Dodge Durango

Pros

• The Pentastar V6 is actually pretty solid, and that ZF8 trans is used in lots of premium cars. Durango gets hate mostly from the old Chrysler reputation days, but newer ones are much better.
• the Durango is very fun to drive.
• I would get one over the Highlander just for the driving enjoyment and much better infotainment experience.
• We had the current generation Durango for about five years. No quality issues whatsoever. That platform is so old that there’s nothing really catastrophic happening with them anymore. They drive great.
• the Durango is actually a stand out fun car to drive when it comes to large vehicles. It’s a shame the reliability doesn’t compare to other large vehicles since I think it’s one of the most exciting vehicles of that size.

Cons

• The engine is kinda sluggish for it's weight and it's dated but it's probably the best option out of this
• Don’t forget; the Durango crash test results are horrible. Look for something safer for your family.
• When it comes to driving, the Durango is a far better experience. They are large, powerful and actually handle well for their size. They are actually fun to drive. When it comes to owning, that is a whole other story. They are known for...
• Overpriced junk and they don't even work well (Dodge Hornet, nearly every Jeep on sale), are way too old (Dodge Durango, Chrysler Pacifica)
• dodge is initially cheaper but has higher maintenance costs
