  Great Vehicle - 2002 Dodge Durango
  By Jeff - February 23 - 10:36 am

  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.

  Love the Durango - 2002 Dodge Durango
  By flipper - July 20 - 12:45 pm

  Although I have low mileage on this truck, I think it is one of the best vehicles I have owned. Absolutely no initial defects, no trips to the dealer except for the ball joint recall. I tow a 3000 pound boat with the small V8 and have no problems. My only gripe is that I wish the rear glass opened. Its also hard to back up or turn sharply in 4wd on dry solid pavement. I hate the 2005 re-design. They killed the looks.

  02 SLT - 2002 Dodge Durango
  By sylvia - March 30 - 2:55 am

  The Durango is a truck and performs as such! I love mine, have had no major problems at 56,000 miles. It isnt perfect, but for the money it beats anything else!

  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.

  Great - 2002 Dodge Durango
  By neile - December 24 - 2:17 pm

  I have had this 02 Durango since Mar 03, and have put an average of 40000 miles a year on it. I currently have 100000 miles on it. I had one electrical problem with it, no other. It tows great, I am comfortable, but it is a little tight for my big frame. Overall, I love it. I get 17 mpg on avg, but only 9 when towing, which it does a great job of. I put a heavier duty susspension on the rear, which now it rides quite rough (rear hop), but it wasnt bad before I made the change

  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.

  Durangos are good vehicles - 2002 Dodge Durango
  By mike fonte - August 11 - 2:00 am

  Durango has good pick up and engine power when needed. It handles quite well and is compact enough to fit in tigh places. Interior is some what compact. The fold down seats are a plus with the third row it seats 7-8 passengers.
