2003 Dodge Durango SLT review from North America
"Best SUV I have ever owned"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Had front upper ball joints replaced as a result of recall.
Underbody seems to be rusting faster than normal.
General comments?
The comfort level is better than any SUV I have ever owned (Explorer, Blazer).
The gas mileage is poor, but I expected that.
Powerful engine and smooth transmission.
Handled the rust problem with an intensive undercoating treatment.
The 4-wheel Disc brakes hit the spot for driving in New York City.
