1999 Dodge Durango SLT review from North America

Replaced battery at 125,000 miles (4 years)

ABS processor failed at 100k miles (not repaired)

Replaced ball joints and related parts at 135,000 miles (5 years)

I have been very happy with this truck. I drove 25k miles per year for the first 4 years of ownership in hot Texas, now about 10k miles per year in the Pacific North West.

I tow a 6,500lb boat a couple of miles every few weeks (this is above the recommended tow capacity) and have not had a problem. (I use 4WD Low setting).

It has always had oil and fluids changed when recommended and all regular services.

I had ball joints etc. replaced at around 135k miles, a reasonable duration given the service I have put this truck to.

Only major problem that I have not resolved is ABS does not work. I hated the ABS processor anyway, it is far too slow to be truly effective and I now operate the vehicle with perfect brakes - but no ABS.

Mechanic friend says that many owners neglect maintenance and suffer (or sell to sufferer!) as a consequence.
