  Its a gas sucker - 1999 Dodge Durango
  By Igot - October 25 - 2:00 am

  This car is definately a gas hog. Also when driving on the highway it sounds like wind is coming in the front window. Love how it handles and the comfort.

  My Durango has a nickname OUCH$ - 1999 Dodge Durango
  By LBL - June 7 - 3:54 pm

  I really do like it after approximately 30,000 dollars yes 30k. New crate eng, radiator, 2 wtr pmps, fuel pump, brake lines, axle bearings/seal rear, rear replaced, headlight switch, drvr dr motor, etc etc. Now it rides better than the day I bought it, and I still for some strange reason just like it! Go figure. Oh did I say transmission replaced too. LOL tears of joy. Ps. Pass. Side mirror and heater box need diverter switch /core next. Hahaha .

  Love that Dingo - 1999 Dodge Durango
  By mk - April 6 - 3:38 pm

  I just love my Durango, hubby wants me to get a new one but I want to keep this one. The gas is another issue - yes it sucks. Great for hauling kids - lots of them. Wonderful in the snow. Have had to replace the ball joints in both front wheels twice. But still runs good with 135,000. miles.

  The toughest car ever driven - 1999 Dodge Durango
  By Troyboy - December 5 - 3:40 pm

  I am 19 years old and I had this car till about a few months ago, my brother and I both owned this car while we were going through our crazy driving stage. This car has been through so many rivers and ditches and jumps, yet it has lasted better than we could ever imagine! This is the toughest car I have ever seen, wont ever let you down!

  60K mil Report - 1999 Dodge Durango
  By lhowie17 - September 25 - 10:00 am

  We had the water pump go out about 56,000 miles. The tires on the car wear down very fast. Seems like every quarter we are buying a new tire. The air controls dont blow when putting the button on air at the top and feet for some reason. Same problem was happening on our 99 Dakota. Dealer ordered the part but never called again to say in and then it was out of warrenty. The truck drinks gas like crazy!

  Love/Hate Relationship - 1999 Dodge Durango
  By Diverdown - September 7 - 8:29 pm

  I bought this car to replace my aging Dodge Caravan and for the purpose of towing a recently aquired boat. Little did I know what I was in for. I love the fact that it is big, but not a monster. It can hold the family or carry lots of stuff and still fit in a parking space. Both the interior and exterior design are nice on the eye, but it drinks gas like it has a hole in the gas tank and has a lot of quirks that require attention. I have almost 97,000 miles and the leather has held up very well. The problems I have had which I have seen in other reviews is the speedo went dead, found out it was the rear a/c sensor. Eats oil with no idea where it goes, window regulators are sparatic.

  99 Durango Underpowered & Poor Fuel Econ - 1999 Dodge Durango
  By tman300 - April 2 - 10:00 am

  Overall, I like this vehicle. Have 360 cid (5.9L) generating 245 hp with 3.55 rear axle ratio and limited slip differential. One complaint is gas mileage. Although I have meticulously maintained this vehicle from day one, have never achieved sticker stated 16 mpg at highway speeds (55-75 mph). Also, local driving mpg comes in at around 10.5 and not the sticker stated 12 (forget about driving in NYC- 6-7 mpg there). I am neither a leadfoot or a featherfoot.

  Been good to me - 1999 Dodge Durango
  By Corsair - December 31 - 10:00 am

  I leased my Durango in Sept of 99. It was a dealer demo. I had a lot of problems with the dealer during/after the sale & they forgot to mention some details about buying a dealer demo vehicle. Overall I am very UNIMPRESSED with the original dealership & most Dodge dealerships in my area. Otherwise I love the truck. Yes, it gets poor gas mileage but I KNEW it would when I bought it! The only problem I have had was the drivers window regulator stopped working within the first few months. Otherwise I have had no problems. I must have gotten one of the good ones. The vehicle only has 28K miles on it and I baby it (maintenance, washes, etc).

  Good and Bad - 1999 Dodge Durango
  By Good and Bad - April 4 - 10:44 pm

  Very utilitarian. Great for trips and easy to drive around a large metro area. Gas mileage is reasonable. Much better to operate than a large SUV. On the negative side, the transmission went "belly-up", a major expense, the AC has been a problem, and keeping the alignment corrected has been an issue.
