Talk:Dodge Durango

message: The following appeared as a top-level section — see permalink for version prior to removal.  My feeling is that a 'rumors' section really doesn't belong in Wikipedia, at least not without a reference to support it. --User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 00:26, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: 'Rumors' section removed from main article

message: I think there needs to me more clarification on the 2005 Update. When I first came to this page, I was confused out of my mind why there was a third version showing up on the side bar. So, I tried to put a side by side comparison on the 2004 subsection. I think the way it is now is way too confusing because there's this red herring/outlier of an image at the top, with no explanatory text for the images at all. My attempt to revise was reverted, perhaps someone can suggest a better way to show this?-146.115.115.184 (talk) 09:50, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  The 2005 Update 

message: This article should have a section about the suspension issues about the 1998-2003 Dodge Durangos having ball joint problems that caused the tires to break off. --PJ Pete October 18, 2009 2:58
* If you would like this added you would need to provide a good reliable sources. This was a normal safety recall, in that excessive wear of the upper ball joint could cause the front wheel fall off. Reall was for some 2000-2003 Dodge Dakota and Durango 4WD models (not all Durangos), see 04V-596 / D47 Recall.  Telecine Guy (talk) 22:19, 5 February 2024 (UTC)
thread_title:  Suspension Issues 

message: Made minor updates.... 4.7 is called the Magnum V8 in the 2000-2003 Durango, and side curtain airbags were optional, not standard starting in 2002.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.188.154.155 (talk) 13:12, 21 March 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Updates 

message: Could someone update the side box to include the 45RFE/545RFE transmissions for the 00-03 years that have the 4.7? I can't exactly remember what year the 4.7 went to the 545RFE... but I believe it was 2001 or 2002.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.61.235.79 (talk) 19:29, 14 December 2010 (UTC)

message: Many like to compare the Durango to the Chevy Traverse and Ford Explorer, formerly Ford Flex. When in reality, it's much more like the Chevy Tahoe/Suburban and Ford Expedition. If anything, the Journey, in addition to being like the Chevy Blazer and Ford Edge, is also like the Traverse and Explorer.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 104.57.183.127 (talk • contribs) 18:13, 26 June 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: The Journey is like the Blazer, Edge, and Explorer, while the Durango is like the Traverse and formerly the Flex. Also, the Durango offers seating up to 7 as opposed to the Tahoe/Suburban which offer up to 9. Ee2mba (talk) 23:45, 27 June 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: However, the Durango competes more directly with the Tahoe/Suburban and Expedition, whilst the Journey takes on the Traverse and Explorer, in addition to the Blazer and Edge. 104.57.183.127 (talk • contribs) 23:58, 28 June 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: Even so, it’s a crossover. The Journey takes on the every vehicle but the Traverse. There’s rumors of a new Ramcharger to serve as the Dodge full-size SUV. Ee2mba (talk) 01:09, 28 June 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: I never have, and never will, see the Durango as a CUV. And I think that Ramcharger'll be a RAM version of the Jeep Wrangler. Also, in 2009, when both the Journey and Traverse came out, there were many comparisons drawn between the two. 104.57.183.127 (talk • contribs) 02:13, 28 June 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: The Durango still has Crossover capabilities. I don’t know why people call it a full-size SUV.  Ee2mba (talk) 02:28, 28 June 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: Because that's what it is. That's like calling the Expedition a CUV, it's incorrect, regardless of what capabilities it may have. 104.57.183.127 (talk • contribs) 02:54, 28 June 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: It is a Crossover. Many people state it is one. Ee2mba (talk) 03:50, 28 June 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: That's a common misconception. The Durango doesn't cross over any more than your average Expedition does. 104.57.183.127 (talk • contribs) 04:53, 28 June 2020 (UTC)

text: The Durango was built on a separate frame for the first two generations, and was thus a "proper" SUV. The current (third) generation is a unit-body construction, an enlarged version of the Jeep Grand Cherokee. To some people, being unit-body makes it a cross-over, but, as with the Grand Cherokee, I believe that it is completely fair to call it an SUV. Full-size is more dubious; one can find support for any view imaginable. The EPA calls it a "Standard Sport Utility Vehicle" as there is officially no such thing as a full-size SUV. The EPA also do not release interior volume figures for trucks, so we can't really make up the classifications ourselves. FWIW, there is talk of the fourth generation returning to body-on-frame construction.  Mr.choppers | ✎  18:48, 28 June 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: The fourth generation has not yet been announced. Ee2mba (talk) 19:44, 28 June 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: The Grand Cherokee (and the XJ Cherokee before it) were always of unibody construction but were not considered crossovers. The other litmus test for a crossover is being built on a "car platform," although with the demise of most conventional cars that definition is going to become difficult eventually. However, the Grand Cherokee and Durango have longitudinally-mounted engines, which I believe tip them firmly into the "truck-based" category. --Sable232 (talk) 00:13, 29 June 2020 (UTC)

text: However, The Durango has far more in common with the Expedition than it does the Explorer, that's the Journey. 104.57.183.127 (talk • contribs) 21:38, 29 June 2020 (UTC)

text: Between the Expedition and Traverse, this is more similar to the former than the latter. 104.57.183.127 (talk • contribs) 23:49, 07 July 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: The Grand Caravan is being replaced. As for the Journey, it shouldn't be retired, and the Nitro should actually be a rebaged KL Cherokee. But who will write to Dodge?   Ee2mba (talk) 17:40, 12 July 2020 (UTC)

replies: text: What is Dodge's address? How can I find it? Ee2mba (talk) 23:09, 16 July 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: I think the Durango is a Crossover. It is based of the Mercedes-Benz ML Class third generation platform while competitors are based off of truck platforms.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.163.155.150 (talk) 20:14, 15 July 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: Just because it is unibody like the Traverse, that does not, however, mean it is a CUV. It has a longitudinally-mounted engine, not unlike the Expedition. (talk • contribs) 17:07, 16 July 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: Not because it is unibody but because of size, seating, and capabilites.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.163.155.150 (talk) 17:29, 16 July 2020 (UTC)

text: However, it is bigger than most CUV's, such as the Ford Explorer, Subaru Outback, Toyota Highlander, Honda Pilot, Nissan Pathfinder, Hyundai Santa Fe, and even Dodge's own Journey. (talk • contribs) 07:17, 17 July 2020 (UTC)

text: Those are all mid-size crossovers. The Durango is a full-size Crossover.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.163.155.150 (talk) 22:27, 17 July 2020 (UTC)

text: It is more like the Expedition. I mean just look at them and tell me they don't look alike. (talk • contribs) 03:00, 18 July 2020 (UTC)

text: It looks a lot like it but more like the Traverse and Flex.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.163.155.150 (talk) 04:44, 18 July 2020 (UTC)

text: I always compared it to the Expedition more.
It can be comparable to the Expedition in some ways but in other ways to the Flex.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.163.155.150 (talk) 23:58, 19 July 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  SUV or CUV? 

message: I've been trying to find enough sources to back up the claim that the 2nd gen Durango is full-size, as opposed to mid-size like the 1st and 3rd.  Picking model year 2009, I got one saying it's mid-size  and two saying it's in between mid-size and full-size  , which doesn't help much.  There are at least enough included sources that we can keep 3rd gen as "mid-size crossover SUV". --Vossanova o< 18:58, 17 November 2020 (UTC)
