2012 Dodge Durango Crew

The 2012 Durango is Dodge's three-row SUV, sized to fit families who want more room than a crossover but less bulk than a full-size truck-based rig. It drives with a confident, truck-like feel that some owners appreciate for towing and hauling, though the ride can be a bit firm and the steering isn't as light as a car-based SUV. Inside, the cabin is roomy and comfortable for six or seven, with a third row that folds down to open up a large cargo area, but the rear seats don't fold completely flat. Some owners report issues with the transmission and the UConnect infotainment system, and a few mention interior trim pieces wearing prematurely. You give up the R/T's extra power and sportier suspension, but you save money and still get the Crew's standard leather and power-adjustable driver's seat. This Crew uses the 3.6L V6 making 290 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque, paired with a five-speed automatic and all-wheel drive.
