Almost 6000 miles on mine, have had it a year come January (work a lot on the road, the D stays at the airport).
Here's my take:

With the Hemi mileage around town 14-15. On long highway trips 23-24.
Had slight vibration at 62 mph. Dealer balanced and said if that didn't work they would put on 4 new tires. The balance worked great.
No problems with Apple products. UConnect is perfect with iPhone 4S. IPod connects well through system with the USB port under the console armrest.
Did need to replace the ignition security module and reprogram keys--the start button stopped working although remote start was OK. Took a few days for Dealer to find that one!

Good "heavy" ride, big car feel. Have had no other problems. Third Dodge truck I've owned-- (97 Ram 1500, then 03 Ram 2500, now the Durango). My wife likes riding in the D MUCH better, actually so do I. Having all the electronic toys is nice too.

I would certainly recommend, provided you find one with the options you want. Mine is a loaded Crew.

Yes. I don't drive mine every day but for what its purpose and its looks, I would. Sure you can get a Ford Explorer that seats 7 but not a rear biased AWD, that has a Hemi under the hood.

Default Thanks to all...

Thanks to all who contributed with opinon.

It seems that few people suffer some troubles with their Durango but the rest are fine. So I may go for it although I completly agree with dougieb2 that dealer in KSA (United motors) are one of the worst dealer I have ever dealt with. They absolotly junk. I hope if I get mine don't need to get my vehicle into their garage.

thanks once again and wish you all good luck

I would get the grand Cherokee.....


More mods, better options, better resale and it won't be axed in the next couple years

Default Cherokee?

The Jeep is a great alternative but if you need three rows of seats it is out of the running.
