Description: The 2011 Dodge Durango is a magnificent improvement over its awkward predecessor. In fact, it's one of the best new products from Dodge to hit showrooms this year. While there are other more exci...Add Comments0

Cristian HernandezMar 22, 2011 Yay Simon! <@:-) party hat curly hair smiley face
CarBuzz EditorsJan 19, 2011 @Simon: You're right, thank you for catching that mistake. It is 3.6L.
Simon TrépanierJan 19, 2011 Pentastar displacement is 3,6L, not 3,5L :-)
Patrick SchalkJan 19, 2011 I really like these. Wouldn't mind having an AWD version. Kudos to Dodge
Bill GrayJan 19, 2011 The front end looks orrery good.

Thomas OlmedaJul 17, 2011 Hahahah dude, Ferrari gets 560+ hp out of a 4.5 liter v8. Who cares. Different engines have different purposes. That Ferrari has so little torque. But the 5.7 liter has almost 400 lb ft. But you wouldn't exactly tow a boat with a 458 would you?
Patrick SchalkJan 20, 2011 Yeah it also voids factory warranties. Believe it or not some people actually just drive their cars without doing anything to them
Andy RogersJan 20, 2011 So if somebody doesn't have the time or money for tuning or satisfied with their car, they're a poser? Ok....
So I must be a poser for not wanting to tune my SUV that isn't even mine
Andy RogersJan 20, 2011 @Blake
So if you're not a tuner, you're a poser? So if somebody doesn't want to ruin their car or doesn't want to bring down the value of the car they're getting rid of soon anyways, they're a poser?
Patrick SchalkJan 19, 2011 People who buy these vehicles don't turbo or anything to those hemis. They are meant to be a powerful towing everyday vehicle
John FrumJan 19, 2011 @Andy. Consumers DO like power, but in general, they don't like tuning the power themselves. I mean, Popular Mechanics got the Hemi to 500 hp without a super/turbo.
Patrick SchalkJan 19, 2011 Yeah Hemis will last awhile too. I had one
Andy RogersJan 19, 2011 For reliability, marketing, price, etc.
Andy RogersJan 19, 2011 People have gotten 1000hp from 2.0liter Integras. I don't get why people always complain about power per liter. It's preference. American car companies like BIG engines and they get to choose how much power should come out of it
John FrumJan 19, 2011 The Hemi needs an update. Only 350 (the only is a bit of a stretch) hp out of 5.7 liters? The Ford 5.0 gets 412 out of FIVE liters. Even though the displacement is higher, the Chevy 6.2 puts out 430 hp. The 6.1/6.4 Hemi's quite pricey.
Andy RogersJan 20, 2011 I think he means that as in SUV
Kevin MangusJan 20, 2011 Its either Toyota or Jeep... Chrysler/Dodge owns jeep not Toyota
Description: Fortunately, Chrysler plans to swap the five-speed in the near future. What's strange is that Chrysler already does offer the Pentastar engine with a six-speed auto. Case in point: the Chrysler 2...Add Comments0

Description: In fact, the Durango drives better and has less body roll than the Jeep Grand Cherokee, its platform sharing mate. This due in part to the Durango's five-inch-longer wheelbase. Stability control ...Add Comments1

Well good for Dodge
Nelson Vega JrJan 22, 2011 IMO, it just dosent do anything for me.... :(
Grant AdamsJan 21, 2011 Ummm well yeah the new toyotas do have a bug recall but even the manufacturer BMW had a recall about something in the motor was shutting down and causing the car to shut down in the highway or something like that 2005 - 2009 models don't quote me th
Saul FernandezJan 21, 2011 The transmision is going to get messed up . Plus , it will really be slow on the freeway
Stephen IshardJan 21, 2011 Toyotas only last longer because they get recalled every month
Grant AdamsJan 20, 2011 Like a highlander also but if you look at rear light and rear body shape at this angle you see some highlander and I agree I would take this over a Toyota ANY day even if it doesint last as long
Grant AdamsJan 20, 2011 Yes, the color does make it look l
Patrick SchalkJan 20, 2011 Me either Anthony. I think it's because it's the same color as Toyota you usually see in the commercial. These guys are confused by colors
Anthony SurdoJan 20, 2011 IMO I don't see a highlander look at all
Grant AdamsJan 19, 2011 Sort of looks like a highlander

Daniel FrymanJan 19, 2011 I kinda like the symbol. I hate that they are getting rid of the ram on the cars.
Michael DavidsonJan 19, 2011 That's a weird dodge symbol on the steering wheel

and stop wasting our tax dollars on Sebring/200 and similar crap in the parent brand

Mike BottéMay 08, 2011 Okay. WTF a highlander ant tow. And nor is it based upon a pedal sticking machine. Honestly. If one more person says toyota I'm gonna go in a hospital. Just sayingg
