I purchased this vehicle in Fall of 2007. This was my first SUV. I was drawn to this specific Durango because of the low 18,000 mileage, the excellent body, and the extraordinary pearl white color. I enjoyed this model of the Durango for the strong look of the hoods grill, and the shine to its metal and the Durango emblem nestled in the center. I have had this vehicle for seven years running, and I count my blessings everyday. While I am not the most mechanical of men, I have put in as much as anyone to minor vehicle service and upkeep. I have never been disappointed at inspection time. Most of the repairs on the vehicle have been general...bulb replacements, new wiper blades, spark plugs. There has been several years the only thing I paid for was the inspection. The only major money I have put out has been for new tires. My Durango handles as well today as the Fall day it became mine seven years ago. While I have always taken an advance effort to keep it washed and polished, it has never lost that awesome luster that makes it stand out in the crowd.

I have had my Durango for six years now. We bought it used at 130,000 miles and we now have well over 220,000 miles on it, and it's still running strong. I am one that forgets to change the oil every 5,000 miles and it has never had a problem. Electric seats easily accommodates my shorter 5'4" frame as well as my husbands larger 6'0" frame, making it easy to switch drivers on long family road trips. The third row seat has been great for hauling extra kids to and from sports events, as well as laying it down and doing "large" grocery shopping trips. And the 4x4 has never let me down! However, the Durango is not the greatest commuter vehicle. Low gas mileage hurts on the long commute to and from work.
