Uconnect is the best infotainment on the market. Also the taillights on the Durango are the most visible of any vehicle (other than the charger) I've ever seen, making your actions that much more visible to other drivers. Remember the Durango is a 9 year old architecture while the traverse was all new 2018, the fact the Durango is still so competitive really shows just how right Chrysler got it. Edit: the Durango can tow competitively with the Tahoe even though it's a unibody SUV.
UConnect doesn't support Apple Carplay or Android Auto as of the video. If you count on sound quality, the other American manufacturers offer better sounding systems. And the map updates on UConnect are EXTORTION.
Yes it doees supports apple car play and android auto and dodge has better audio then gm cheap built bose and really crapy base audio and the dodge durango have a 9 speaker alpine witch sounds really good and new 19 speaker harman kardon and Uconnect map updates are not that hard at all
@@coolsquad7428 The UConnect system used in vehicles before 2018 does NOT support Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. All those Chrysler radios come from the same source, Harmon Kardon Automotive. Nothing special.
The Durango imo is the better vehicle. Gm quality is slipping on these models including their sister brand Buick. See both these at the dealers more then any other car
@@mechengineer4894 I love it when ppl think they know something but actually don’t. I deal with cars all day and work with cars and designs. Stop pissing in the wind like you really have a thought in that empty head. Idiot....
@@Untc3dattentionloving Dodge isn't known for reliability but I know these traverse, Acadia, Enclave and Outlook crossovers are known for their transmissions failing Early on. My sister had the Buick Enclave version and sure enough her transmission started failing. And an old coworker of mine had the Saturn Outlook version with transmission problems. All 4 Traverse, Enclave, Outlook and Acadia are all the same car...
Bought a 2018 traverse because can get a gm discount, live in gm country up here in Saginaw, Mi.....at 25,,000 miles shifter went out they had to replace the whole mechanism and sensers......at 40,000 miles had to go through this all over again.. dont think Id get another....
Yep and it has front and rear parking sensors and also have fcw with active breaking so it can avoide a crash and plus It has highway emergency brakeing
Being a mechanic and working on both of them I give the win to the traverse better car more reliable it’s come along way . As for Pricing the traverse is better priced way more incentives dodge really doesn’t give alot of wiggle room and I think there products are over priced they make a nice looking ride but electric issues they have gotten better over the years but hands down GM
I'm not a mechanic and don't know shit about working on cars but have way too many family members who drive a traverse (I had an enclave). Are you sure that car is more reliable than the Durango. Dodge definitely isn't know for reliability but the Durango should last at least 200-250k miles. It's not like the traverse with those is gonna last longer than that. The transmission is in my sister's Enclave started failing around 130k miles and honestly, I'm probably rounding that number up.
@@mythoughts9801 i dont think he would share his opinion from his experience if he wasnt "sure" the traverse wasnt the more reliable. Also as experienced mechanic and tow truck driver, I can also confirm ive towed and worked on Durango's more frequently (newer generations). this could also be from the amount of sales in our specific area. The durango is a wicked SUV especially with the 5.7 and its price, but they do have a fair amount of problems, especially with the 5.7. They both have problems, but Chevy seems more on top of their corrections of them.
I love the Durango much better looking that the traverse and the power is better the towing ability for pulling my trailer when we go camping you will not get with the GM.And the 3rd row in the Durango is very comfortable
The Traverse weighs 1000 lbs less, with a V6 that dynos over 250hp. The Durango weighs in around 5200-5500 lbs depending on engine, and the V6 dynos around 200-210 hp. If you're looking for a practical choice, it's still the Traverse.
@@pho030611 The "lightest" Durango weighs over 4750 lbs. and they don't sell many of those. These would be no option type vehicles that even the rental companies won't touch.
Durango is by far better.... not to mention i can tow 7400lbs and i have a 9 speaker stock alpine radio. And my gas tank holds like 23 gallons so i end up getting the same out of a fill up as a ford explorer or traverse not to metion i have the tightest turn radius of all of them... just a few to metion........ but the durango is by far better and shraes dna with a jeep grand cherokee
The durango is a better choice I have one with a hemi engine and it is fast then the other slow v6s it beats the pilot the treverse and aswell the pathfinder and the thaoe 5.3 v8 so if you want power and more safety features and alot of room and great quality and sound system and luxury get the durango the best suv in it’s class
Love my Dodge Durango 2014 also purchase maxcare lifetime warranty unlimited mileage now Chrysler and Dodge wants to renege the warranty at a hundred and thirty thousand miles ball joints one on the left side they paid for the driver side went out one month later they refused to pay for so I will be going to small claims court to recover my$700 they have to own up to their if they want me to purchase another Dodge

I like RWD , I like to be able to work on my engines and do the bare essentials. Transverse v6 configuration front wheel drives pain in the butt.
The biggest safety feature of the Durango is the racoon tail lights. In heavy rain, the safest car is the car you can see.

Love my Durango
I give a 👍 but I think the Durango is the better vehicle. Chevy vehicles (NON SPORT) feel a little mundane to drive IMO
I love the Durango much better looking that the traverse and the power is better the towing ability for pulling my trailer when we go camping you will not get with the GM.And the 3rd row in the Durango is very comfortable
Got rid of my Equinox now have a Durango & love it
Durango is more fun to drive but the traverse is better overall
Durango👌❤
Chevy Traverse is the better vehicle overall and that is why I purchased one over the Dodge Durango.
Nobody shared your opinion!,all of the commenters favoured the durango,I think you should reconsider😁😎
The Traverse weighs 1000 lbs less, with a V6 that dynos over 250hp. The Durango weighs in around 5200-5500 lbs depending on engine, and the V6 dynos around 200-210 hp. If you're looking for a practical choice, it's still the Traverse.
durango is better in everything except cargo space
@@ejs93033 The Durango is a FIAT, remember that.
Ken O'Day actually, the Durango v6 only weighs 4600-4800 lbs. it’s the v8 that weighs around 5300lbs.

Mid size?
Daniel.. i think the full size are the tahoes, Escalades..
Premium midsized crossover/suv class.
Aka Bigger Mideized suvs.

durango is more SUV, traverse is more minivan
The Durango is a unibody, just like the Traverse/Acadia. It's a stretched Grand Cherokee. And it's a FIAT.
The durango is a better choice I have one with a hemi engine and it is fast then the other slow v6s it beats the pilot the treverse and aswell the pathfinder and the thaoe 5.3 v8 so if you want power and more safety features and alot of room and great quality and sound system and luxury get the durango the best suv in it’s class
@@coolsquad7428 Put the boat anchor Pentastar V6 in your Durango and get back to us. All the other domestic V6s are faster and more powerful.
It is not an anchor buddy
@@coolsquad7428The V6 is an anchor. Almost any GM corporate 3.6 will take the doors off of it. That includes a V6 300 getting wiped by an Acadia AWD.

Durango has an 8.4 inch screen, not 7.
He said base screen. The base screen is 7 inches.
This video is to short to be informative.
only thing that would probably prevent me from buying a Chrysler or even a GM for that matter is reliability. GM gone down hill the past 15 years. Chrysler just as bad.you had a failing American company get merge with a mediocre European company, do you think they're going to make a good product. I don't think so.
SAD!!!
But that traverse is so ugly. And those engines and zf8 in the Durango is clearly alot better drivetrain options.
Chevy is no gd this is what u Chevy is better truck
