Pros: What do you like about 2008 Dodge Durango?
Towing capacity.
3 row seating with actual leg room.
Split 3rd row.
Leather seats.
Rear view camera.
All wheel drive.
Powerful small v8.
3 blink lane change indicator.

Cons: How would you improve 2008 Dodge Durango?
REN radio with non-functioning buttons, ridiculous! Either make functions standard, or eliminate the buttons.
Rear seat Headrests exposed when folded for cargo. A flip up guard attached to the back of the seat could prevent expensive damage.
Variable displacement should be in all motors.
Leg room for all rear seats is tight.
Rear seat hvac controls are complicated.
Front corners are invisible when parking. More parking assist sensors would be great.

2008 Dodge Durango Review:
Took the base model for a test drive. Interior quality was very poor, Seats were incredibly hard. No covers on vanity mirrors. Headliner actually moved when dome light switch was pressed. Drove the limited, with trailer package. Night and day difference. Coming from a Yukon. Durango is much easier to handle in parking lots. (U turn capable.) Still drives a little "trucky" on the Hwy, but retains good towing capacity. 4.7 303 hp V8 is no slouch. Best MPG was 20.7 hwy at 75, typical is 18.. Quick also. Total review should be 3.5 stars

Pros: What do you like about 2008 Dodge Durango?
I JUST BOUGHT A 2008 DURANGO 14 DAYS AGO, USED WITH 25000 MILES. ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT. I AM GETTING 19.6 MILE PER GALLON WITH REGULAR GAS!

I TRADED IN MY 06 JEEP WRANGLER FOR THE DURANGO! LIKED THE JEEP, DID NOT LIKE NOT HAVING CARGO ROOM, TWO KIDS AND A HUSBAND = NO ROOM IN THE JEEP!

I HAVE GONE GROCERY SHOPPING TWICE WITH IT SO FAR AND ACTUALLY HAVE SOME PLACE TO PUT THE GROCERIES NOW! HAS MANY NEAT FEATURES TOO!

Cons: How would you improve 2008 Dodge Durango?
PUT THE BACK UP CAMERA AS A STANDARD FEATURE.

Pros: What do you like about 2008 Dodge Durango?
Very pleased with the vehicle. Handling is much better than competitors. Great towing capacity. Gas mileage reasonable for size/power (HEMI engine).

Cons: How would you improve 2008 Dodge Durango?
Can't think of any improvements...I like it just the way it is.

2008 Dodge Durango Review:
Handles like a much smaller vehicle. Great brakes. Outstanding vehicle for mountain driving. Interior appointments are good quality and tastefully done. Seats are very comfortable. YES fabric has good gripping characteristics...no sliding around. Lumbar supports can be dialed in for just the right amount of lower back support, a real plus for long trips. Impressive interior space. I have owned several SUV's and Pickup Trucks and this one is by far the best
