2012 Dodge Durango Citadel

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. The Citadel is the top-trim Durango, adding leather upholstery, heated front seats, and a premium sound system over the R/T and Crew.
