  • Durango Limited Hemi - 2004 Dodge Durango
    By -

    I have only owned this vehicle for a couple of weeks, but it is far superior to my previous SUV, a Jeep Grand Cherokee. Tons of power, Quiet, and comfortable. Everyone that has been inside it has made numerous comments about how awesome it is. A little better gas mileage would be good though. 12mpg right now. As long as it is dependable I think we will be very happy with it.

    We looked long and hard at the Durnageo, Expedition, and Pilot. The Tahoe wasnt even in the picture. In the end, the Durango had more room and power than the Pilot and was actually less money. The Expedition was bigger and had dual temp control, and a keyless touchpad. The biggest advantage it had was that it seated eight. The Durango had a much better engine-HEMI! It also was quieter and handled better. In the end, it was $5500 less than the Ford which is why we bought the Durango. We have less than a thousand miles on it, but it is getting 16 MPG with almost all of it on the highway. Better mileage than people are getting with the Expedition.

  • Perfect for us - 2004 Dodge Durango

    Durango Limited Hemi is perfect blend of luxury and toughness. My wife and I drove everything in this class and the mid-size class. This was perfect size for us...not too big and not too small. We were replacing a 5-series BMW, so I was planning on a more painful transition. But we have about 6,500 miles on it now, and I have no regrets. In my opinion the Durango is better than the Expedition (nice interior but underpowered) or the Tahoe (nice power but dull interior), and the European and Japanese offerings just didnt cut it.

  • LOVE MY DURANGO - 2004 Dodge Durango
    By -

    This is my first SUV and I love it. Sorry I waited so long to buy one. It handles great and my wife loves it. The ride is so smooth and the engine (HEMI) is so responsive. It is so quick I have to be careful not to accelerate to fast. When I first drove it it scared me!! What a great SUV! I cannot say enough about it and everybody loves the way it looks. I almost bought a RAM 1500 Laramie. Boy am I glad I bought the Durango.

  • I like this Durango - 2004 Dodge Durango
    By -

    Hi, I just bought this vehicle yesterday. Driving it home, I find it to be very comfortable, smooth, and a quite ride. Its a base model, however, it comes standard with many features that you would normally have to pay extra for. It has a v6 but it seems to have plenty of power going up a hill.I bought this for my wife to replace a 95 Voager. Im very happy with it and hoping that my wife will too. Its fun to drive. Is there a manufacturer rebate on this model? We were told that there werent any.

  • The best SUV I have ever owned - 2004 Dodge Durango

    I love the room and the quiet ride. The Hemi is the best engine I have ever owned.

  • LOVE IT!! - 2004 Dodge Durango
    By -

    I have owned Chevy,Ford and Jeep suvs but the Dodge Durango is by far the best! The ride is smooth and comfortable. Handles great! It feels like your gliding going up hills. Powerful engine even without getting the hemi. Takes the bumps in the road extremely well. So far the mileage is better than the Jeep I had which was only a 6 cylinder. I would highly recommend this vehicle if your looking to buy a new suv.

  • Well designed Durango - 2004 Dodge Durango
    By -

    I bought the Molten Red Durango Limited with the Hemi. It is extremely well made and welld esigned. Very powerful engine, fun to drive. The fuel economy around town is about 13.5 mpg; on the highway it is 19-20 mpg. I have only one complaint. the front seats are too narrow and I get a cramp in my legs on long trips. (Im 62" and only a little overweight) The seats need to be about two inches wider; there is plenty of room to do this. Other than that, the fit and finish is excellent; quality is much better than I expected. (this is my first Dodge)

  • Sheer Power On Tap - 2004 Dodge Durango
    By -

    Great SUV. Very happy with the re- design and new look. Have the HEMI motor and couldnt be happier with the power it provides. Gas mileage is dismal but I knew that going into it. I probably avg. around 12mpg city. But I wouldnt even consider the other v-8 or the V-6. HEMI or nothing. I also got the 3.93 axle ratio over the 3.53 Probably doesnt make a huge difference but I know the 3.93 is alittle quicker off the line. Great torque. Nice creature comforts inside. Leather, CD Changer, Heated seats, traction control, sunroof, 380 watt stereo.
