2005 Dodge Durango Consumer Reviews

I bought this top of the line 2005 Durango in 2017 with over 200k on it, but in excellent condition for $3500. Seemed like a good deal then. Now, at 321k, it is still running great and still getting 20 MPG combined, with 24 MPG or better HWY due to the Hemi fuel efficiency. No complaints here! Most new V6 engines in an SUV dont get that MPG! The 5.7 Hemi is the best engine Dodge/Chrysler ever made from my experience, and I would love to buy a Magnum with it too. I never had the ticking or knocking issues that others had. Now the CONS: The rear end pinion gear bearing blew out at 300k, and it is a known problem with the same rear end in the 1500 trucks. That cost over $1000 for a rear end rebuild. It has gone through 3 fuel pumps at $400 or so each with labor. I replaced the radiator myself for under $100, and it was easy. New water pump for $250 with labor. A new transmission shift solenoid module for $500 with labor. The PROS: I would buy this same or any vehicle with the 5.7 Hemi in a heartbeat if I could find one for under 5k. That's really hard to find now with this current used car market. I think this 2005 era was the Chrysler/Daimler/Benz era which is no longer here. The paint still looks almost new since it has been mostly garage kept and maintained. I have gotten way more than my money from this vehicle and will keep it until it dies, but I'm hoping it makes it to the 400k mile club before then.

In 250,000 miles, other than normal maintenance, I: * Replaced the radiator once * Replaced the belt tensioner once * Replaced the fuel pump once Those three times are the only times in 18 years the car ever broke down on me. Only sold it because gas prices got high and it's more costly to insure than it's worth.

Rde runs great no dents I never had any issues with the car has trailer hookup ready to go nbcxdfyyi bbcxdyukm mnbvcxdfnk v n v njhf kkhggn

Hemi Engine Ran Amazing I ran outta gas

I bought this truck 4 years ago and it still running I only have to fix small issues like tires, fuel pump, brakes etc

The vehicle has everything an SUV should and options that go on for days. Vry smooth ,plenty of power comfortable to rid in nd range of view is well as well

The issue they have are electronic all can be fixed .They have to be fixed or reset by the dealer only .They have had 9 recalls so far mainly Airbag recalls & dealer has taken care of the recalls no issues after that .The Durango is a comfortable 8 way power seats the power seats fold almost flat if u choose to take a nap along road trip .The DVD factory plays good if you kids like to watch movies in back seats . The 5.7 hemi v8 has a lot power and smooth shifting .Gas MPG are not great but it is a hemi v8 . The sunroof lets fresh air in nicely .The 3 & middle seat fold down flat so u can haul bigger stuff like lumber . It has a tow package gear also .has tilt wheel nice and limbar in seats nice .all 4 wheels disc brakes .Overall i give it a 3 star

There's two bolts on the motor mount or the exhaust the heads are broken off if they need bored out it has an exhaust leak that's coming off the block to the manifold, in good shape as far as running Condition. I will.offern1000 dollars cash
