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 |

I just got rid of my 1998 5.2 Durango, purchased new. It gave good service and I liked the fact that you could drive and park it around Chicago much easier than trying to navigate a Suburban.
However, for the entire time I had it, it averaged 12.9 mpg (79,000). I gave it to my nephew when his 200,000 Dodge Neon gave up the ghost and he needed another car. I replaced it with a Scion xB, and borrow it back on the few times that I actually need a truck. Makes $3.00/gallon gas a while lot easier to swallow and I have my toys when I want to clear my head. Driving in Chicago just isn't fun no matter what you drive. AC and radio are all that really matter. |
