Pros: What do you like about 2006 Dodge Durango?
It's roomy for me and my 3 sons.
3rd row seats.
Aux for my mp3.
Gas mileage is really not that bad. Especially with hwy miles. But I don't commute far from home anyway.
It doesn't drive or sound like a truck.
It's stylish enough for a woman to drive.
The steering is really easy and parking is a breeze although it's a bigger vehicle.
Engine is quiet. Sometimes I don't know it's on.
It has a lot of room for cupholders and for my cosmetic items.
Cons: How would you improve 2006 Dodge Durango?
Interior plastic is cheap and parts keep falling off.
It's kind of basic on the inside. (I guess it's just the color.)
2006 Dodge Durango Review:
I love my Durango and can never see myself getting rid of it. I am a prissy female and it's still perfect for me.
It's enough room for me, my husband, and my boys. It's nice when we take trips. It has more than enough room. When going on playdates with other moms, I am able to fit 3 kids on 3rd row seats, PLUS three car seats on 2nd row seats. I still have room in the trunk to put a cooler and diaper bags and things.
I love my music and the stereo system is very loud. Love it!
It's perfect for me and I love it. I thank my husband almost every day for it lol. I still haven't had any major repair issues. Just normal fluid changes etc.
Oh I have the 2wd. Handling is still not bad. I don't have the hemi engine. Don't really need that though. I have NO intentions on pulling ANYTHING with my baby lol.

2006 Dodge Durango Review:
I purchased the Durango new and it was the most comfortable SUV that I test drove. Even the back seats are better than the average SUV. I go to places that most other SUVs have to use 4WD to get into, I just leave it in all WD and it gets through. I have only used 4WD one time to get out of loose sand. Rough roads are no problem, the suspension can handle even dirt roads with protruding rocks like they weren't there! The steering is responsive and quick, The cruise control is very precise and maintains the set speed to within 2 mph, up hill or down hill. The Alpine stereo is awesome! With Sirius satellite option, I can listen to the same station everywhere I go. The cloth seats are durable and comfortable, even in the desert. I can pack all my camera gear, suitcases, and cooler in the space behind the rear seat with room to spare, even with the third seat up. There's even more room with the seat down, enough to haul a washer and dryer! The addition of a collapsible basket for groceries along with the cargo net is a great little self-bought option. The items carried in it don't roll around. The remote controlled rear hatch is great when it's raining, because I can open it before I get to the car to load the items in before they get too wet. All in all, the Durango is the best vehicle I have owned, out of 12.

Pros: What do you like about 2006 Dodge Durango?
Look.
Smooth ride.
Leather seats.
Auto rear door opener.
Third seat.
Great sharp turn.
Adjustable gas pedal and seats.
Back support.
Heated seats.
Cons: How would you improve 2006 Dodge Durango?
Plastic seatbelt covers replaced 3x w/warranty after warranty. Dodge improved them and now they cost 150 for the pair. They know they are defective they should take responsibility and pay for it.
Better quality rubber around back door windows.
3 row mats included.
The interior molding near windshield has to be popped back into place. Secure it better.
Come up with better storage for the tire jack under seat, little plastic clip broke first time used.
Add mps connection and bluetooth connection.
2006 Dodge Durango Review:
I purchased my 06 special edition hemi fully loaded. Although good price compared to others, it wasn't cheap in cost. Workmanship could be better for that kind of money. If I had been told that the hemi had 16 plugs or would use that much gas I would have reconsidered. The starter gets stuck and at 40mph it shakes. Took it in 2x w/warranty didn't find nothing so I am stuck. The video player stays on so it broke where dvd spins. Make good on these defects and you have a great vehicle.

Pros: What do you like about 2006 Dodge Durango?
The power.
The fact it fits in my Garage.
The low price (I bought it used).
It seats 8 (I have 5 kids).
Tows my boat nice.
Cons: How would you improve 2006 Dodge Durango?
Fix the cheap plastic interior (I fixed the front seats that cracked - Dodge paid for the parts and I paid for the install). Also the plastic is easily scratched.
No floor mat for 3rd seat.
Rear doors open up to far - My kids are hitting other cars (and my car in garage) in the parking lots when the open the doors.
Back up alarm would be nice.
2006 Dodge Durango Review:
Good truck for the money. First time I owned a Dodge - I hope that repairs are minimal.

Having a problem with my starter and a vibration or rattling which sounds like it's coming from under the hood.
The cheap plastic interior and the space between the seat and the console is very hard to clean.
2006 Dodge Durango Review:
I am in love with the vehicle but the rattling has me a little worried even though I was told that everything is tight and in place, and my starter will need to be replaced soon, but it won't cost too much.

Pros: What do you like about 2006 Dodge Durango?
I like how it has another back row of seats, and the hemi. It rides nice on the highway.
Cons: How would you improve 2006 Dodge Durango?
Paint peels off of the bumpers.
Front seats have cracks in them and the seat belt covers fall off!!!!!
Rear facing car seats cannot go behind driver side otherwise seat cannot go back very far!!!
2006 Dodge Durango Review:
We traded in our Jeep Cherokee for a Durango. We were looking for more room and more of a family SUV. We have had nothing but problems with the paint and the plastic on the front seats cracking. Our lease is coming to an end and dodge is going to make us pay for the paint and the seats cracking. The quality of this vehicle is very poor and my husband and I wish that Dodge would accept responsibility for the quality and not charge us for the paint and seats. It's not our fault the plastic seat can't hold 250lbs and that when you hit a big bug or wash it the paint falls off!!!!!

I just purchased a silver 2006 Dodge Durango. The exterior is beautiful. Lots of room up front. A big truck and it makes a statement!! I see a lot of them on the road!

Make the third row seats. I need the DVD as well!!! It shakes a little when sitting still. I wished all my windows were tinted and not just the back ones.
