Dodge Durango has been around for a mere five years, but it seems so long. The SUV world has moved so fast. In those short five years the Durango has gone from innovative to date by its competition. But it has established enduring strengths and character; it's truly rugged and sporty, with distinctive styling that reflects those values. It is NOT built from the Dakota compact pickup truck, and that's the biggest part of this big SUV story from Dodge. The old Durango was that it wasn't very spacious, and the space that was there was compromised in some ways. That's all changed now. This Durango is the best thing to come out of Dodge Truck since the Ram pickup ten years ago, and the best Dodge SUV in the long and storied history of the division, bar none.

Inside, it's quiet, roomy, comfortable and technologically sophisticated.
