General Comments:
My wife and I saw commercials and saw a few videos on YouTube on this vehicle, and we went to Reedman Toll in Langhorne Pennsylvania to buy one in February of 2018. We chose the beautiful red model. We treated ourselves as a Valentine's day present to ourselves. It was love at first sight. Very, very fast and ever so comfortable. We showed our children and grandchildren the new addition and they loved it. It gets compliments everywhere it goes. Dodge really hit the jackpot when creating this vehicle!! It's a blast to drive!! For those seeking a great family SUV with lots of power, the American way, this is it! We love it to death. Definitely worth recommending it! It's our "family friendly" companion.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

I wish someone would do a review on a Durango V6. All I see are the hemi ones. I really want to know the reliability of the six cylinder ones.

The V6 3.6L version suffers from the known lifter ticking issues (also found in their old 4.4L). I heard the issues have been rectified since 2018. I would suggest you look at buying 2018 or newer versions of the V6 Dodge/Chrysler.

You are right about the lifter noise on the V6. My granddaughter just had to spend $1800 on a new cam shaft, and it was not covered under warranty.
If you are looking for a vehicle in that class, I would recommend you look at other products; Durangos are notorious for bad transmissions as well as the above-mentioned items.

Our Durango luckily has been trouble free. It's got 40000 miles on it and has been getting compliments from the grandchildren all the time. The gas mileage isn't so great, but that's what you get for buying a V8 powered SUV.

Can you update us on this vehicle as time and mileage accumulate, as to what problems you may encounter and whether the problem was resolved to your satisfaction. Thanks in advance.
