  Powerful - 2005 Dodge Durango
  By steve sherwood - February 10 - 2:44 pm

  Far and away the most powerful vehicle Ive ever owned. Fantastic in snow. Only downside is the drivers seat, it needs to be softer. Other than that its a great auto!

  This Durango really surprises me! - 2005 Dodge Durango
  By Tim in NY - January 26 - 5:18 pm

  All I can say is Wow! What a smooth, plush vehicle with an unbelievable amount of features. The Hemi is just awesome and moves the vehicle effortlessly. The 2nd and 3rd row seats are actually comfortable and easily accessible, and the DVD with the wireless headsets is a blessing for the kids as well as the parents! The Durango Limited has to be one of the best kept secrets in this segment. Im guessing the mediocre gas mileage is what kills the resale value.

  Great! - 2005 Dodge Durango
  By Angel - January 18 - 1:14 pm

  I test drove this to a Jeep Grand Cherokee, I previously owned a Grand Cherokee older model and loved it. When I got in the Durango there was no going back. I have never driven a vehicle that drives so smooth with such comfort. We took it on a trip about 1450-1500 miles round trip we paid just under $220 gas round trip. Less than expected! The only thing I regret about our purchase is that we didnt go for the glory and get the loaded version, hemi, navigation, dvd, but when we trade it in I cant see myself buying anything else. Test drive this before purchasing any other SUV! Im glad I did!

  Best SUV around for less $$ - 2005 Dodge Durango
  By Mike Swan - January 9 - 10:00 am

  I dont know where to start I have seen other SUV that offer some of the same features but they are all more money... for the size and options on this car I think its the best bang for the buck... things like the MP3 player makes me take my hat off to Dodge for their efforts to listen to the consumer. And i love the room.

  NH Durango - 2005 Dodge Durango
  By peter - December 27 - 6:03 pm

  I purchased my Durango in May 2005. This is the first Dodge product I have ever owned I sold and drove Ford products for ten years and never would dream of owning a Dodge product. Well I can honestly say Im sold on this product. The vehicle is so much nicer than any Explorer or Expedition I have owned or driven. Fit and finish are very good and it is quieter than my wifes 06 Honda Accord. It is the perfect size and goes down the highway like a Caddy. I have 6000 miles on it only maintanence is oil changes and tire rotations. No rattles or squeaks feels like it is molded from a piece of granite. Only regret is the 4.7 it has decent power but i wish I had a Hemi. Hats off to Dodge, great SUV

  Great SUV - 2005 Dodge Durango
  By Oliver - December 25 - 10:18 pm

  We went from a Mid Size SUV to yhr Durango and it was the best choice ever. Its fun to drive, the interior is well designed and its very reliable. Fuel mileage is what you can expect from a V8. It was a great buy, seating for 8 easily, comfortable and a very smooth ride. Love It.

  Great 4x4 - 2005 Dodge Durango
  By beecuzz - December 20 - 6:17 pm

  Well I have had quite a few vehicles in my time 56 to be exact --- most of them Chrysler products and my current aquisition is a great one. Comfort, power, room ---- what else can some one ask for?

  Love my Durango - 2005 Dodge Durango
  By Reesie - December 19 - 6:08 pm

  My Durango has EVERY available option, and I absolutely love this car, its a good family car without looking like a family car. The HEMI does use a lot of gas and the gas mileage could be better but I think its worth the little extra it costs to get the powerful engine.

  Durango Review - 2005 Dodge Durango
  By Theresa - December 1 - 9:02 pm

  Even with the low gas mileage I have been very happy with my Durango. Not only is it a comfortable ride, it is also very capable in bad weather. The interior has a lot of room for extra passengers and with the 3rd row of seats folded down there is a lot of cargo space. Going on vacation with 2 adults and 2 children we had plenty of room for everything we packed along with a couple coolers. When extra space is needed to haul bigger items, the 2nd row also folds down. With both the 2nd and 3rd rows folded down we have even slept in the back when weather got bad while camping. Would highly recommend the Durango.
