Jeep and Dodge makes really nice looking SUVS and trucks but I'm worried about reliability
I can understand where you are coming from!
The interior is cool in its class... any driver can slide in and can familiarize with the layout of the dashboard and the driver's steering console. No fumbling through switches, knobs, and no need in feeling your way here-and-there because at a simple glance what you need are simply there to reach your hand out to. Pure simplicity.
@@GerardPedrico wow thanks! I like that
Danny P It 100% depends how you treat it. I have worked at a few dealerships in my past One being a jeep and dodge. Most people who buy jeep or more fun and adventurous most people who buy dodge want a big tough vehicle with a big engine to abuse that vehicle
When you look at Jeep marketing to people who go off-road and dodge marketing to people who want powerhouse vehicles to do burnouts and rev up their engines a lot. Then compare that to a company like Kia or Toyota to market their vehicles as reliable daily drivers so people use them as grocery getter‘s and don’t beat them up over rocks, mud, water and they don’t put enough power into them except the supreme to be beaten up or attract people who want to floor their vehicles all the time.
Just a little bit of info and if you have any questions I’d be happy to help. But the reason jeep and dodge get there bad reputation is because no other brand markets themselves as vehicles to abuse and rock crawling or even off-road can easily tear up all kinds of things and put so much strain and we are in tear on several parts of your vehicle
Look at the amount of jeeps that go over 100,000 without even changing spark plugs or anything and look at how many go over 150,000 miles without anything other than basic maintenance and basic things every car needs. There are more of them than you think but then look at a Dodge charger challenger with racing stripes or a jeep with a hemi engine see people abuse them way more. Then when those people who have enough money to buy a brand new vehicle and abuse them create problems they sell the vehicle buy a new one and someone else gets their problems
I use speech to text so maybe my words are a little messed up. But really take into account how much more abuse jeep and dodge vehicles go through the most manufactures it’s amazing they last just as long after rock crawling
Yes my mom has always been a jeep then my dad has always been a musclecar fan and I have a 105,000 mile Dodge charger with the original spark plugs which I bought used to years ago and I also have a 01 wrangler tj with 164,000 miles. I wanted everything to be stock and I bought it was small tires so that way it was less chances of being abused
Born and raised in Detroit (now in Fl.) worked for big 3 and always enjoyed car shopping.
This show now gives me car nirvana . MUCH THANKS 👍 ☮ out
I am so glad that i can bring enlightenment to you! ;-)
this is a good salesman. love the humor and unbiased opinions he gives
I think I found the car I need, when I have to go to Miami and pick up friends and family in the airport - thanks for this video :-)
Just picked one up today had a bmw 550i 2014 this is the best choice I’ve made in a while
Yup good luck with the mpg lol still a wonderful whip worth it tho
@@JayFMM but it’s a V6😂😂
I have a 2014 Durango limited AWD. 156k miles and no issues. Thinking of selling to carmax and buying another Durango for sure. Big fan.
did u get the hellcat?
My mom has had one of these for 7 years and I love it
$37k isn’t too shabby for this vehicle. I wish that they would’ve blacked out the Dodge name. Excellent video Joe!!!
Now we are talking! Thanks for the compliemnt!
I love your humor I used to make videos when I was in sales too most are private now. You rock I bet you have an awesome customer base.
Thanks Curtis! That really means a lot! You have to have a little fun!
I was in the market for a SUV and when I tested drove a 2020 Durango RT RWD it was a no brainer!! I got it in destroyer Grey what a badass people hauler!!!
This will be my dream SUV! Nice job Joe.
For those looking for a RWD or RWD-biased AWD crossover the Durango is worth serious consideration. And compared to the 2020 Explorer it's a huge bargain. The GT version Joe tests in this video is significantly under-optioned compared to what is available in the GT trim level. But even with a significant set of options, the GT is less expensive than an Explorer and comes with a higher tow rating and a V6 engine.
Thanks for sharing that awesome info Stephen!
Hey Raiti! Because of your great detail review and the expression when you romped on that gas pedal, got myself the 2020 dodge Durango SRT! It's so worth it...for my family of course! 😎👍
How’s it holding up after a year?
@@bkrnj_ its treating me and my family great!I I have driven the durango srt close to 20k on the odometer so far and no major issues. One issue I had was for the infotainment screen going out and needed a fixing at the dealership, cant barely drive when the heat seaters cannot be shut off lol without it working! but other than that, it's really fun!
An advice that I learned and research is that I only drive on sport/track or street mode on shift paddle from MDS activating. I rather have all cylinders working than half so all cylinders are active and keep it revved above 1500 at least so oil can lubricate the engine properly. But these are my opinion and from what I research from other mopar owners in general. Overall great family SUV, it will not disappoint any enthusiasts...maybe a couple of trips at the gas pump a week LOL! 😎👍
I really dig the Durango and I'd go for one in a flash if it featured more safety items, like AEB with pedestrian detection, etc, even as options, plus a better warranty similar to Hyundai's for example. Three years free maintenance is a perk!
I am so glad that you like this one.
To help make your videos even better, I think you should add vehicle stats on the vehicle. It could be on screen at the beginning or at at the end to sum it up. Just my opinion. Keep it up!
Thanks for that great input Malik!
I always like how he uses food as a reference for size and storage space.
Thanks Stephen! I appreciate that.
It’s very reliable brought mine in 2015 a brand new 2014 left over limited option out.No problems and plus this is my first American SUV in over 20 years! Going to get a option out GT this year!
Main reason I love this channel...I have a box of twinkies and zebra cakes in my car haha.
I love the Durango. Few things I don’t like, the third row. Wish it was optional like some suvs offer nowadays. It needs a slight redesign, mainly headlights/front end. Looking old, but still nice.
I would kind of like maybe a coupe look, but not 100% set on if it’ll look good

Thanks for letting me share some laughs with you and the vehicles! Very good input and perspective!
I want this suv so bad its so perfect when hanging with friends im in love with it🥰
You are right about that!
NICE JOB ON THE VIDEO. IT HELPED ME MAKE A DECISION ON MY 2017 DURANGO GT PLUS THAT I GOT IN OCTOBER. KEEP IT UP, I LOVE YOUR STUFF!
Thanks Alexander! Congrats!
I got to drive around in one of these all over central Florida on my business trip. It was big, red and full of anger. It went, very, very fast. Tons of fun to drive, but I was happy to give the keys back to the rental agency. It will be worth about $50 in a few years.
cool story
I'm still driving my 2007 Durango. It's been a great reliable vehicle.
i learned to drive in a '01 it was a real pos but looking forward to buying a '18 or '19
later this year
George B. Report back to us how you like it. Someday I’ll get another Durango when this one kicks the bucket
@@susanc.houghtondogandfolka3163 will do 😏
How many miles?
@@fupalover 113,000 miles. It’s starting to have a lot of issues now mostly due to rust
I love my 2019 Durango GT blacktop. Always wanted a Durango since the first gen. Was SUV shopping but couldn't bring myself to buy due to the knob gear control. was absolutely not for me.
It was not until they changed the gear knob back to a stick handle that It peaked my interest once more. And I must say, that was the 1st game changer, next the interior size, great crash test reviews, gas mileage, reliability and has a smooth comfortable ride. Definitely recommend.
Awesome truck Joe sorry I'm late was making french toast for brunch
That sounds yummy!
It was great thanks Joe well your Mustang be there for the car show in April
With powdered sugar on top?
@@kevinnorris6558 just butter and auntmama syrup with heavy vanilla
Such a beautiful car bruhh 😍 dream car right there
I am so glad that I could share it with you!
lol “not slouching, so mom would be proud of that...”
Thanks for letting me share the laughs with you!
I can watch this guy reviews ,he's funny but yet very real.
Perfect car for road trips
JOE, my Italian brother - I kinda like the Dodge Durango GT, to me it just looks really nice in person. it looks sporty & more expensive than it really is, the body style looks really good. I do agree about the seat quality - it appears to made of that micro fiber stuff like they're putting on new sofas, so I'm not sure about the long term durability either > but who knows. I'd prefer leather though. great posting - TONY
Hey Tony! I am so glad that you like this one. Very good points about the seats!
Just wanted to let you know, that i really enjoy your vehicle reviews. I learn alot and mostly which car has the best snack storage!!
Thank you Terry for taking the time to say that! I really appreciate you being part of the Raiti's Rides family!
Personally dodge vehicles has saved my life caravan, journey, and charger
Raiti came from the future just to eliminate all fake vents in the world. Good job man.
Thanks my friend! You are awesome!
I would like to see a 2020 Durango R/T review. Big fan and love you videos.
I will track on e down for you Jermaine! Thanks for your awesome support!
The Durango is a very nice looking 3-row SUV. I like that it resembles the Charger, which is my favorite sedan. On this particular model, I would opt for the larger infotainment screen and better seats.
great review Joe. I loved it!
I am so glad that you like this one!
The Durango has a handsome appearance. It looks great coming and going. If I was looking for a SUV a Durango would be on my short list.
I am so glad that you like this one!
7:32 imagine someone pressing the button right before a collision 😂
So FCA chose to putt plastic to protect you from the kids instead of usb outlets 🤦♂️😂
I know right!
Thank you! After much speculation I purchased this vehicle due to your reviews and I love it! Till next time!
How’s the gas
Jennifer Estrada gas mileage is decent for a truck this size. On average I would say 16-18 mpg.
Happy Sunday Joe! This is a pretty big SUV for a midsize. Power passenger seat should be standard. I’d have to get the R/T if I was buying one. Nice review Joe! 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸
Sure get the RT. I regret rushing to get one and got the GT. Still plenty of power from the 3.6 V6 but fuel consumption is almost the same as the RT.
I can totally agree with you!
Thanks for that info!
@@hamada128 really full consumption is similar???
@@peaceandfood7952 yes very close. I was getting 15 to 17 mpg on average mixed driving for the 30,000 miles I have driven it. On the highway only I could get up to 25 mpg.
Man, 2020 just feels like the year I expect redesigns out of everyone 😂
Especially seeing the new 2020 Highlander and the Palisade, everyone has to get their A-game on now 😂
Great vid, Joe! You got your A-game going 😂👌🏼
2021 comes a new durango based on the ram 1500 platform so
@@james2042 Now we're talking 😂
You are so very right Victor! Thanks for having my back!
I will believe it when I see it.
Finally!
Simple answer to the title. If you're leasing or or only plan on keeping it till the warranty runs out then go for it. If you're buying long term then run from any Chrysler or Dodge product.
the struggle to go in 3row if you have carseat lol
Rented the HEMI version recently. At 5k miles it feels really premium. Curious how it ages if anyone would care to share :)
Oh hey that's the dealership I got my 2018 challenger from. Good experience and I am loving my car!
I have a 2021 GT Plus AWD with a 6. Love it!!!!
It looks great very mascular specially with the black wheels.
I totally agree with you!
I'm a big fan and is my first time leaving COMMENTS, I love to watch and learn
Have a 2014 Limited 5.7 has everything in it except HID headlights and adaptive cruise control.
That is really awesome!
Hey Bro Thank You For Your Excellent Enthusiastic Car Videoclips . 🎆
That is so very awesome of you to say Trevor.
Honest review, on seats just buy decent seat covers. This is a good idea to protect your seats aswell. Don't let seats put you off buying a car.
That is a very good point!
M James true
True, not like you have to seat down every time you drive the vehicle. Just open the sunroof and ride it standing, like a boat.
Yeah you don't any Twinkies stain!
I love my 2020 durango mine has all leather interior and heated front and back seats very nice smooth ride. 1:52
Thanks for sharing that great ownership experienece!
Thank u for this review, very informative and fun to watch
Love your vids!!!
Thanks brother!
Man, are you like a machine or something? Too many vids for me to watch XD. Great content I'm sure. Could you review the Model Y or the Mach E when you get your hands on them? Thanks!
Thanks man! The videos will always be here for when you get the time. I will do!
Buckling down this year so I can get one in Army Green with blacktop package next year.
Very nice! You will love it!
Love the Dodge Durango! Great review.
Thanks for letting me bring it to you!
Hey Joe, that GT that you tested is the base model. The GT plus model has Leather and USB in the second row with the option for AWD. Just an FYI and auto start.
I know that! I am talking from the viewpoint of this price.
I just picked up my 2020 Dodge Durango GT Blacktop recently. I must admit, so far this thing is amazing from its overall appearance, comfort and down to its 3.6L. I could have gotten the V8, given the standstill traffic in NYC it was not the best choice for daily city driving.
The V6 agile acceleration is enough to quench your thirst for most gearheads.
Mods I have done so far, exhaust and DroneMobile.
Same as you but with a 2021. Love it!!!
@@Mike-0201 super nice congrats
Jeep and dodge looks luxury and boss at the same time
I totally agree with you!
I like the one with the red leather in the soft Stitch dash for another thousand dollars GT trim
I totally agree with you!
Love my 2020 GT
I am so glad that you like this one.
Ready to see a red eye version.
Trust me so am I!
Watching Joe on a lazy Sunday.
😎👍🏻.
Do you think you can do the SRT version?
Hey Dan! Thanks for tuning in. Of course man!
Here you go:

I drove one when it shifts is really loud
He ready reviewed the SRT version
I wish car salesman in my country were this good
This guy is really selling me on this car man lol
How are you Joe? I'm freaking tired from the daylight savings. And also... MOPAR BABY!!!
I totally feel the same my friend!
I’m your Korean fan!!
I am so grateful for that!
Is that a Jindo?
doge!!!!!
go buy $DOGE stocks if you want to be rich.
Thinking of buying one as a work Truck. If I can fit a Handtruck in the back it’s gonna be a Go.
I know how you fee!
Awesome design. One major flaw, mechanical fuel door release. Why do auto manufacturers seem to think that is a good idea? I had a car years ago. With one and more then once I had a melt down ata fueling station because my fuel door would not open, so stupid.
That is a very good point!
This is the 2WD GT. My 2020 GT is AWD and have USB in the back.
i really enjoy your reviews. I would love to see you do some classic car reviews!
Your explanation is impressive..!!! 👌🏼
Another great review Raitt, $37k no USB for the back seat passengers no integrated turn signals no 8.4 inch touch screen and it looks like Dodge cut back on a few things my 17 Durango was listed as towing capacity of 7600 pounds and it looks like they removed the rechargeable flashlight in the back. but I'll admit the ride is very smooth and comfortable RESPECTABLE power for a V6 it fits our family needs.
Thanks for the compliment and for letting me share this one with you! You hit the nail on the head.
Raiti's: Best reviews on RUclips! :-)
A 3rd row suv with no backseat connectivity is unusual but i believe they didn’t put it in this particular model because it’s a Gt model not really a family suv being a GT model in my opinion it’s more of an Suv to take your friends out to the club or just cruise the town. The SXT is more the bare bones family version so putting all the backseat connectivity in that model makes more since that it being in more of a sports car version of an suv
I’ll have to zonk myself this time cuz I just realized that Im not subscribed.
At least you caught it now! ;-) thanks for joining the Raiti's Rides family!
this is not the full spec version right ? because the full spec has USB ports and white leather seats and electric tailgate etc..
At 11:36 yes there is theres a 12 volt on the right side on the back right panel all you need it to get a usb care charger and bam two usbs for the two people in the third row
It looks funny without a hood scoop and kinda cute
I totally agree!
I know you probably wouldn’t do an RT, given that you’ve done GT and SRT...but would love to see you do a review on RT. 🤙🏻
I will get it together for you Ryan.
This looks so good. I want it. But my aunts darango scares me. With shop visits
I know how you feel!
The entire front clip, is clean and awesome!
Excellent lines and we'll porpotioned styling, again very clean!
Sounds Great! What are, "Funny Bones"? That's a new one to Me! 🤔
Center Stack, looks a little dated!
Agree, the seats are Zonked! No bolstering, and no rear connectivity...
So! That's how you spike your hair! Finger in the 12v. socket! 😳
Definite plus, being a standard RWD, format! Priced lower than expected. 😳
Good review, probably swap the seats out for RECARO's... 🏁
I am so glad that you like this one. Funny Bones are filled with peanut butter.
I didn’t click on this for comedic entertainment but he’s hilarious from the twinky jokes to the silver spoon jokes😂 he should try stand up comedy
Thank you for letting me share the laughs and the cars with you!
These Durangos are nice cars but no use for Uk. Really surprised by the low torque of V6s. My Escape/ Kuga 2 litre turbodiesel has 295lb ftlb torque just above 1700rpm.
That is a very good point!
Nice been waiting for a Dodge Durango 🇺🇸
How long have you been?
Did you miss this one?

@@RaitisRides idk LOL
Jay Patel Sup Jay
@@RaitisRides Nah nah I've already seen the SRT LOL, I was just saying that because it's a Durango LOL 🤣🤣.
I’m pretty sure that’s a blacktop package and those wheels and black mirrors aren’t standard.
Thanks for that info.
Good looking suv but if it's trying to compete with the Telluride definitely falls short though..
That is a very good point!
To make it a perfect vehicle it should have a moon roof. It's just my humble opinion.
You hit the nail on the head Moe!
2 moon roof
Any Durango users? Does it last? Is it reliable? How does it do on the road? Specially in hot climates like Arizona. Knowing i do take good care of my cars. Will be for daily use. Not gonna lie that plastic stuff is a bummer. why manual seats all that money improve interior a bit smh.
Thanks for sharing those great questions.
I owned a Durango RT 2019 holy shiiiiiiioooooott they depreciate like wildfire!!!!!!! Not even At 60k. Whoa don’t get one if you want good money back when you sell or trade in.
You buying a car as an investment?
It's definitely a great value you're getting a lot more for your money that a Jeep Grand Cherokee sharing the same chassis slightly bigger vehicle I think it's about 12 in longer
I totally agree with you Gary!
I believe it's a little cheaper as well comparably equipped hope you have a great day tomorrow and have safe travel
Just bought this baddie, a red one! Already at 1,500 miles 🙈 Sick Car!
Congrats!
@JC Jasso How many mpg u get ? Thanks
Who's gonna wait for the dodge Durango hellcat that may be coming?
I will! ;-)
Can you make a video on Dodge Charger GT. Definitely looking into buying one soon. I trust your judgment. You’re gonna determine rather I but one or not. Thanks in advance.
I am going to get that together for you Desmond.
Thank you sir
u can feell every bump with this SUV
Thanks for sharing your input!
Hey my brother checking in
Thanks for taking tie to be here!
Great review for sure Joe! What was the towing numbers?
Thanks! It's 6,200 lbs
I have this car from 2015. Not much has changed. Actually, nothing. Maybe different fog lights? But the interior and exterior look exactly the same. I've had very few issues in 5 years... would recommend excep the mpg is terrible.
nice review.really nice suv nothing to complain about really.except the rear race track lights they call it.burn out in sections.looks nice at night.v6 is all you need.dodge hangs you if you want the 5.7v8 by at least 10k more.
Thanks for sharing that great input Morris!
