John Biel

A lot of gas stations these days advertise the ability to "pay at the pump" and, boy, will you with a Durango, especially with V-8. But improved ride and ample cargo capacity are plusses worth considering.

Mark Bilek

Despite listed price decrease, Durango no longer had a price advantage over rivals when similarly equipped. Combating that is a considerably better vehicle that matches the competition in nearly every dynamic way. Durango should be a "must see" for midsize SUV shoppers.
