1998 Dodge Durango SLT review from North America
"Smooth ride perfect for the not so small family on the go"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing!
I have yet to have one single thing go wrong.
I cannot say what the first owner had go wrong as it was a dealer buy.
The truck is in tip top shape.
General comments?
I replaced an aging Chevy Astro with the Durango for many reasons. The stylish look of the Durango is a real head turner even for a 98. I had been looking at other vehicles as one reviewer said there are not a lot of them out there as used vehicles. I love the quiet smooth ride and all the options makes it an even better vehicle for the money and horsepower.
The gas mileage sucks, but for a V8 was told by other truck owners 15.6 on street and highway is really quite good.
I have no complaints with my Durango. I have 3 kids, it fits us fine with room for stowing other things and groceries to boot in the back. I am looking forward too many more miles with my Durango and the repairs that will eventually come. I purchased my truck from a dealer for 14,427 and I feel we got a great deal for it! My husband and I are a Mopar family, and will continue to be.
