It's sad to see all the comments disparaging FCA for product quality. I believe them, so you can be sure it was a huge risk when I decided to get my brand new Durango. But I have to say-- 0 problems minus some infotainment quirks and I am super impressed. In 2 years I've put 60K miles on it and frankly it's performed wonderfully
It’s even more funny considering that FCA is now in consumer reports top for reliability. I have pentastar Charger with 122k miles and it’s been excellent. Runs as good as it did the day I bought it
A lot of posts here claiming FCA products are junk. I’m puzzled, because my mother has a 2013 Durango AWD v6 with about 125k miles and that thing runs great still. I drove it and was surprised at how solid it felt on the road. No vibrations. No noises. Very smooth. We took her Durango on a 3000 mile road trip last year to the Pacific Northwest and this year a 1500 mile trip around Lake Powell and Capital Reef in Utah. It’s been a trusty steed for her and for our family trips. She said it’s only needed normal maintenance.
yanboa Consolidated data is flawed to anyone who’s personal first hand experience says otherwise. Besides, how is consolidated data even relevant when a person already has personal experience?
Two corrections: 1) The SRT does have cylinder deactivation. Same as the 5.7. In both the R/T and SRT, this feature can be disabled. Only the Pentastar V6 engine lacks this feature. In the SRT, you configure cylinder deactivation in the Uconnect, unlike the R/T where there is a button. 2) The steering wheel paddle shifters are 100% metal. I know you said they "feel cheap and plastic". That might be true. But they are metal. I've replaced the standard ones with the SRT version. They are definitely metal.
TheCondoInRedondo Many...MANY errors and "typos" here, but usually only on FCA vehicles. SHOCKED the Durango did not "smell like a rental car". And you are correct. MDS is defeatable on all 5.7 and 6.4 HEMI engines and has multiple driving modes. And the paddles are indeed metal. A little small for me, but metal nonetheless.(not plastic like a few of the beloves luxury cars that are reviewed here)...
@@hellkitty1014 Sorry to be late responding. I replaced the small paddles with the larger SRT paddles. You can obtain a L/R pair of complete SRT paddle/switch assemblies on eBay for $100. Then, just unscrew the SRT paddles from those switches and install them in place of the paddles found on the R/T and GT.
I have a stock Infiniti Q60 and I raced an FBO Durango SRT from a dig. I got absolutely demolished! to see a big SUV move that fast with a simple NA setup against my lighter twin turbo car was crazy! These SRT guys weren't messing around when they made these things.
I have to say that FCA is the only (albeit not fully) American brand/organisation that knows how to design a good looking product. The interior and exterior designs are definitely best in Dodge, Chrysler and Jeep models.
Dodge has always offered it's customers bang for your buck. After the warranty expires, the engine goes bang and you spend all of your bucks repairing it.
Yoooooo lmaooo very true FCA is garbage owned a 15 scatpack and with 46k miles on it seat sensor issues, check engine light randomly coming on and worst of all shitty mpg in the city.
FCA has invested in solid power trains and great ZF transmissions. The quality is up. I recommend a Durango. I’ve had my Durango for almost three years and never had to take it back from any problem . I can’t say the same for my wife’s Toyota. Thanks for sharing review.
Sounds like your durango is still a baby. Those things hit 100k miles and immediately die. I love dodge but if I cant squeeze north 200k I can't pull the trigger.
Chuka Nweze there are many factors effecting longevity of a vehicle. ZF transmission is aces. The engines are natural aspirated and beefy enough to take a beating. I do baby it with scheduled maintenance as I hope everyone does.Gimmicky features in other brands seem to be more risky to me. Keep it simple. I distrust stop/start technology.Robotics are leveling the playing field in most manufacturers. Good luck 👍
Chuka Nweze Not true. My grandmother lives up North and she’s had hers for years no problem. They take it on lots of trips to see family around the country every year all the way down to Texas or the south.
Nice looking. I have driven the Durango in the past and liked it a lot. While there are many comments about reliability issues with FCA I suspect the problems are mostly relative to say Toyota. All new cars are far more reliable than they were just 10 years ago.
He don’t even mention the best thing about this vehicle and the reason I bought it.This thing is a towing machine! 8700Lbs Tow capacity for a mid Size suv is insane.The next best in its class is 5600lb capacity
About the current architecture: The WK2 Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango debuted the last JOINT venture from the Daimler-Chrysler merger in 2011. This Durango sits on the same architecture as the current MBZ GLS(the GLS did not get it until 2013), and the GC was first to get the architecture prior to the 2012 MBZ ML-Class(2019 GLE-Class). It is common for the uninformed to believe Mercedes "handed-down" Chrysler platforms. It just is not true.
Matt Anthony Exactly. It is shameful to not have knowledge of something that significant. Furthermore, it usually is applied heavily to FCA vehicles in a very biased manner. This is NOT a hand-me-down or OLD platform, as stated multiple times in this review. The Ford Explorer sits on a Volvo platform from 1999(S80). Yet it is the #1 seller by far. So does it really matter? And obviously, the rants about the interior while leaving out the fact that it is STILL on par with most in the class(you can't even get a leather-wrapped dash in most others, save the Explorer Platinum) despite being so "old" is telling. I cringe each time an FCA vehicle is reviewed here. I do not see this level of biased review any place else on UA-cam, even from pro-foreign reviewers.
FCA gets a bad wrap, I have a 2017 JGC, it is reliable (26K no issues so far), solid built, comfortable and IMHO best looking SUV in its class. People that give me grief over buying a Jeep have no idea what the JGC is (MBZ design, still in use by MBZ), It may be on a 2011 design, but it was so well designed that it holds up to new SUV's. I looked at the new Explorer and Edge and hated them. I was happy when I bought it and even happier after seeing everything else in the market at the Auto Show.
The people always say that Dodge is junk... I have a 2014 Dodge charger with 120k miles and the only problem i have so far is the brakes... This eat brakes pads for lunch lol (front ones)
13:50 I will give you the benefit of a doubt, however, to those who might be inclined, it is never a good idea to be at a complete stop at the end of a highway-speed curve. Limited sight distance, reaction time, weather/road conditions and all that. You understand.
Yes but.. the target demo isn't so concerned with the precision and accuracy at this price point. This why a European version of a Anerican model is better. Its all about tolerance of the target buyer. But in a very unusual and unique tach in a car. Is the Lexus LFA has a 100% fake tach. This because a analog or digital display isn't fast enough for the engine. So a video game like simulated version is used.
@@thesharperb47 I'm almost positive it's the actual vehicle display. Ive seen it in the jeep srt and it's most noticable in the viper. Now, I have only seen it in videos, never in real life so.
You'd be fine. Everyone bashes FCA for being unreliable but in reality, the only vehicles that they sell anymore are no less reliable than anything else.

@@BeingMe23 I'm sure your local community theater Oscar award looks great on your mantle, but I'd suggest tightening up your grammar skills before criticizing Sofyan. "Stript", really? Perhaps the Screen Actors Guild will one day recognize UA-cam car reviews as a short form video category, but until then, Sofyan's many subscribers are fine with his current format. As for Motor Week TV's John Davis, he has a paid production staff of writers, camera operators, auto industry researchers, and film editors on his show. He doesn't even do the on-camera driving scenes during his reviews (hint: Sofyan does). It's kind of like comparing your local acting resume against multiple Academy Award winning actors Tom Hanks or Denzel Washington's acting credentials.
Rumor has it that they will be taking the Durango back to its roots of being a body on frame SUV "truck" rather than a large crossover in 2021. It's sad they are waiting that long but if they can basically make a RAM 1500 with a full length body and 3 row seating I think it would be a major hit considering the competition. Besides being the only ones to probably offer a high real world MPG V6 (no turbocharged bs) along side the world famous 5.7 Hemi, as it would share a lot of RAM 1500 tooling. That would be the end all for SUV's if they could make the thing tow similar numbers to the RAM and make it the true ultimate family hauler. Also adopting the RAM's air suspension, 12 inch touch, ludicrous amounts of storage, and maybe even the etorque system if it proves a success. That segment of the market is surprisingly lucrative, as I see Yukons, Tahoes/Suburbans, Escalades, Expeditions and Navigators all over the damn place, hell I'd say I see more of the body on frame SUV's than I do the Unibody SUV's.
Not bad looking. It is very much a specialty car because no many families will need this kind of HP. I needed a family car and decided on the 2018 Explorer Limited. I really enjoy the styling and the 290 HP and 310 TQ is not bad on the ecoboost 4 cylinder.
@Ptguy0618 I was thinking the same thing. I love my neighbors barge of a suburan but I'd get tired of driving that everyday. The Durango has great weight distribution and horsepower that makes the experince fun. I currently have the R/T and love the sound it makes when you put it in sport mode and it goes through the gears.
This man said the DURANGO need a weight reduction I’m trying to understand why would a full size suv that seats 6 people need to be too light he kills me I really don’t like bruh reviews
He has an anti-FCA bias sadly. Every FCA product is either A:) Big B:) Interior design is old C:) Handles bad. Dodge doesn't make race cars they make and always will make drag vehicles. Super cars cost over 200K and have less horsepower and most don't even have apple carplay or android auto. You can get a Challenger or a Charger with a 6.4 for 40k. I like his other reviews but when it come to FCA I watch Matt or someone else.
What's the obsession and or advantage of power folding mirrors? I've owned cars for a lifetime and never bumped a mirror. be nice to fold them in when going in a narrow garage but when I'm parked it doesn't seem to matter. It would just be another inconvenient way to get in a vehicle. Slow door opening slow startup. Is so much technology in the way of just jumping in a car.
I needed power folding mirrors on my Silverado for my garage. However, don't you see the people all walking, looking down at their cell phones? Why get them an opportunity to take out your $600 mirror? That's one good feature on the Kia, on some of their models, the side mirrors fold in when you park it.
Do you think it's a big risk to take this offroad? I mean, it's practically sitting on the ground! I wouldn't dare chance it and risk hitting something underneath...
There are the srt Cherokee and the srt Durango, and then there are the other suvs. If I was forced to have one it would be basically Mopar or no car. Always Dodge.
What they NEED TO DO is reduce parasitic drag. Which can be done very easy. Once they do it will get better MPG and more power to the ground. As in requards to exhaust sound. ANY vehicle can be modified to have a louder exhaust sound.
FCA...please drop the chrome accents on the interior!!! My Jeep Cherokee TH has it and it's so annoying at night with the 8.4 inch screen on. Plus it just looks cheap.
you clearly hate Dodge and you don't have large family, so biased review. no really valid comparison to other SUV on the market, weak on detail and not interested review overall
You stated that you haven't test driven the current generation Durango, but didn't you test drove a 2012 Durango? Or do you mean you haven't test driven the refreshed Durango?
Durango is ok. Not bad for a old platform. Its definitely is not bigger than a tahoe. I own a yukon denali and its wider taller and longer than a Durango. The Durango needs to be redesigned soon. But the SRT is pretty good looking to be so old. It has aged well. And there nothing like a good old gas guzzling V8
Hey Mr. Redline, I don't see why the number 4 badge that's on the Durango would look so bad on a Challenger with a 392!! The number 4 badge odviously means it's all wheel drive and they have an all-wheel drive Challenger but it's a V-6. Dodge needs to bring all-wheel drive to the Challenger with the 392 Hemi.
It's sad to see all the comments disparaging FCA for product quality. I believe them, so you can be sure it was a huge risk when I decided to get my brand new Durango. But I have to say-- 0 problems minus some infotainment quirks and I am super impressed. In 2 years I've put 60K miles on it and frankly it's performed wonderfully
Same with my 2015 Challenger R/T. Only had to replace the gas cap (check engine light) and a control arm/tire from a pothole. 93k miles now.
MOPAR baby. American muscle is great. Just bought a 392 charger scat pack. Man is it fun.
2014 Charger. Oil pressure switch replaced under warranty. Fun car to drive and averaging 23 mpg.
It’s even more funny considering that FCA is now in consumer reports top for reliability. I have pentastar Charger with 122k miles and it’s been excellent. Runs as good as it did the day I bought it

I wish dodge will offered a Durango rt shaker 392. But at the 2016 SEMA show that was a concept model, wishing it go into production.
I thought you were 5'9" as you've said in other videos, not 5'7" but I understand. I appreciate this and other videos. Very helpful.
Mt.Hood in December and it's sunny? Wow.
Michael Cline This was filmed back in Sept. it was the last video we filmed at AVA.
@@theredline lol I figured.
the eco mode is in the srt modes go to auto mode and press eco
This guy is the reason why vehicle prices are getting higher.
yeah, i mean, the car feels durable, but reliability matters here and Dogde vehicles aren't for the long term use
My favorite suv
No spare tire?? Its under the back
Bigger than a Chevy Tahoe. Really. Cool.
I heard the Bugatti Chiron ss will have a whopping 17 hp. Made my jaw drop.
Cool. Now build a pickup on this same platform, Dodge. Dakota 392 SRT.
There are the srt Cherokee and the srt Durango, and then there are the other suvs. If I was forced to have one it would be basically Mopar or no car. Always Dodge.
I can't watch of this video, this guy makes me want to take his lunch money
Performance in a segmant probably not often bought for that with horrible gas mileage for a segmant that needs as good as you can get.
when u mentioned its Mercedes roots I believe the durango from what ive heard is based of a Mercedes GL
ML platform
Why do the water pumps go bad every 20k?
Why is this dude still making Reviews he hates almost all brands like wtf smh 😂😂😂😰
He likes (loves) Euro brands, especially Porsche.
Such a beautiful color.
What they NEED TO DO is reduce parasitic drag. Which can be done very easy. Once they do it will get better MPG and more power to the ground.
As in requards to exhaust sound. ANY vehicle can be modified to have a louder exhaust sound.
I want to buy it but the only problem is that it's really bad on gas😢
FCA...please drop the chrome accents on the interior!!! My Jeep Cherokee TH has it and it's so annoying at night with the 8.4 inch screen on. Plus it just looks cheap.
Turn off TV and drive.

Got to love the plates...
It's clear that Sofyan wishes that all trucks and SUVs were cars.
But the Cherokee has less cargo space and one row less of seats. The Durango is fun yet more practical
Now they have the hell cat ✏️✏️
I'm pretty sure it has a Mopar 311 Platform. I might be wrong though
The ending... my favorite part...
Deep Thoughts.....
Elevation Brain Funk!
“Her bag is Chanel, but she drive a Durango”
you clearly hate Dodge and you don't have large family, so biased review. no really valid comparison to other SUV on the market, weak on detail and not interested review overall
AMEN

I’m a Dodge and Ram guy, but based on past experience with Durangos, let’s just hope this thing won’t visit the workshop frequently.
Beautiful car. Only $400/ a month. 😂
I wonder if they will supercharge the Durango
Love the design
when doing these with the upgraded models, can you please go over the stereo? is it worth the upgrade, etc? thanks
It’s funny when you rev the engine or accelerate, because my captions tell me there’s music playing in the background.
You stated that you haven't test driven the current generation Durango, but didn't you test drove a 2012 Durango? Or do you mean you haven't test driven the refreshed Durango?
USE IT BEFORE REVIEWING IT.. EXAMPLE...RED STRAP PULL TO THE 3RD ROW...
The eco button is on the screen 😂😂
In the video you said there is no spare tyre.. I think I saw underneath the car between the two exhaust tips🧐
Did you not see the words on the screen immediately after he said that?
Durango is ok. Not bad for a old platform. Its definitely is not bigger than a tahoe. I own a yukon denali and its wider taller and longer than a Durango. The Durango needs to be redesigned soon. But the SRT is pretty good looking to be so old. It has aged well. And there nothing like a good old gas guzzling V8
Your the best thanks for this Mr yan
The 2018 Dodge Durango it's alright right, I can't wait for your next video.
After 3 years this 63 thousand dollar car will be worth 34 k.
Awesome review
Nice video, love it... but what are they waiting on to put a hellcat motor in there
I can’t wait to get one
Durango SRT has eco. Click the SRT buttom and theres an eco button in the screen.
Hey Mr. Redline, I don't see why the number 4 badge that's on the Durango would look so bad on a Challenger with a 392!! The number 4 badge odviously means it's all wheel drive and they have an all-wheel drive Challenger but it's a V-6. Dodge needs to bring all-wheel drive to the Challenger with the 392 Hemi.
Do you prefer this or the jeep srt? Is handling wise almost the same?
