Yep, the Durango is living on for another year. Why might you consider one of the oldest new SUVs in America? Towing & V8 engines baby. Yep, that's basically the Durango's party piece: not one, not two but three different V8s can be found under the hood, or if you like, a V6 which is the model I rented. I've rented Durangos with the 3. 6 a couple times for longer family trips. Really quite like them. Love the RWD bias. A large fuel tank gives good range. The cargo capacity is quite good. The 2 3rd row seats are reasonable for adults if needed. It feels smaller (particularly narrower) than it is. The V6/8 sp do okay for such a heavy vehicle. Seems more capable for towing. And I love the clean design. Only thing I wish was a bit more ground clearance, but it's not terrible.

If you want to be outdoorsy, the Durango is significantly more rugged than especially the front-drive based, transverse engine'd SUV / CUV competition (Honda. Kia/Hyundai, Toyota, Etc. Not only sharing the basic underpinnings of the Mercedes platform mentioned, also the last gen Jeep Grand Cherokee. Although the vehicle is fairly long, as many vehicles have gotten more bloated, especially in the width department, the older platform means relative narrowness of the vehicle also a bonus both in city maneuvering and parking, and outdoors'ing - compared to otherwise similarly sized vehicles.

Stellantis is nothing without Jeep and Ram sales. I don t see Dodge surviving a decade from now because they re horrible as a normal automaker, without all of their muscle cars and whatnot.
I wouldn t even consider Stellantis as part of the big three anymore

Yes! Yes! Yes please! Please all 3-row unibody SUV manufacturers, offer a 3rd-row delete option! Some of us just want a lot of cargo space! But offer the delete option on ALL trim levels, not just the base model. Thank you Alex, I couldn't agree with you more!

One really annoying thing about this particular uconnect system is that the heated cooled seats or heated steering wheel time out after a few minutes. I really hate that.
Also what does the center buttons behind the steering wheel even do

Absolutley loved our 2018 DDRT AWD but traded it off last weekend, tired of the break downs and horrible dealer service center wait times and customer service, thought an all motor V8 would be bullet proof but we were wrong

This vehicle has aged pretty well, but they could have done so much more to add to this vehicle to make it so much better within the last 6 years. They've only made minor upgrades (Uconnect, front fascia, hood louvers)

The 3rd row delete was probably changed so much because of carryover from the police version. It wouldn't cost dodge much, if any money to change it, hence the change.

I really like the SRT and hellcat models
I do wish there was a trim like the grand Cherokee summit reserve. I d like to see a Tungsten trim like the ram

I've been considering one with the hemi. You can get a decent used one for a reasonable price. If you want to tow, I think it's better than an Explorer imo.

Could be a good SUV for a guy with a couple of young kids and a dog. Looks decent, can put the dog in the way -back, and doesnt break the bank.

To my eye it s super boring and bland, especially considering the tough manly Tim Allen grunts man-child crowd Dodge markets to.
