2017 Dodge Durango RT - GREAT for Road Trips 

Great review! The best I've seen since being interested in the 2018 Dodge Durango RT. I cannot wait to test drive one and take it on the highway! Keep up the good work & delivering outstanding reviews.

Well done 👍. Great road trip perspective from a Dad. 'Drive it like you stole it', dude.

I've owned a 1st & 2nd gen Durango and loved them both! Done a bunch of research on this new one and have seen nothing but good reviews. We love taking family road trips and this video was really helpful. Nice job.

Love the durango. Just a great all around suv

Just bought a 2017 and love it.

BEST VIDEO I’ve seen yet!! Very informative, nice screen transition and great clarity. Dodge should pay you for selling this vehicle because so many people shy away from R/T’s worried about MPG. You destroyed that notion elegantly. Thank you

Nice . Good sensible styling, rear view is great.Good ideas.I love this car.Wish we have this Australia.

Love the road trips, especially after dark

Great Video, very informative!

I have the same vehicle, same color w brass monkey wheels. Mine is 7 passenger,AWD with red interior. I agree with everything you said. I have had my RT for 4 months. For $48K, it is awesome. IMO it is the Charger RT of SUVs. Had it on mountain roads in PA, with the paddle shifters and RT drivetrain and suspension it is a blast to drive the twisty and windys. Now it may not be as nimble in it's handling, going into the corners,etc, as my Charger RT, but for a 5200 lb truck it does very well. Love the Adaptive Cruise Control and all the technology.Highway cruising is it's strong point, too.

I can see how the adaptive cruise could have it's challenges in the U.S. however Canada only has a single lane highway running across the vast majority country. When doing 8-12 hour days on the road on a single lane highway, adaptive cruise would be AMAZING to have until you get the opportunity to overtake the person in front of you. I LOVE this video by the way. More road trip videos please :)

Great video very informative really liked it and hope to see some more good job 👍

Great video. I got Spaceballs reference at the late 37 minute mark btw.

The Greatest Video I Haven't Seen in The Minutie . I Like This Car It Looks Good.

At 18:30, he mentions how powerfully the lane assist feature steers the Durango. The strength is configurable in the uConnect settings for the vehicle. You can choose from three levels of "tugginess". That said... the Durango's "lane assist" feature is not particularly well-implemented. I've got the R/T and I have zero regrets. I love it. Driving is so much fun. And it's sure-footed in all weather, even with all-season tires. But the "lane assist" feature is (arguably) the weakest feature. It only works on straight sections of road. If the highway gently curves and you're nodding off at the wheel, the Durango will not save you. It will cross the lane divider and possibly even go off the road if you don't wake up when you feel the steering wheel tugging. To summarize: If the road is straight, "lane assist" will keep you in the lane. But even gently curves are too much for "lane assist". This is not a self-driving vehicle. The "lane assist" feature is really that life saver when you're super tired, but driving anyway and you have one of those five-second doze-offs. Well, the steering wheel tug will probably wake you up, but you'll still have to steer yourself back into place.

Adaptive cruise is a really good feature. I drive tractor trailers for a living all the newer trucks have it and in heavy traffic where you can't really pass you just sit back with no worries. My tractor radar tells me the speed of vehicles in front of me before it starts to slow me down and gives me plenty of time to plan a lane change and just go around the slow pokes. I got the 22 RT and as far as I can tell it doesn't tell me the speed of vehicles up ahead which would be really nice. But adaptive cruise is still really good and comes in handy.

So glad I have one!!

Thank you

I’m picking one of these up on Saturday :)!!! I love car camping so I hope this is a good enough camping car

Great video, when the fuel gauge stop giving mileage estimates you usually have 2-3 gallons remaining in the tank. We usually reset our trip B counter to 0 to estimate how much is left. That being said, it's really not good to let it get down that low.

You did a truly awesome video. Thanks to you I plan to get a Durango RT AWD in Black hopefully next year. Time to step it up a notch and say bye bye to my Ford Edge SEL

Thanks 😚

FYI. The Most ticketed drivers are Dodge Charger drivers. People think they are police too and get out of the way leaving an open road ahead for speeding and Laser radar police! Go ahead but be mindful of this. Love your road trips! The diesel mpg trips were my favorites!

Hit the Paddle Shifter (either one) and the “Sport Mode” and “Eco Off” are automatically engaged.

Love the Review. I have the 17 R/T with all the options except adaptive CC and Lane Assist. I gave 6 Dodge dealerships my $41K price tag I was willing to pay but I had to have Chrome or Brushed aluminum wheels......I'm not a fan of the Black Wheels craze. Mine came with an upgraded Pearl White paint, the Sunroof, 2nd row Captain's chairs and console (which was another option I demanded), tow package, etc. I had 3 dealers tell me I would NEVER get it for that price. I said....."then I guess I won't get one." A few weeks later Autonation in North Fort Worth called me and said we have your car. They did! Fabulous vehicle! I also have a 2009 Challenger R/T with basically the same engine.

What do you think about the cabin being so dark? Was it an issue or did the moonroof help with interior lighting? Personally I think the Coors Durango has for interpersonal is lacking. Picking light brown but then you can't get the black top or the brass monkey for some reason...

Thumbs up; enjoyed it.

My husband bought me this truck instead of the van I wanted for all our kids and I'm excited I love it so much. I've been from Chicago to Wisconsin three times this summer. I love sports mode I did 120 almost the whole ride. The lane assist does get on your nerves especially if you're trying to change lanes fast without the turn signal it will push you back in the lane. Absolutely love this truck. Only issues I have was the headlight and turn signal goes on and off and the hatch opened up twice, other than that no problems. Thanks for the review.

Pleasantly surprised you drive considerably. You use the left lane for passing only. Here in California people get on the freeway at 30mph and get in the left lane immediately. Good job on your driving!

Is there any particular reason why no power fold in mirrors? 😳

شي رهيبة دودج رانجو

Good job man!! I drove one today and I think I’m going to buy it, love it and I’d plan to keep it long term but kinda scared about all the computerized stuff.

How is the head room I’m 6’3.

أول سياره اشوف كل المتميزات فيه قوي دودج رانجو

After getting rid of my WRX I got a wrangler and I’ve been regretting ever since. Only reason I got it is because I wanted a bigger car but wanted to keep driving a manual. I hate the wrangler. I’m waiting for the 2021 RT to come out and getting one ASAP, it’ll be my first automatic car ever but I think the Hemi makes up for it. I think....

👏you did an awsome Job!! I have this SUV & your right on 🎯 Great Job Sir!! 👍 I love my car!!

I want captains chairs in 2nd row as long as the legroom is good, at least 40”.

Nice video

😍😍😍❤yes

How is the reliability???

I have a durango myself. One complaint that I have is that you get the fuel level low light when the remaining fuel volume gets down to 2 gallons (as per user manual). This thing has almost a 25 gallon tank. You would think the reserve would be much larger, especially for this gas guzzler. But instead, you practically need to scramble for gas the minute you get the warning. Also, I replaced all interior incandescent light bulbs with led bulbs the 2nd day after I got the car. The stock interior lighting is a joke for sure. Except for backup bulbs, all exterior lighting is LED out of the factory. What were they thinking???

if you do cruise control and the car front of you goes slow so your car will slow down as well, the question is, does your brake light lights up when it slows down?

I am in the market for one of these bad boys. the only thing that holding me back is reliability issues. Do you still have your truck? how is it holding up? I am looking at a 2018 CPO R/T at a moment. any input will be greatly appreciated.

Little cheesy but great video nonetheless! Thanks for the thorough review!

You know what, that vehicle suits you well. Not gonna lie. Hope you purchase one.

Great truck traded mine for a scat though

Can't justify this car without a family. I guess I need to start a family.

We have the white and red leather inside

Did you just press a button for the rear head rests?

From the outside and front row do you think it's design was Land Rover influenced

Hi, I like the way you review all the cars you drive, but I would like to know if There's any way you can review a 2017 Porsche macan base 4 cylinder and or make a comparison between the macan and Audi Q5!?

Do you still have this durango, or is it only good for one trip?

What was your average mpg on the trip?

I don’t understand why the Durango does not have power fold in mirrors smh. Most other SUV’s have this function.

2020s are currently listed for 38k right now in Southern California - MSRP 50k , 0% finance for 72 months. It sounds like I should look in to it?? Haha

The Durango R/T is definitely a beautiful and fun SUV to drive but It's still pricey for what you get. The Ford F-150 Supercrew 4X4 5.0 L V-8 gives you much more functionality for less money, it rides like a Limo and has as much interior space as one. It handles great a gives great fuel economy for a vehicle its size and hauling & towing capability.

That little button down there (instead of up there) is why i have to lock the car when the kids are playing in the yard, otherwise they'd wear out the liftgate motor 😒🤪

Fun drive, Bryan! Sounds like an awesome tourer vehicle. One question: what size shoe do you take? Trying to calculate rear storage volume ;) Hope you had some good BBQ in Dallas.

Did you forget anything?

Hey what neighborhood is that it looks nice!

You look like my math teacher

You didn’t get the tow package, you didn’t get the roof rack, you didn’t get all wheel drive

How is reliability? Don’t want to drop $50k for a headache.

Just bought one yesterday 🙏🙏

Nothing to hate the radar cruise control. Once you know the behavior, you just override it by giving gas at that point.

all that and it's ONLY RWD? dang... It would never make a Minnesota winter '

Wow Texas roads are confusing

You’re next Durango is going to be a 2019 dodge Durango RT.

You have to refuel

I really hate that round shift

Anyone have a durango rt over 100k miles

You "complain" that the car forces you to keep your hands on the steering wheel? lol

How much you want to bet he ran out of gas the next morning trying to find a gas station in a city?

Every time you reach over to turn off the camera I feel you are trying to tickle me under the chin! 😞

It's awd not rear wheel drive.

I just test drove one of these POS, slow as fuck, I'll stick with SRT8 jeep

It’s a beautiful car but I don’t like the interior design...seats are bad compared to designing of the car .......
