2021 Dodge Durango 392 | A Dinosaur That Hauls

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

It's easy to forget about the Dodge Durango. It has been on the market in its current generation since 2010, but now can only be recommended to a very niche customer with very specific needs. Looking for an easy to park SUV/Crossover that tows 8,700 pounds, does 0-60 in 4.1 seconds, has three rows and launch control? There's a Durango for that. Want the "best crossover in America?" There's something else for that. Why? The Durango isn't exactly a "one trick pony", but it's very close. It just so happens that the one trick I am interested in is done very well in the Durango. So, I bought one.

    "The right vehicle for you" really is how people should be car shopping. Take my mom for example. She owned a 2015 Fit that was practical, reliable and did what she needed it to do. After it was totaled by a drunk driver, she really wanted a Fiat 500 and being a former Fiat tech I helped her shop for a good used one. On an objective basis, there are WAY better cars out there, but she's owned her 2018 500 Turbo for a year and she constantly tells me how it's her favorite car she's ever owned (and she's owned a lot). For someone like her, the small size and quirky design is just what she was looking for. Japanese and South Korean cars are objectively better, but I can tell she is way happier with her Fiat than her dearly departed Fit. As long as the car that tickles your fancy doesn't have any serious problems or an excellent warranty, go for it.

    You're right. My mom is planning on building her own new Maveirck, and I find it so weird how people hate on other vehicles, when no one is forcing them to buy it? My mom personally loves it because the EcoBoost is efficient, tows 4,000 pounds, and it's a really attractive price. She can reach into the bed without hurting her back, and getting in and out is easy. I've seen so many people bash it online, saying that it is bad because it is uni-body, front wheel drive, and a hybrid standard? To me, that sounds like a great little ute! Way to many people buy into a stereotype when car shopping, like they MUST get an $80,000 truck just to show they're valid, or a Toyota because every other brand is unreliable. I wish people would just understand there are different vehicles for different peoples, which is why we all are not driving a gently used Honda CR-V LOL.

    Always find these videos funny. People always chirp about the Durango (weight, chassis age, etc.) then they drive one and laugh. They're hilarious. And the AWD is actually really solid (quadra-trac II--which works great if you use more throttle than youd expect for a given terrain). The interior is comfortable, the brakes are amazing, and my last R/T was owned for 5 years and 100,000km with ZERO (yes, ZERO) issues. Just traded it in for yet another R/T, this one 2022 with the SRT bits and Tow and Go. Would have liked the 6.4L but I refuse to pay over MSRP.

    I owned a new Dodge many years ago. So many things went wrong with it, I'm surprised it didn't give me dysentery. Transmission went out. Unknown electrical problem meant I had to replace the battery every 2-3 months. Low power meant I needed spark plugs and wires replaced; only thing was they had to pull out the whole engine to do that costing me $$$. Door handle came off in my hand. In separate incident, door lock fell out. Sunroof cover was cheap two-piece (of crap) unit; it kept coming out of tracks. Air fan control knob froze in cold weather. I hope you have better luck with your Dodge.

For example, Volvos don’t fail often, but when they do, you can be sure it will be a costly and complex fix.

By their metrics Audi and BMW are below average (and below most American brands), and Mercedes is epically lousy, ahead of just the very worst brands like Fiat and Jaguar. No European brand scores anywhere near the top of the reliability rankings. These brands you praise so much have few of their problems in the first few years, so that newish cars look reasonably reliable, but after that the failures become increasingly common and major, until they fall far behind even American brands. There are very good reasons why Americans think the European luxury brands are trading on reputations they deserved fifty years ago, because their more recent products are not especially reliable, as well as complex and expensive to repair.

Power surveys are the only ones the industry in the US even bothers with. Look those up. Porsche right now is number two. BMW is number 11. Only Buick, Lincoln and Cadillac (unsurprisingly, only luxury brands do well) sit above those. Mercedes is ranked just below average, but Ram, Dodge, Chrysler, GMC, Ford, and Jeep are all below that. The issue with this list is that the US gets very limited European brands and models, often made purposefully worse and cheaper than ones anywhere else and often made in the US or Mexico instead of Europe. Volkswagen is a great example. They make direct injection engines for North America (in Mexico) for models that have switched to dual injection years ago. They also make completely separate models for North America like the Passat, Jetta, Taos and Atlas. They’re absolute garbage.

    Make sure she does normal maintenance on it, like changing the engine air filter and spark plugs. Could be the cause of the poor gas mileage. 16 MPG is really low for that car.

    At low MPG, a difference of 1 mpg is quite big. That translates to about 66 more gallons of premium fuel per 10k miles. Depends on where you are it can cost upward to $200+ more in fuel per 10k miles.

    i love your reviews. They are the best on the net in my opinion. I really love the Durango. I like the looks, the room, and it’s towing capacity is awesome. Two things though: first, when talking about towing capacity can you include payload? Second… the Durango is off my list. I need a tow vehicle to replace my commander. I need the extra seating. But the small offset crash rating is a disaster. And I’m shocked Chrysler hasn’t done a thing about it.

    Terrific review! Do you know if there would be any advantage on the 5.7 litre R/T model with the tow and go package vs this SRT model? For example, does this one have a trailer brake module on the dash like the R/T 5.7 with tow and go? I'm thinking since the tow and go package on the R/T is a $5,000 option I might as well get the SRT which should have all the tow and go extras thx

There is also a population segment who think they know better than Dodge and use non approved grades of oil. Modern tight tolerance engines, especially with cylinder deactivation, need the proper oil and regularly changed. If you get a used one, look for maintenance history and avoid fleet Hemis.

    I just purchased my SRT DD last night, and am extremely excited. For me, the purchase choice was between this, the Jeep SRT0 or originally, the Challenger or Charger. The price points are similar between the Hellcat Charger or Challenger vs the SUV SRT models, but I felt that I would want to park a Hellcat in the winter (I live in Canada) and find a winter-beater vehicle for nearly half the year. To me that just seemed like a lot of money for a car that I would drive for half the year, and as I'm honestly much more confident in the driving characteristics of an AWD SUV, and not at all familiar with that of a RWD Muscle car, the Durango/Jeep options eventually appealed to me over the cars. I appreciate the video, it was very concise and gives a lot of praise to what I believe to be a very underrated vehicle.
