How the 2009 Dodge Durango stacks up against the competition - by Nigel Cooper, Topanga, CA

Dodge Durango Review
2009 Dodge Durango
Price Range: $28,130 - $39,785

Cost
The destination charge is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle from its point of origin to the dealer. It costs almost the same to get the typical SUV to the dealership as the Dodge Durango. The Dodge Durango pales in comparison to the typical SUV with respect to gas mileage. The average SUV is significantly more expensive than the Dodge Durango when it comes to MSRP.

Utility
Drivers with frequent child-duty might favor the Dodge Durango over the typical SUV. The Dodge Durango is likely a better choice than the typical SUV as far as hauling capacity, especially if you often need to carry a lot of gear or large pets. The Dodge Durango outpulls the average SUV by a large margin.

Convenience
The Dodge Durango's fuel tank will need to be replenished a little more often than the unit in the average SUV.

Comfort
While the front cabin in the Dodge Durango offers a bit more head room than the average SUV, there really isn't much of a difference. While the rear of the typical SUV offers a bit more head- and leg-room than the Dodge Durango, there frankly isn't much of a difference.

Dimensions
Your wallet will hurt more every time you fill up the Durango than the average SUV because of its larger tank. The average SUV and the Dodge Durango compete for the same parking spaces.

Handling
With their similar turning radiuses, the average SUV and the Dodge Durango definitely handle about the same into and out of tight spots.

Drivetrain
The Dodge Durango's engine is considerably more sizeable than the typical SUV's. Remember that more sizeable engines may use more gasoline than smaller ones.

Overview
The basic after-sale protection that comes with the Dodge Durango isn't quite as generous as the typical SUV's.

The price a car site displays won't be what you'll pay for an actual car with specific options.
