Suspension - Weak shocks and springs cause it to bob around like a boat on rough sea. Also sets to high with 18" wheels. Needs more leg room in middle seat/

2006 Dodge Durango Review:
I love this vehicle, fun to drive,handles and drives like no other truck, tight and responsive, and the ride is oh so smooth. Let's not forget that Hemi it,s a gotta have, The interior a little plain could use more eh..style? but its nicely put together and very functional. Exterior nice all around, you learn to love the pinched snout (that's where the Hemi is) 2007 will bring a new nose. Now it's Achille's heel. Gas mileage window sticker 13 city 18 hwy. My avg 12.2 cty 21 hwy now i gotta say the right foot is a little Hemi happy. In these $3.00 bucks plus fuel days I sometimes yearn for a car again. But, it is a truck, and it sucks fuel like one. would I recommend it ? Yes

Door opening detents. They spring back too quickly in close quarters.

2006 Dodge Durango Review:
Analyzed the difference in mileage between the Durango Hemi 2WD vs. the Tribute 2WD we owned. Based on our actual experience, over a 2000 mile trip at $3.00 per gallon, we would pay approximately $35.00 more to drive the Durango. More room, more power, improved interior services such as third row seating and rear heat/ac controls. Bang for buck, the Durango is larger, quieter, stronger, more powerful. Only a slight increase in insurance coverage ($5.00/mo.) over the Tribute. $390 more for fuel on an annual basis. I think it's worth the price for the increased safety, comfort and carrying capacity. Point of clarification, we own the 2005 Durango SLT 2WD with the Hemi engine. Thanks.

Pros: What do you like about 2006 Dodge Durango?
i like the 4.7 V8. I've only had a 4cyl and a 6cyl in the past. It's very powerful and can get any job done that you throw in front of it

Cons: How would you improve 2006 Dodge Durango?
I think that a bigger more aggressive tire package would help sales for the more adventuresome buyer.

2006 Dodge Durango Review:
I recently bought my Dodge Durango in the end of Aug. The Durango is the best out of them all. From its new spacious design to the 4.7 under the hood its an all around great car. (the only bad thing was that on 9-3-05 some lady rear ended me leaving me without it for three weeks.) Also for the price of the new Durango you can't find a better ride with all the standard features that are expensive options on other suvs Grab life by the horns go DODGE!

Pros: What do you like about 2006 Dodge Durango?
Obviously the Hemi engine. I listed the rest above. Also like that the rear doors open 90 degrees. Makes the back seat very accessible.

Cons: How would you improve 2006 Dodge Durango?
Make the Hemi 400 horsepower!

2006 Dodge Durango Review:
I just picked this vehicle up and it's a dream. The HEMI is very responsive and it drives like a dream. Kind of like driving a recliner down the highway. Got the loaded out Limited with navigation, 6 disk changer, Sirus Satellite radio and DVD player. It's Inferno Red which I guess is a new color for this year. Heated seats, love the auto climate control too. I has the tip start feature to which works pretty good. I always have a confident feeling while driving this Durango. I've read other posts here before deciding to buy and a few listed gas mileage specs. I've got over 1000 miles and the average economy on the highway is between 18 and 20 mpg. I supposed a heavy foot could change that

2006 Dodge Durango Review:
The Durango is a fantastic vehicle and a great value. I bought an '05 model, got a $7K rebate and a very low interest rate. My Durango is an incredibly powerful vehicle that's very comfortable and a joy to drive. I recommend the Durango for anyone who needs a vehicle that handles like a car, can pull a large boat or trailer, seats seven, and (truly) goes off road. In the past 25 years, I've owned a Chevy K5 Blazer, a Suburban, a Ford Explorer, and a Nissan Pathfinder, all were 4x4. I rate the Durango the clear number one with the Pathfinder second, the Ford third and the GM products last. The Durango is number one in the $25-55K price range. Definitely drive one before buying any other SUV.
