The pickup is fantastic, the handling is better than most vehicles of this size, and the exterior style is macho and unlike anything else out there. 3- the taillight has already filled with water, this is being replaced under warranty but has me concerned about the future. This includes the auto start/stop system sensor and the heated steering wheel sensor. 2- there have been various sensors that needed to be "plugged back in" according to the dealership. It will cut off when using certain pumps, I've had the fuel filler neck and the vapor canister replaced, it is a little better but still not perfect. The trouble areas have been 1- the vehicle fuel filler system is terrible. I have 30,000 miles on my 2018 GT and have been happy overall with the vehicle. I tested a bunch of vehicles and my wife agreed that the VW Atlas and the Durango were the best of the bunch. So when I decided to get a three row SUV, the Durango was on my short list. I've rented dozens of vehicles for work and have always been impressed with the power and comfort from FCA's models (except the 200), but have been hesitant to purchase due to reliability concerns. With a growing family, I needed to get something a little bit larger than my Subaru Outback when we go on weekend road trips. If you have been skeptical of the FCA brand in the past (let's face it there's plenty of reason to be), but you need a good sized SUV, you HAVE to drive the Durango. I think it sounds very good now (not Levinson good, but certainly better than any Bose system). I thought the Beats audio system was terrible, but like many good speakers (I am an audiophile) the system needed to break in, and stretch the speakers a bit. The Durango is so air-tight that you really need to give the door a good slam, otherwise the air pressure prevents the door from closing. The handling is excellent, primarily due to the perfect 50/50 weight distribution, and the rear-wheel bias (its a RWD car when it doesn't need the traction). The 8-speed automatic is sourced from ASIN, the same place that BMW and other high-end manufacturers get their trannys. It rides on a relative of the GL/ML platform from when Daimler Benz owned part of Chrysler (so does the Grand Cherokee). Solid, big, handled well, and quiet as a mouse inside. I had read good things about the 2018 Durango, but I have NEVER been an FCA fan, and swore I would never buy one. I tried a Ford Explorer and didn't like it at all. Some were too small (Toyota), some offered horrible value (VW), some were too much like a mini-van (Honda). I was charged with all of the research and test driving, and I drove them all. We tried to downsize to a wagon, but it didn't work. The grip on the leather wrapped steering wheel. I love the touch screen, it's 8.4 inches of stunning beauty and functionality and it's easy to use. I love the spacious interior and comfy seats with 4 way adjustable lumbar support. I've driven many SUV's and I'll tell you I was skeptical of Dodge. Whoever rates the Durango less than 4 stars overall obviously has no clue. The V6 actually provides good acceleration and I've seen numbers as low as 7.4 seconds for 0-60 compared to the R/T which is 6.8 seconds 0-60 from test results I've read, those numbers are both impressive but not much different.
The acceleration is similar due to the Durango heavier weight. The Durango has 295 hp with the V6 compared to 260 on the Murano.
I traded it in and bought a 2018 Durango GT. After owning the Murano for a year I was disappointed by visibility and leg room for the driver. I narrowed my top 2 choices to the Nissan Murano and the Dodge Durango. I read reviews and watched videos of test drives for months.
