Overview & Reviews

The 2008 Dodge Durango receives a few updates. An available next-generation 4.7-liter engine debuts. It's more powerful and reportedly more fuel-efficient than the previous V8. A single-speed transfer case can now be specified on select 4WD models -- basically, that means you can get a Durango with all-wheel drive. Limited models are dressed up with bright exterior trim, while new radio options, Chrysler's MyGIG infotainment system and a rear backup camera are also now available. Finally, the Durango, like other Chrysler products, now has a limited lifetime powertrain warranty.

• Powerful V8 engines, smooth ride, respectable handling and off-road ability, generous cargo and towing capacities, intuitive controls.

• Poor fuel mileage, subpar fit and finish inside, cramped second-row legroom.

  Loving It - 2008 Dodge Durango
  By asgard - October 14 - 2:36 pm

  Great SUV, Hemi MDS works great, avg. around 17 mpg highway driving with cruise set at 55. Had an 2001 Durango SLT, traded it for 2006 Jeep Liberty, was not happy with Jeep, kept it 2 years. With 0% for 72 months and 2000.00 rebate, could not pass up the Durango. Driving Jeep made me miss the ride of a larger SUV.

  Power, Luxury, Looks and Handling - 2008 Dodge Durango
  By Absolute Glassworks - September 3 - 4:55 pm

  I test drove the Limited model with intentions of buying a cheaper model. After the test drive I was hooked! Leather interior, Hemi power, mygig w/rear tv for the kids, are all features I decided we had to have. Laminated glass really makes it quiet inside. And the hemi power and the 18" wheels make it a awesome performance ride. The fuel saver mode on Highway really saves on the gas too. Rear camera and park assist, along with the power tailgate and sunroof were extras that I wouldnt have picked but are really nice to have. I test drove everything in its class and this vehicle wins hands down! I look for reasons to take it out for a spin, its that fun to drive!

  2008 Durango - Great Truck - 2008 Dodge Durango
  By Cooter - July 17 - 12:19 pm

  What a great vehicle. This truck drives and handles like a luxury car and is quiet. Almost 19 MPG on the HWY isnt too bad either. Not sure why I dont see these advertised. Gives me plenty of room to travel with a family of 4 and large dog.

  Good value for the money. Pulls my camper and hauls two adults and five kids with two dogs with no trouble.
