The thing I don't understand is why Dodge keeps comparing this truck to the Ford Explorer. The XLT Explorer is 4 grand cheaper than the base Durango. Really nice SUV though.
I don't mind unibody SUV's like this cause they actually designed it off a rwd architecture that was designed to be an suv instead of taking a camry and giving it a lift kit.
its funny how many people say this is shit or curse dodge/chrysler for doing something like this. This is probably the hotest SUV on the road right now with so much dam space and a very well proven hem 5.7L. Dont hate the whole company if it doesnt appeal to you, shut up and go buy a SMART if you think this thing is too big, not fuel efficient or dont like Chrysler/Dodge for a retarded reason.

Dodge did a great job with the styling on this rig. Looks like a Charger, Ram and Grand Cherokee had a menage trois. 100% better looking than the truck it replaced!
i like how they test it as a sports car. give it a bloody mountain for god's sake. it's an offroader ( or maybe just a wannabe) but anyway. u can't give a stupid big ugly thing that should go off road only 0-60 tests and skid pads. this review is useless!
Too little too late...does Dodge or should I say American auto makers ever learn? Gas is going north of 5bucks a gallon and they're still building these massive vehicles. Who would be stupid enough to get one of these at times like this??
Got the Durango Express for 31,000. Love it! We needed the extra space for my growing family. By the way the 3rd row can fit 2 adult man in it with room to spare!
I can tell by your grammar and lack of automotive intelligence that you are either retarded, very slow, or a kid. Either way, you shouldn't be driving.......say the same to the 8 retards who gave you a thumbs up.
@robocock21 Wow, testosterone much? I agreed with your post, but your botched the end. No need to roid rage. If you're going to act 12 years old and call people gay I'd like to point out you should be careful of that with a username like robocock21.
It's a Durango vid my testosterone was out of control , sorry. And I only got upset because the little bastard had the odacity to send me a Private message that was worse than his post. Sorry renix, no hard feelings.
Honestly, I love America. I served in int US Marine Corps for 5 years. I will say, however, that the decision to start modeling our vehicles on the more rigorous engineering standards of the European vehicles is a step in the right direction for this copmpany. I love my 2004 Ram, But it could have been made better out of the factory. That's the problem. American autocompanies have narcissisticly sticking to outdated designs in the engine and tranny. That's what killed 'em. A new day, I say
@gamelpj Sir thank you for your service!!! and if you like guns and shooting please visit my page and lets stand together to keep the 2nd amendment alive and well!!! Mr5point56
"handicapped by a five speed auto".....There is nothing wrong w/ the 5spd auto's. They are reliable and take a reasonable amount of abuse and LOVE it. The only reason they want more gears is to conserve fuel by allowing more shifts frequently to reduce the overall engine speed under normal operation. However, if I had one of those 8spd tranny's, I would still run the engine completely through every gear to nearly redline thereby bypassing their attempt to save fuel.
O_O!!!! I would have a really hard time deciding between this, a grand cherokee, and the new charger :) Chrysler is really really steppin their stuff up
The transmission honestly isn't really that big of a problem. Would a 8 speed be better? Of course, but the 5 speed doesn't make this vehicle drive like shit.
In the real world, I often go from 0-60 in less than 9 seconds with the groceries in the car. I turn corners in a heart stopping .23 g's.. gotta throw thE passengers around you know..!! When I see that Cop at the side of the ride with his radar gun, that stopping time of 60-0 in 125feet (@3:02) is a life saver. So, you see that the test numbers here do have applications "iN THE REAL WORLD!!"

Hey I Don't know why they keep ragging on the Transmission. I have Test Driven the the New Durango V6 and I must say I was very impressed. It had alot of go and it was very nice for the the baseline model. They are Stepping up their Game in the new Models. I just want one. The New Challenger SRT8 393(Drool Drool) Thank You Mopar.
Has an easy on the eyes look about it. Much better then the one it replaced. Just to bad it doesn't have the 8 speed auto trans yet. Or at lest the T-6060 6 speed stick shift like the Challenger has. I would prefer the latter one any day...looks like a winner to me !
I would let myself be seen in this. 1st gen I like too, but the last couple have been butt ugly. This looks really well put together. Props to Chrysler-
Good to see that American automotive manufacturers have stopped fucking around. Now lets see if other American companies can do the same. First thing they should do is STOP OUTSOURCING AMERICANS NEED JOBS TO!!!!!!. Ya bunch of cheap money hungry SOB's
Wait till the 8 speed automatic is available, den Im so there, bout time they re-designed the Dodge Durango, hemi powered plz, save the v-6 for grannie.
god, the big three are really making good cars now. i dont like suvs or large vehicles in general, but man it looks good and people might actually want to buy it. Same with ford and gm too.
If I saw this thing from the side, I would assume this was a Toyota Sequoia, since the side views look scarily similar. But once I see the front or back sides, I say, hey, this isn't a Sequoia, it's a Dodge! And what a good looking Dodge! It's based off the new Grand Cherokee, so you know it'll be good. This seems like finally worthy competition for the Chevy Suburban. I wouldn't be surprised it if outsells it, but that may just be something to dream about. Definitely better than Ford

you are going to make a totally new car, make sure to make it from inside to outside, not the other way around....The car looks great, but using an old gearbox or old engine in a "new model" is a Big NO NO and a turn down for the customers. Now they want to use an ultra complex 8 gear tranny? Is that a mule or what? What they have to do is to install a balanced peformance (fuel efficient and power oriented) 6 gear tranny with manual shift option. Fiat knows it, but they dont apply it...
@wtrdogg20 Yes it does. It's certainly a huge improvement over the outgoing model. I think Dodge is going in a good direction with its new products. They still have work to do though in my opinion but it's a great start.
wow this is the first durango they made that actually looks good. And who cares about offroading why would you wanna mess up a nice car buy going off road?
what about it's ability to go OFF road?? SUV owners don't really care about these stats, we want to know about its performance on the mountains, hills, mud, and snow!
I don't understand why everyone bitches that it's using an old 5 speed auto. Just because it's 2011 doesn't mean every car needs a complex transmission with 8 or 9 damn gears. And whey something goes wrong, it's going to be expensive as hell to fix.
Give me this car with an 8 speed and a 410 HEMI (Or a supercharged 6.1 liter) and I'd be happy. Also, those pizza cutter rims need to go, and Im sure, it being a Dodge, the whole braking system needs to be replaced. Other than that, I'd buy this.
@rockey90 yea i do too! i have always loved the Durangos with the SRT8, but im confused... is the new Charger not getting the 6.4? i only see R/T modles with the 5.7
@mojame100 Yeah that would be cool too. We have an 05 Ram with the 5.7 HEMI and I really don't like the feel of it. You have to push the pedal way down to get it to move. It's very unresponsive. I love the way my 4.7 magnum v8 feels in my 02 Durango. It goes with just the slightest touch of the gas pedal and is so much more fun to drive. I've haven't driven the newer rams with the 5.7 so I don't know what they are like but the 392 would be awesome regardless!
I agree with that, not only are the ratios for the 545 REF to tall for towing duty but also the engine itself does not have the type of LOW end torque(4500 RPM)that is needed for a pick-up or a truck based SUV like your Durango.
Has more of that tough ballsy look and similar character lines of the first generation Durango, which was far better looking than the outgoing Durango.
This is a much better ride than the Explorer. Nice truck, very nice.

what about it's ability to go OFF road?? SUV owners don't really care about these stats, we want to know about its performance on the mountains, hills, mud, and snow!

@jeepgayguy i doubt the soccer moms that drive 90% of these care about its off roading

why would anyone want a supercharged suv lmao? its got enough power to tow ur house...if u plan on racing it, you are an idiot.

I don't understand why everyone bitches that it's using an old 5 speed auto. Just because it's 2011 doesn't mean every car needs a complex transmission with 8 or 9 damn gears. And whey something goes wrong, it's going to be expensive as hell to fix.

Give me this car with an 8 speed and a 410 HEMI (Or a supercharged 6.1 liter) and I'd be happy. Also, those pizza cutter rims need to go, and Im sure, it being a Dodge, the whole braking system needs to be replaced. Other than that, I'd buy this.

Our Envoy Denali can keep up with the Hemi, and probably beat it. But, this is a beautiful car nontheless.

Nice! But I wanna see an SRT-8 with the new 392 HEMI. That would be SWEET!
rockey90 1 year ago 46
@rockey90 yea i do too! i have always loved the Durangos with the SRT8, but im confused... is the new Charger not getting the 6.4? i only see R/T modles with the 5.7

@rockey90 Be nice for the Ram.
mojame100 1 year ago
@mojame100 Yeah that would be cool too. We have an 05 Ram with the 5.7 HEMI and I really don't like the feel of it. You have to push the pedal way down to get it to move. It's very unresponsive. I love the way my 4.7 magnum v8 feels in my 02 Durango. It goes with just the slightest touch of the gas pedal and is so much more fun to drive. I've haven't driven the newer rams with the 5.7 so I don't know what they are like but the 392 would be awesome regardless!

@rockey90
I agree with that, not only are the ratios for the 545 REF to tall for towing duty but also the engine itself does not have the type of LOW end torque(4500 RPM)that is needed for a pick-up or a truck based SUV like your Durango.
mojame100 1 year ago
@rockey90 Why not the 425 Hemi for the SRT-8?
goredeathrot 1 year ago
@goredeathrot That would be awesome! I just want to see them come out with an SRT-8 Durango! I think it would sell like hotcakes.
rockey90 1 year ago
@rockey90 I agree! I just think the 6.1 Hemi follows suit with the other SRT-8 lineups (excluding Viper)

@goredeathrot you mean 426 hemi?

Great looks and the new 6 is supposed to be really nice.
That 5.7 is wicked though, you gotta go for that!

i like the new challenger grill but the body kinda looks like a 2004 ford explorer. The rear kinda looks like an bmw x5

Love it! The previous generation looked swollen....bulging in random places and looking like a pug....awful design.

i really dont like it, id much prefer my 05 limited r/t hemi or my old explorer, this looks way to much like a soccer mom mini van,
mrdragking13 1 year ago
Has more of that tough ballsy look and similar character lines of the first generation Durango, which was far better looking than the outgoing Durango.

Dodge did the same thing here as they did with the Jeep Liberty and Dodge Nitro. This is just a "Dodge" look and feel of the new Jeep Grand Cherokee.
