We bought our car new in December 2012, a 2013 Durango SXT AWD V6. with entertainment upgrade and rear view camera. Overall it has been a pretty reliable car. We did have one breakdown which turned out to be due to a recall for a faulty fuel pump (this was the 2nd pump), and a new head unit replacing for the infotainment after about 10 months. Both of which were sorted out quickly our local Dodge dealer, and an annoying/charming (depending on your view) feature of a noisy fan behind the dash for the air circulation.
We have maintained it per service schedule. We use it around town, and as a daily driver to and from work, we use it for family trips with all 7 seats taken and luggage for a week, and driven from Philadelphia to North Carolina! I find it has almost perfect road manners for an SUV. My one gripe would be the transmission, if your looking for used go for a later model with the 8 speed transmission, as the 4 speed can be lacking in finding the right gear.
It is our go to car in bad weather, we get just over 25 MPG on long hauls, and hover between 19.5 and 22 MPG on local trips (depending who is driving) with regular gas. Tires tend to last about 45,000 miles with regular rotation, and we recently had new front rotors and pads after lasting a phenomenal at 106,000 miles.
Our Durango continues to go strong, and will shortly be passed on as a first car to one of our children.
