  • How many gallons per mile??? - 2000 Dodge Durango
    By -

    It is a head turner. Especially in flame red (fire engine red). I cannot go anywhere without someone saying how cool or hot this R/T is. It sounds like a hot rod truck and drives like a sports car. All while picking up the kids, shopping or going camping with the spacious rear cargo area . It is a ride to be proud of. I am upset to say that I get 10 mpgs while driving it normal city/hwy. If I get on it then its 8 mpgs. Dodge needs to get with the program. At $1.97/gal... Its a monthly investment Id rather get rid of.

  • Fun If You Have Alot of Bucks - 2000 Dodge Durango
    By -

    Lots of fun to drive and lots of power (have the 360 5.9L). BUT, the internal rattle noise could be fuel knock from low grade fuel or a louder knock we have found to be the intake gasket (we have replaced twice). My suspension sounded like popcorn popping (leaf springs and shocks replaced). A popping sound from front end can indicate ball joints (so I have found). The long braking distance can be fixed with a brake adjustment.

  • Best Buy Ever - 2000 Dodge Durango
    By -

    Great Vehicle. Just remember there is more to life than gas mileage. I have 3 kids, the extra seat came in extremely handy for the "Shes touching me" sibling syndrome. I traded this vehicle in for a Suzuki Esteem for the gas mileage. What a horrid mistake I made. The Durango is the best SUV out there. Never had any problems. Great ride and lots of compliments. No brainer Go with the Durango.

    Owned for three years and I am deciding if I want to buy it at the end of the lease. I have had no problems or unusual maintance. Would highly recommend the vehicle from 0 to 40,000 miles we shall see on the next 40,000.

  • Patriot Blues - 2000 Dodge Durango
    By -

    Overall I have enjoyed my Durango. Great styling, excellent exceleration, gorgeous Patriot Blue Metallic paint, and some nice creature features, for a truck. However, being one who swore to never buy an SUV, next time, Ill stick to my words. Noise under the hood, sounds like bad bearings in the air conditioning unit. Popping in the suspension. Never make an emergency stop in this vehicle. One power door lock replaced. Power windows, sometimes. One freeze plug replaced at 64k miles.

  • The Perfect Size - 2000 Dodge Durango
    By -

    I wanted a large SUV but my garage door was too small. The Durango was perfect. TONS of room, but not a river barge like a Suburban, Expedition, ETC. Big 5.9liter engine, reliable, nice leather....get the BIG mirrors, they look better and you can see everything when backing up or passing. 40K miles and no problems (except a burt out fog light)

  • Beware of Oil Gelling - 2000 Dodge Durango
    By -

    No problems with vehicle, except it is a gas guzzler. At 44,000 miles engine threw a rod and blew due to oil sludge buildup. There are over 182+ people with the same malfunction ranging from 3000 miles new to 60000 miles. Very common problem in the 5.2L. Research before you buy.

    I bouught my Durango new in 2001 and have been satisfied with the performance; however, the vehicle has been plagued with numerous malfunctions. Ive been back to the dealer for the following, # visits to correct problem in (), power window failure (1); speaker malfunction (3 - still not fixed); radiator fan thermocouple (1); front pass. seat rail (1); driver seat rail (1). It seems that the "fit and finish" could use a little work, but the styling and vehicle performance are fine. Look at the service record before you buy...

  • my dodge durango - 2000 Dodge Durango
    By -

    My experience with my Dodge Durango has been nothing but positive. The only problem I had was a faulty drivers outside mirror which was replaced by the dealer no charge. Other negatives would be poor gas mileage and at times the ride is truck like but it is all and all a very nice vehicle. Have cruised many miles in the Durango and it gives me trouble free driving.
