2005 Dodge Durango

My favorite vehicle ever....

By jenny (NJ) on Friday, May 03, 2013

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 89,900

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10

"Love Love Love this truck. Wish the back was a little bigger. But... we are able to use it with the back seat down when we travel. Just limits passengers. Nice ride. For an SUV it gets good gas mileage, but we knew when we bought it it would be expensive for gas but was surprised when it got better mileage than our ranger. I would definitely recommend this to a friend. Worth every penny so far. We bought it used."

Love this SUV

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 125,000

Pros: "Great looking truck, reliable, tough"

Cons: "bad mpg"

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 9

"Other than its terrible gas mileage, I love my truck. I've had a lot of nice vehicles, but even at decently high mileage, this truck does not fail me. Looks like a champ, runs like a dream machine. Like I said, ONLY drawback to this big beast is the gas mileage."

"i bought this durango new in 05 its a great suv and i like it but it has problems the front end has a squeak and the dealer just replaced random parts till the warrenty ran out the replaced the rear drive shaft axle and torsion bars the swaybar steering box ball joints shocks front a arms torsion bars and they replaced the exaust manifold that didnt solve it so they rebuilt the motor and its still there i know they are just replacing stuff randomly and then they told me the engine had a knock i also had the transmission rebuilt under 100 thousand miles and ive never pulled anything with it the gas overflows and the plastic on the seats broke off and for some reason all the weather stripping is coming off the few goods about the car is its good in sand loaded with features and it is good looking i do take care of my cars and i like all of them i would highly reccomend buying a latter model because mine was an 04 build date and that was the 1st year of this model"
