My wife wants a new car and she likes the looks of the Durango. I don't think I can can talk her into the R/T so it will most likely be mid level with the V6. Anyone have experience or opinions?
First question is do you have any kids and how old? Reason I ask is to be sure and take them into consideration when buying a suv if they are young enough. My wife recently switched from the Charger to an Suv but in the end didn't choose the Durango. Funny thing is while she like the looks and driving of the one she ultimately chose she is constantly comparing it to the ease of use features of the Charger. When I test drove them I was very comfortable in the Durango because it really felt like I was sitting in the Charger. Everything as far a user interface is very easy to use, not confusing and within easy reach. Many of the others use hard to read touch screens or even worse small buttons. Biggest issue we had was the fact she wanted three person seating in the second row and it was not available in the configuration she liked. The rear seats were a bit on the low side for anyone over the age of 8 to sit comfortably for any period.
As far as dependability I can only compare it to my 14 Charger which is now at just shy of 49k with the only issue that I have had being the backup camera failed about 7 months after we got it.
