive. This SUV performed as it was supposed to in a collision. Although I have a choice to purchase any SUV I am going to get another Durango because it has been proven to me that it is a safe SUV.

  Great Truck - 2002 Dodge Durango
  By wjohnson - November 26 - 2:00 am

  Nice truck, big enough to carry my wife and 3 kids. would be nice to have a little more cargo space when the 3rd seat is occupied. Fun to drive and easy to park, unlike my full size blazer and other monster SUVs I driven. I highly recommend.

  Fun times - 2002 Dodge Durango
  By Off-roader - November 12 - 2:00 am

  I think all you people you say that the durango needs a 5.2 intead of a 4.7 dont know what your talking about. we have a 1998 5.8 durango in great cond. and the 4.7 drives and feels alot better. The AC in mine is alight not that much different then in the 98. but the 4.7 model is lot lighter feel and it alot faster then 5.9 was new. they really but alot of work in the new engine. it also had a Benz feeling in it. its not as truck feeling as the 98 had but still nice. handles in off roading better then 98, really fun to drive, better then any ford or chevy can do.

  My second Durange - 2002 Dodge Durango
  By GRK - November 11 - 2:00 am

  This is one of my favorite vehicles ever. It is actually an SLT Plus with the 5.9. The new Durango is my second I had one of the first 1998s. I think the exterior design and shape is by far the nicest among SUVs, especially in mono color. I put 154,000 miles on the 98 and had NO PROBLEMS.Lots of truck for the money. I might even buy a third on in a couple of years.

  FIRST TIME DODGE BUYER - 2002 Dodge Durango
  By boot44 - November 9 - 2:00 am

  Check engine light came on within one week of purchase. Dealer stated gas cap was not on tight enough. The following week, it would not stay running when stopped at light or intersection....corrected itself before I made it back to dealer. Im a little nervous about it. Hoping that this is not a sign of things to come.

  Liking what I see - 2002 Dodge Durango
  By still shopping - September 8 - 2:00 am

  I fell in love with the Durango when they first came out. I have yet to buy one, though. I am planning a purchase in the next year or so, and am looking at the Durango and the Mercury Mountaineer. I keep leaning towards the Durango. I like the seating capacity and the look of it. This will be my first SUV purchase and am looking forward to it. I am also looking forward to the new, revamped version coming out next year!

  Love It All Except The A/C - 2002 Dodge Durango
  By GeorgeN - September 5 - 2:00 am

  I have driven my Durango 4X4 SLT Plus for several months now and love it with one exception. The A/C system does not perform well at all. I have tried having the dealer look at it twice and each time they say it is performing to specs. Well they need to improve on their specs if that is the case. The main system takes too long to cool down and the rear fans do not blow hard enough. The rest is great.

  2002 DURANGO - 2002 Dodge Durango
  By johnnyb32 - August 30 - 2:00 am

  The buying experience was not so good. The truck is real nice and has better pick-up and speed than my older 4- runner. Im not too comfortable in the drivers seat I have a hard time getting comfortable. the glove box is small, ignition needs to be moved hits my legs.

  They have ruined the Durango! - 2002 Dodge Durango
  By The Big dawg - August 21 - 2:00 am

  WE own a 1999 durango and test drove a 2002. The 1999 is far better. It has a bigger engine 5.2 vs 4.7. Most of all, the AC in our 99 is far better to the 2002. In places like Phoenix AZ, Dallas Texas, Atlanta GA, ETC, the superior AC is very important!!!!!!!

  Great Upgrade! - 2002 Dodge Durango
  By bltkate - August 18 - 2:00 am

  I had a 2000 Dakota and loved that truck. This is a great step up on features and performance. We have done a lot of looking around at the other SUVs out there and this was still my first choice. The trade off between features and gas economy was no sacrifice compared to the other SUVs. Very stable in the curves and on rouph roads. Lots of room inside.
