A friend is leaving town (and the country) and has offered his 2000 Dodge Durango with 77,000 miles to me for $11,000. It seems to be in very good condition ... a fews dings and scratches but it does have a killer sound system (my 15 year old son is sold on that point alone).
Does anyone have experience with the Dodge Durango? We currently have a 1995 Chevrolet K2500 Suburban with 150,000++ miles. With three kids and lot's of stuff to tow the Suburban has been great, but the 10-13 mpg is getting kind of old ... and so is the rest of the vehicle. The Durango seems a bit small ... but compared to a Suburban K2500 most rigs seem small. Any opinions? Thanks Eddie |

Dont buy it...
I have a 2001 with the 4.7. Its horrible on gas. The front end is really skidish (sp). It did go in for the recall on ball joints. I was told the back is 4 feet wide, I specially asked for plywood etc. It's not 4 feet wide. The backseats, 3rd row, are very cramped. I paid just over $14,000 for one with 34,000 miles. The only thing good is it can tow my trailer and the sound system is decent. Other then that I would get a Tahoe or Sub. |
