It is very comfortable for a big family and has an easy ride.

I have a 2011 dodge crew hemi. It is perfect size for my family. I do hate that it does not get good gas mileage.

Ann T

Has plenty of legroom even in third row, and for SUV gets decent gas mileage.

I like the room that the Durango has. I like the power and the fact that if I do not need all 8 cylinder it drops down to 6. I do not like how low it is to the ground on front end, have replaced front skirting and the front collision sensor twice.

2011 much safer than the 2019.

I have only owned my vehicle for a few months, but find my 2011 Durango to handle much better than the 2019 I had. I feel much safer in it and the drive is much smoother. I have also found it to be much more reliable. The safety features believe it or not, seem to be much safer as well.

Cannot find out what is wrong with my SUV.

I love the features that it has and the style and how much space it has, and I like how they do not use aluminum body to where it rusts easily, we have had to take it in because the air conditioning keeps coming on when it feels like it and they cannot seem to find out what is wrong with it. Also when we pull into our driveway, we hear a big thump and the mechanic cannot find what is wrong with it. Because you have to go up the right height of a curb to hear it.

It is a great truck. Love how big it is.

I love my truck. It is the best car I had. And the first truck I had. Will not go back to another car. Only trucks. And it have to be a six roll to seat 7. It is great for family road trips. And just going out with the crew and guys. I plan on getting a newer years in the next year or two.

James P

All wheel drive option works well in the snow.

Good gas mileage. Lots of room. AWD works really good. Vehicle moves great in the snow. Owned for four years and had no problems, besides regular maintenance.

katie F

Lots of room and options, I have Citadel model and would purchase again

Love the space and all the tech options! Smooth ride and easy third row access Lots of recalls always at the deAler.

Jennifer C

Best SUV for your family needs.

I love my Durango! It is the perfect SUV for big families. Great for long trips and visiting family who live far away. I wish they made more room for the 3rd row and a better way to get into the back seats. No issues in 3 yrs just normal maintenance. So comfortable and luxurious.

Sarah W

The car holds its value and is a very easy car to drive in all kinds of weather.

I like that it has enough seats for my whole family. I dislike how many buttons and gadgets it has and how much gas it consumes.

Casey L

R/t- fast and leather interior.

Not good mpg. Transmission does not last long. Has good leather interior. Navigation system is old and needs updated. The AWD get stuck in 4 low sometimes. It is a reliable car but I do not like it. If I had to choose again I would have not bought this car.

Felicia T

The car is rugged, takes a lot of miles. Never had major engine problems.

I like the size and model of the SUV. I dislike the numerous manufacturer recalls. Too many service appointments and rising maintenance costs.

Peter S

Likes and dislikes of my dodge Durango.

It's a good vehicle for the most part but I am really a truck man. The Durango is good for hauling small things such as groceries but not good for hauling things like lumber and such. It does work great for hauling kids and other passengers. I personally would like to have two vehicles.

Joshua H

Great used vehicle for the price.

Love this car. It does have a short somewhere that causes a multitude of problems occasionally. I think it's due to accident that wasn't reported through. But other than that it's probably the best vehicle I've ever bought. Gas mileage could be better and I feel like it should sound tougher seeing as how it got a hemi.

Clarissa C

Durangos are great! Always in good shape and it's my baby!

Its comfortable, reliable, good gas mileage and it rarely needs more work than an oil change. It's been my car for three years now and I love it. I highly recommend it for a family or even single use. Cheap on gas and always reliable. It gets me where I need to go and back with absolutely no issues.

Corina R

It has issues that need to be taken care of. We have had several recalls on it.

It runs good now but it has had a few recalls. Dodge was really good about getting them taken care of.

Melissa C

There have been lots of recalls. Make sure they are all taken care of before you buy.

There have been a lot of recalls on my vehicle. Right now the AC is out and haven't been able to get it fixed. If it didn't have problems, it would be a good car.

Great overall purchase for family travels.

My Durango has been very reliable since I have owned it. I have made a few modifications to the vehicle in order to tune it to my liking. It was very easy to add different things to it. I have had no major issues with the vehicle as of now and the ~50k miles I have put on it.

Jennifer R on June 15, 2021

2011 much safer than the 2019.

Pros from Owners

Rayna C.

The size, how it drives, the way it looks inside and it had eco gas option and I liked that it had low miles when we bought it and that you can tow things with it. The body of it is not metal so it does not rust like the ones did years ago.

Cons from Owners

Rayna C.

That we have had to take it in to get looked at a few times and the problem stops before they get to look at it, the price of the tires and the price if anything needs to be fixed because bigger vehicles cost more for some reason.

Is The 2011 Dodge Durango A Good Value?

I paid 43,000 for mine brand new. Which, in my opinion, is a decent value for the amount of features on it.

Michelle W.

The cost I gave for mine when we bought it was $22,000. I believe a new model would cost you about $35,000. I believe that is a good value for what you get in a Dodge Durango.

Theresa L.

36,000 when I purchased brand new. Yes I truly think the car has good value. It is not the top model but has definitely met my needs and serves my family well. Would definitely purchase again.
