This Year's Model Updates:

Like its sibling, the Dakota, the Durango gets a new trim level dubbed SXT that serves as the entry-level Durango. Other improvements this year include side-curtain airbags, a five-speed automatic gearbox and an optional DVD video entertainment system.

Pros:
  • Commodious cabin, newly optional side-curtain airbags and DVD video, capable performance on-road and off, aggressive styling.
Cons:
  • Some cheap interior trim, high fuel consumption.

  • Well Done Dodge !! - 2002 Dodge Durango
    By -

    My 2nd Durango.My RT has everything, a powerful engine, full time AWD plus 4HI and 4 LO, when you need it in slick conditions or pulling your boat out of the lake. It comes standard with a high performance exhust, a upgraded suspension and rack & pinion steering so you can really feel the road, unlike some other SUVs. Dont settle for anything less than the R/T if you can afford it. My fuel mileage avgs between 10-11mpg around town and 15 on the highway

  • This SUV saved my life - 2002 Dodge Durango
    By -

    I loved my Durango before my accident but now I can really recommend this auto. While driving my Durango I was hit head on by a Ford Expedition (monster SUV) going 45 mph. Thanks be to God, I and the Expedition passengers were uninjured, although bruised and shaken. The airbags deployed and the fact that I was wearing a seat belt helped me survive. This SUV performed as it was supposed to in a collision. Although I have a choice to purchase any SUV I am going to get another Durango because it has been proven to me that it is a safe SUV.

  • Great Truck - 2002 Dodge Durango
    By -

    Nice truck, big enough to carry my wife and 3 kids. would be nice to have a little more cargo space when the 3rd seat is occupied. Fun to drive and easy to park, unlike my full size blazer and other monster SUVs I driven. I highly recommend.

    I think all you people you say that the durango needs a 5.2 intead of a 4.7 dont know what your talking about. we have a 1998 5.8 durango in great cond. and the 4.7 drives and feels alot better. The AC in mine is alight not that much different then in the 98. but the 4.7 model is lot lighter feel and it alot faster then 5.9 was new. they really but alot of work in the new engine. it also had a Benz feeling in it. its not as truck feeling as the 98 had but still nice. handles in off roading better then 98, really fun to drive, better then any ford or chevy can do.

  • My second Durange - 2002 Dodge Durango
    By -

    This is one of my favorite vehicles ever. It is actually an SLT Plus with the 5.9. The new Durango is my second I had one of the first 1998s. I think the exterior design and shape is by far the nicest among SUVs, especially in mono color. I put 154,000 miles on the 98 and had NO PROBLEMS.Lots of truck for the money. I might even buy a third on in a couple of years.

  • Liking what I see - 2002 Dodge Durango
    By -

    I fell in love with the Durango when they first came out. I have yet to buy one, though. I am planning a purchase in the next year or so, and am looking at the Durango and the Mercury Mountaineer. I keep leaning towards the Durango. I like the seating capacity and the look of it. This will be my first SUV purchase and am looking forward to it. I am also looking forward to the new, revamped version coming out next year!

  • Great Upgrade! - 2002 Dodge Durango
    By -

    I had a 2000 Dakota and loved that truck. This is a great step up on features and performance. We have done a lot of looking around at the other SUVs out there and this was still my first choice. The trade off between features and gas economy was no sacrifice compared to the other SUVs. Very stable in the curves and on rouph roads. Lots of room inside.
