It's in great shap only on rust spot on door and I'm in rochester NY ,salty harsh winters. I'll let you know when we hit 200k on first and 350k on second.

It now has 225,000 and is running pretty well. I haven't had to spend anything on it except for routine oil changes, bj replacement and new tie rods, break pads, and water pump. I wonder how many more miles I can put on it given proper care and maintenance. So, who has the most miles on his/her Durango in this forum?
ive got an 03 durango with the 4.7l and have only 2200$ into it including buying it and it has 376000km on it and ticks but still runs strong as i do alot of long trips and towing my boat. im just waiting for the motor to wear out and then im going to get a newer motor and build it up and turbocharge it.
185317 miles now probs, except the clunking coming from my front diff, I hardly have any rust on the truck and still eatin Chevys n poopin fords off the line. I got edelbrock headers going to a magnaflow exhaust with a cold air intake, my baby's mean.
My 2000 Dodge Durango 5.9 just hit 316,000 miles. My family gave it to me recently so I haven't been the owner all of this time, but from my understanding it's the original engine and transmission. I could be totally wrong but that's what my dad said and if he's right that would be a hell of a feat. Love the thing to death shooting for 350,000 as my next milestone. Going to need to put some work into it forsure though
I have a 2000 durango 5.2 2wd with 270k the transmission went out i bought a whole truck for parts 550 i used trans and front fender i cant complain i only payed 500 for this truck bout a year ago
I just bought a relatively clean 03 with 335K KM on it (208K miles) for $1500. Cost me roughly $250 to fix it up for safety (shocks and brake pads). Truck runs strong and everything works, even the seat heaters. Plan on rebuilding the top end of the motor this summer and we're buying a 20-24' camper to do some light traveling. No unusual noises from the drivetrain and the transmission shifts nice. No vibrations at highway speeds and so forth. I have a little rust to deal with, but only 1 small hole in the rocker panel, the rest is in the door bottoms and hatch which can be easily replaced.
While I am not surprised, people really give Dodge a bum rap. They make awesome trucks.
I have a 2005 Dodge Durango and she has 246225 miles. I haven’t really had to work on her much. All in all beside regular maintainer (oil changes, tires etc) I had to replace heater coil a few years back and just recently had the transmission serviced but other than that I haven’t really had to do anything. So what is the most mile one of these vehicles has had on them? I’m just curious.
No squeaks or rattles at 304,876 miles with no engine rebuild,i gotta pull the tranny and rebuild it as shes a slipp'in on me.Burns no oil or leaks any,forgot 2000 4x4 r/t 5.9
I just noticed this post. You said expensive tires? Maybe compared to a car, but 15in rim truck tires are the cheapest on the market! You get brand new mud tires from walmart for $135 a tire for wranglers, and $88 a tire for regular cheap-o 15's. Try that on any other truck or SUV. My 04 Yukon takes 180 a tire.
I wouldn't take those Goodyear Wranglers you mention if they were free..... you get what you pay for. I have bought 3 sets of tires this year for 2 Dakotas and my Durango, put Cooper AT3s on the Dakotas and got a too good to pass up price on a set of Pirelli Scorpions for the Durango. Trucks both 15" Durango 265/70-16... 1st set of Pirellis but for the price, I thought ID try them... about 1/2 of what most sell these same tires for///
on the 4wd Dakota went from 235/7515s that were definitely well worn, to 265/70-15s.... (real close to same as 31-10.50's)
