  • What a SUV - 2004 Dodge Durango
    By -

    Great on Performance and Control. What a big difference from the 2002 models. Stiffer frame makes the handling amazing. This D. rides more like a minivan than a truck. The HEMI is the best feature Dodge ever thought of, A+++. Overall.. the Durango Limited is a great buy. I cant seem to slow down!!

  • I love my Dango!!!! - 2004 Dodge Durango
    By -

    First, let me tell you that I have test driven over 10 different vehicles within 2 yrs time and our Durango was hands down the best! When you have a family you need a vehicle that offers versatility- speed, comfort, handling and safety.That is what the Durango gives you, I have the Hemi(of course)and its the Ltd. We also own a 99 Mercedes CLK430, so we know plush and you can definitely see where Mercedes have their input on making a Dodge. There is plenty of leg room, we have the DVD system and my kids love that, all of the controls are easy to use. Let me put it this way-If youre lucky enough to own a Durango then youre lucky enough!! If you get one, you wont be dissapointed.

  • Horrific Brakes / Cheap Interior - 2004 Dodge Durango
    By -

    The truck has been back to the dealer 5 times for the brakes. They have replaced the front rotors twice, but re-surfaced (worthless) them the other 3 times. Every time they treat me like Ive been abusing the brakes, and theyre doing me a favor by fixing them again. Ive called DCs 800 number, and theyre worthless, referring me back to the dealer. For the record, Ive never even made a panic stop with the truck. I try to "baby" the brakes at all times. For the record, Im a Kenworth owner/operator, pulling very heavy loads daily, and know more than the average driver about "saving brakes". Ill never own another Chrysler product. This is the 2nd time Ive been burned by them.

  • Really Unfortunate - 2004 Dodge Durango
    By -

    My wife and I had to buy a big SUV. We needed the size and safety for our 2 girls. We chose the 2004 Durango for the power, comfort, style and the $3,500.00 rebate. Our Durango was the most comfortable vehicle I have ever driven. Well, as luck would have it, one day a passenger noticed air coming through the door jam of the left rear door. A few days later, my wife felt the Durango try to drive away while she was stopped at a red light. Our new SUV was in the shop 6 times within 3 months for the same air conditioning problems . To sum it up: I successfully hired a lawyer to get all my money back under the California Lemon Law.

  • Love that Durango! - 2004 Dodge Durango
    By -

    Had it a month. Im in love. And this from a guy who traded in a Mustang GT convertible. Eased the transition with the 5.7l Hemi and the sunroof.

  • Just got it & so far love it! - 2004 Dodge Durango
    By -

    I had test drove a few different suvs. Had my heart set on the Chevy Trailblazer SLT. Wasnt even going to drive the durango but thought Oh Well Ill try it. Loved It! More roomy and rides geat! Experienced the first snow already with it and it handled great!

  • I liked it so much I sold the Benz - 2004 Dodge Durango
    By -

    My CLK 430 was in for service and the dealer gave me an 04 Durango loaner. As a car snob was I mad I could not get a Benz, but after about 10 minutes I really liked it, and it didnt even have a Hemi! After having it all weekend, I found it to be one of the best cars/SUVs I have ever driven. Two weeks later, I traded the Benz in on an 04 Limited (I did have to get the Hemi), and have loved it ever since. Before I bought it, I did test drive all the others, and they could not even come close to this car. The Hemi is a must, but dont test drive a Hemi with plans of getting the smaller engine, because you wont. Ride is great, POWER is the best and comfort could not be better.

  • my rating of the 2004 durango - 2004 Dodge Durango
    By -

    I traded in my 2003 dodge durango for the 2004 one. I have had a lot of problems with it since. I had to have the battery replaced already and it only has 5000 miles. The check engine light came on so I took it to the dealership, they say they cant find anything wrong with it. It shakes really bad when idling. The noise level is deafening. It sounds like your in a helicopter with 1 window rolled down driving 60mph. My car shakes when you get up on speed driving down the highway.There is no problem with traveling in this SUV. I do kinda wish that I didnt trade my 2003 durango in, I never had any problems with it. Maybe it will grow on me.

    I have owned this vehicle for 6 years. It now has high miles and is showing rust. It is a big full size SUV that is very comfortable and all wheel drive has great traction in Wisconsin winters.
