2013 Dodge Durango Citadel

The 2013 Durango is Dodge's three-row family SUV, the one you cross-shop with the Ford Explorer and Toyota Highlander. It drives more like a truck than a crossover, which some owners like for the solid feel, but you'll notice the body roll in corners. The cabin is roomy and comfortable, with seating for seven and a third row that folds down for extra cargo space. Available tech includes a touchscreen UConnect system, rear entertainment, and a backup camera, though the infotainment can be finicky. The Citadel is the top Durango trim; pick it if you want heated leather seats and wood trim, while the sportier R/T trades luxury for a firmer suspension and unique styling. Its 5.7L V8 makes 360 horsepower through a five-speed automatic, so you get solid passing power on the highway and a throaty exhaust note, with 16 mpg combined.
