2015 Dodge Durango Overview, Reviews, Ratings & Specs

Lor Davis retired firefighter paramedic on February 2, 2025

My crystler Pacifica had multiple issues but last straw was after being back in a rental for the 2nd time in a week with young children in August in Florida I was getting really frustrated I took it back for 3rd they promised me it's good. Next day no air driving to school and sitting in drop off lane They put me in a Durango. My only request was heated seats because I am a retired firefighter paramedic and it helps with spasms. I got the 2015 limited in a stone grey. This compressor stopped working about 5 years. It was fixed and no issues. My back suspension needed to also have a repair. I only have 50,000 miles on it. I use it for trips up north for family or splitting up car xxxxxxwith my ex. I love that it gives me the space of a van but it drives like my older 4 seat cab pickup. I like to be higher than everyone and still is very easy to control and park. I was in an accident right after Covid hit. The other driver took off most of the front 12 of my fender. I was hit hard they had him speeding and going at least 50. 15 over, I have a herniated neck and back from being a firefighter. I was not hurt at all. I did suffer a mild concussion and bruising to the chest from the airbag. By the looks of the Durango it looked like no one survived. So I give it an A+. Not an issue but annoying is the have the ability to change the automatic transmission to manual by touching to silver switches. Which are unfortunately hit by accident more then I care to admit then your pushing the gas and the car will just rev . To turn manual off u need to shut the car down. Makes it very dangerous sitting for a light and u accidentally hit it unknowingly. That needs to go.

I've owned my 2015 Durango 3.6 sxt for 8 years. In that 8 years I've put nearly 260K miles on it. It's been my every day driver since the day I purchased it. Redline red, all black interior, 3 rows. Just a basic model. But, to this day, it's still going strong. At the time of purchase I did get the maxcare lifetime warranty. It was exercised for a couple small things. Back latch switch went dead and wouldn't open just a switch replacement. No big deal. At 220K nearly on the dot the transmission failed. With the maxcare warranty, I paid 200 dollars for the transmission replacement. That was only a year ago. That has been the only major issue with this vehicle. To be honest, 220K was impressive, since the 46RE transmissions in my 1st Gen Durango went out at 134K and the same transmission in my 00 ram 1500 went out at around the same mileage, I was extremely impressed with with how long this transmission held up. Notably a major improvement in reliability from the old glass transmissions that would break if you even thought about it. The 3.6 pentastar motor has been absolutely amazing. With multiple cross country trips in this vehicle, set to cruise control and eco mode on, I have squeezed 31Mpg out of it on those long long rides from Lake Tahoe California to Meredith New Hampshire. I have maintained it in time every time. Some normal wear and tear items have been replaced which is expected with the mileage I put on this. A wheel bearing, radiator, water pump. (Standard maintenance). The only downfall is that I've had to replace the windshield 4 times because it's a magnet for rocks hitting it. I'm not even someone who tailgates because I always have my children with me and their safety is my priority. Which was the reason I purchased it. The crash test ratings met my standards, where the passenger compartment was the safest in the ratings. Driver side wasn't as great but still pretty solid. I'd rather my kids and now grandchildren be safe with side impact or rear impact collisions than myself. But, I've never had an accident. Knock on wood. Overall, I would say that this is a fantastic midsize suv with excellent fuel economy for it being heavy compared to other vehicles on the market at the time. It's been extremely comfortable to drive for all of this time. I do not have any tears, i. The seats, arm rests, and headliner. All of the electronic components work just fine still, and the controls are at your fingertips leaving your eyes glued to the road. This vehicle has been really good to me. I'll keep driving it till it finally quits. And with the amount of miles I've put on it, I wouldn't even be mad if it gave up now considering all of the memories I've been able to create with my family because of it's reliability. From one mom to all the other moms out there looking for a great vehicle, give it a solid test drive, it's roomy enough, overall it's just been a wonderful vehicle to own for these last 8 years.

We own this truck, limited edition. About 3 years in it started giving us issues for example 3 months in and we already needed to buy a new fuel line and catalytic converter. The truck has been making this clicking noise for years now. It almost sounds like the tranny is going. I should note, we bought it brand new and have taken good care of it along the way.

This will not replace an actual full size suv but does feel nice when accelerating. I struggle at time with leg room being the driver since I'm already a tall person

This Suv is all I had hoped for and more and I wouldn't be any happier. I was, originally looking for a jeep but I drove thus and it is fantastic from the word go

Have an old one still. Dodge Durango's are great reliable vehicles as long as you take proper care of them. Be good to them and they will be good to you.
