This Year's Model Updates:

Like its sibling, the Dakota, the Durango gets a new trim level dubbed SXT that serves as the entry-level Durango. Other improvements this year include side-curtain airbags, a five-speed automatic gearbox and an optional DVD video entertainment system.

Pros:
  • Commodious cabin, newly optional side-curtain airbags and DVD video, capable performance on-road and off, aggressive styling.
Cons:
  • Some cheap interior trim, high fuel consumption.

  • Hyundai or Dodge? - 2002 Dodge Durango
    By -

    I have been looking to get a SUV for a few years now. I am soon to be getting my permit in a few months and am dying to get a car. I love the dodges cute pudgy looks but my friend owns one and says shes had nothng but trouble and also that the fuel economy is horrible. I am looking at a Hyundai Santa Fe too. But sadly it doesnt have half the things that the base durango has (Like leather seating, opt side air bags, 8 speakers..infact the speakers are quite poor on the Santa Fe). Would the Dodge SLT be a good car for a first time driver?

  • I Love This R/T - 2002 Dodge Durango
    By -

    I Just traded in my 98 SLT for the R/T. I can not believe the difference between the two. If i didnt know any better i would think I was driving a sports car. It seems that this bad boy soved all the problems of the old SLT. I no longer have the constant problems with my rear breaks. I dont squeal around corners or break the rear end loose on turns. Well done.!!

    I love this SUV, It has a great ride, plenty of room for my 3 kids and their friends, as well as all their stuff. I have the SLT Plus model, so I have some nice extras like heated leather seats and sharp accent coloring. I was never an SUV fan before, but I am now. This car handles like a dream.

  • An Acceptable Vehicle - 2002 Dodge Durango
    By -

    I had my Durango for sometime now had only 1 problem. The rear leaf springs. It was replaced and was under warrenty. Gas milage is poor. I thought with the 4.7 engine gas would be better then the 5.9. But I was wrong. Wish they could improve gas milage. But other then that the Durango is a great SUV.
