  Great SUV - 2002 Dodge Durango
  By DS - July 2 - 4:30 pm

  Bought this vehicle new in 01. Have had zero problems and Im very happy with the performance of the 4.7 engine. Towing a 17 foot boot is a non-issue. The gas mileage is ok. The paint has put up with the everyday use and its kept outside 24/7. The rear end is a little loose in the snow while in 2wd. Other than that a real nice ride for this car. Plenty of go when needed.

  Excellent Vehicle - 2002 Dodge Durango
  By thestuff - June 27 - 12:02 pm

  Ive put about 40,000 on my Durango thus far and must say I love it still. Rugged, nice ride with plenty of creature comforts for the family. The 4.7L engine is more than adequate. Only repair Ive had to do so far is replacing a cracked vacuum hose. Beyond that, its been a very reliable vehicle.

  DeeDee Durango - 2002 Dodge Durango
  By Daddy dan - March 22 - 4:47 pm

  My little DeeDee. I loved this truck, right up to the day my wife totalled it out last week. Great ride, great looks, very comfortable. We went across the country twice in it, and had a great time. On time, at 12,000 miles a solenoid in the trans went out. That was the only problem in over 60,000 miles. Good power, good towing vehicle. It sounded good too, and didnt have a Hemi. Just a little baby 4.7. I just a bought new one, although its not as cool looking. My wife survived a 50 MPH accident in this truck, with NO injuries. Her lipstick was even still in place after the air bag hit her in face. She walked out just fine.

  Every now and then you get a vehicle that you really like. This is only the second vehicle I have had that experience with. I put about 25,000 miles per year on it and it has never let me down. The amenities in the plus package make it a luxury SUV. The power makes it a real work horse. I plan on driving this one until the wheels fall off which at the rate were going will be a loooong time from now.

  We love this truck - 2002 Dodge Durango
  By Matt - September 21 - 12:40 am

  Weve taken 2 long trips with this truck and have no complaints. Its comfortable, quiet, and we get 20 mpg on the freeway (running semi-syn 5w-30 oil and a K&N air filter). Plenty of power, excellent handling, excellect 4WD capabilities, comfortable 3rd seat (more comfortable than my parents Yukon! and you dont have to pull it out!) We highly recommend this vehicle to all our friends with kids-- and without. I have no idea why anyone would get the Hemi, it has plenty of power for the frame size. A/C works very well, even when its 110 out. Dodge really thought this one out. Weve had 1 repair the whole time we owned it, it was not critical it just bugged me.

  Great truck - 2002 Dodge Durango
  By Warren Johnson - February 8 - 3:26 pm

  One paint flaw and a transmission electric doo- hickey have been the only problems. This is my fifth Dodge. I really am a Dodge guy and this is one of their best. I am not too fond of the new body style though and will probably get a truck next. The gas mileage smokes the Ford and Chevy SUVs and it doesnt look like a big box. I tow a hybrid trailer on camping trips and am close to the GCWR and am very pleased with my performance. Get 9-13 mpg depending on terrain.

  Love It!! - 2002 Dodge Durango
  By SLT Plus - November 2 - 2:00 am

  I purchased this vehicle used and so far have nothing but good things to say. Drove 80 mi. back home from the dealer I purchased it from and yielded a surprising 19 mpg. (highway) with the 5.9 engine. Pretty good considering the other reviews I read. Although I didnt use the overhead computer (I calculated the mileage manually). City driving so far has been 13-15 mpg. Im getting the mileage I expected (it is a SUV after all). Great comfort,great ride,good sounding radio,spacious and good looks.

  Best vehicle I ever had - 2002 Dodge Durango
  By In the Sun - June 14 - 2:00 am

  One cannot expect great gas mileage from an SUV. Other than cost of gas I have no complaints about this vehicle.

  Great 7 passenger SUV - 2002 Dodge Durango
  By Great Durango - May 30 - 2:00 am

  I have the truck for 2 months and its a pleasure to drive. There is plenty of room for 6 adults. The third row seat is ok for adults on a short trip, Ok for kids on a long trip.
