A friend of mine was actually looking into buying this car... i recommended this video to him and he was really impressed... another great in depth review.. thanks Kyle.
Hey Kyle, Let me say first and foremost you are THEE person to go to when it comes to car reviews. Reason being you're very thorough, knowledgeable and have obviously done your research about the particular model and company. All of your reviews are stellar! Really, congrats on mastering this field. Any how, let me get straight to the point. The reason I've decided to place my first comment ever on youtube is to ask you to do a review for me. I'm going to be purchasing a vehicle in the near future and the vehicles I'm debating between you do not have reviews on. This was very disappoint seeing as how you're the only person I will turn to for my advice and review on the auto industry. IF, it is possible, could you do a review on my first choice, the 2014 dodge durango R/T? I would love to see it and it would help ever so much when it comes time for my decision. The other vehicle I would love to see that I'm also considering 2nd is BMW X6. Please. Please hear my plea for a review on the 2014 Durango R/T. I beg of you. The BMW would also be nice but I'd love to see the Durango. With much grattitude and sincerity, Your Fan Mike
I have a 2011 Dodge Durango Citadel that we bought brand new in May 2011 shortly before I graduated from high school. It's a good car. It's finished of with the Brilliant Black Crystal Pearl exterior and black leather interior. As of 2022, it only has 45,000 miles on it. The original 5.7L HEMI V8 is still going strong. Plus, it still has the original tires from the factory that are still going strong as well. However, there will eventually come a time where all the original tires will need to be replaced. The car was driven locally through out most of 11 years of it's life. The only time we'd take the car on longer drives is if we're going on vacation trips. 2011 was a new redesign for the Durango as it goes into it's 3rd generation. The 1st generation was made from 1998 to 2003. The 2nd generation was made from 2004 to 2009. There are no 2010 year models. The 3rd generation started in 2011 and it's still going on today. The 3rd generation has lasted much longer than the first two generations.
+MAGNUM05 Your mother was a smart woman to purchase it. I really don't even see why people to Toyota or Honda when Chrysler makes a much better SUV in the same class. Everything feels cheap in a Honda or Toyota. It also looks outdated compared to this.
I literally never thought a Dodge would end up in my top 3 for the SUV I'll buy in the next 12 months. More I look at this Durango though, the more I like it.
I recently bought a Durango and it's awesome! I get better fuel economy than my friend that has a Highlander Limited. I was really hesitant to buy one because I've always had Japanese vehicles but I could not be more satisfied! I have to give props to Dodge because I have never seen a Chrysler-based vehicle this nice ever!!!
I saw a white one for the very first time a week ago here in Raleigh, N.C. I sat in my car looking at it because it looked like a Durango, which I now know it was, but never knew there was one called a Citadel. It looked like a new car. Whoever had it took great care of it. Thanks for the video. I was going crazy wondering what it was. Lol.
Very nice! I'll have to tell my Dad about these, they're going to be in the market for a replacement of their 2000 GMC Yukon Denali in a few months/years.
the back seat also reclines which trust me. if you are on a road trip helps ... would like to see you do a crew model. it would be great. and a drive test.
@rockerdriver you won't know until you seen it, feel it in person and do a test drive. Honestly I've owned imports for quite awhile but after seeing the new Durango I was impressed with the quality built into this suv. If your worried about the price of gas then this vehicle is not the right one for you....better get Prius!!!!
@dundermiflin892 With a big V8 powered SUV, it's not about HP, it's about Torque. This has 390ft/lb's while the MDX has 270. The MDX is also 300HP, not 360 and 16/21 MPG vs 14/20 with the Hemi.
@rudi2122 Park engages a parking pin in the transmission, and keeps the vehicle from rolling. Neutral disengages the gears and allows the wheels to move freely (same as a manual trans)
they say that these are crossovers, thats not true, it's an SUV because it's rear wheel drive with a V8(somthing that a shitty crossover lacks, also crossovers are fail wheel drive), i test drove one of these and it was very nice
I drive a 2002 Durango and I love it but someday im going to be getting one of these! They are awesome! The R/T is the one I would get though. I dont really like the citadel trim. Awesome review Kyle!
@talldude123 It's not far off anymore... you figure in Canada, a gallon costs what? About $5.00 US dollars. We're getting there, give us a few more months.
@ouwat4life Never mind he explained it in the vid. laser guided cruise control. The r/t front bumper looks even better then the citadel. thats if u were going for a more sporty look. I saw one today at dodge and i fell in love. This truck is class
A friend of mine was actually looking into buying this car... i recommended this video to him and he was really impressed... another great in depth review.. thanks Kyle.
Best feature
The remote flip-forward 3rd row headrests
So you can smack the lil kids acting up in the back row in the head. With the push of a button!
😂 so true

Buying one in the next couple of weeks! So excited!

Congrats on 1100 videos man.
My mom owns a black 2011 Dodge Durango Citadel and it's a really nice car, especially with the HEMI in it.

Same
another fine video as usual kyle! thumbs up!
this SUV..im in love..ive never seen sucha great comeback redesign with sooo many features!
the Brotherhood of Steel would be so proud with this Citadel
Words can't express how excited I am right now coz we're finally getting our new Durango tomorrow! :D
I literally never thought a Dodge would end up in my top 3 for the SUV I'll buy in the next 12 months. More I look at this Durango though, the more I like it.
Great job on your 1,100th video!!! :)
Excellent demo. Been looking at Japanese and German cars that are double the price and this one blows them out of the water.
Nice video as always, can you start up that black Jeep Commander in the background?
I recently bought a Durango and it's awesome! I get better fuel economy than my friend that has a Highlander Limited. I was really hesitant to buy one because I've always had Japanese vehicles but I could not be more satisfied! I have to give props to Dodge because I have never seen a Chrysler-based vehicle this nice ever!!!
Thank you very much for uploading the video about the new Durango, Kyle!!!!
Dracula love this video and car. Great job Kyle.
if i owned this, i would hit that headrest fold button when there was people sitting there
Dnuccio95ZJ lol

I think this might be my next car!
Wow! I'm so happy I found you and subscribed! You are a quality video machine!
2014 Durango is a beast...we have the 2012 citadel in black smooth ride and beautiful SUV Dodge really nailed this one
Great music in this vid ;-) haha. Love the new Durango, super cool. Just hope it doesn't catch fire, as people have already mentioned!
I've been looking forward to this one for a while! Thanks Kyle, keep 'em coming! :)
Whoo! I was wondering when this one was coming!
good to see the Durango back
Last of the true SUVs. A true beast of a machine.
@Joe132088 The front TV only works when the vehicle is in park. They had aftermarket systems like that for years
Very nice! Great video as always Kyle!
Please do a review of the 2011 kia Sorento, really want to get your imput and view of the SUV.
@TheWarmplate Well it shares the platform with Mercedes SUV's so might as well use the same key
Very nice! I'll have to tell my Dad about these, they're going to be in the market for a replacement of their 2000 GMC Yukon Denali in a few months/years.
When I buy my 2013 model, I'm so gonna black it out. YESSSSS! I love this car.
That's gonna look sick
@TheWarmplate That's the Daimler-Chrysler key fob. Mercedes-Benz and Chrysler are cousins. Believe it or not.
The RT looks delucious!!!!!!!!!
This, the Grand Cherokee and the Escalade are the best looking SUV's from America! :D
@ZaGexKoaLa well it says its produced from 2010 but the 2011 is the US calender and i don't understand why it says 2012 but it was built in 2011
does the smart key access open all the doors, when you open the drivers door?
the back seat also reclines which trust me. if you are on a road trip helps ... would like to see you do a crew model. it would be great. and a drive test.
that control for the rear headrests is great for when the kids are being annoying. just press the button and clunk.
@rockerdriver you won't know until you seen it, feel it in person and do a test drive. Honestly I've owned imports for quite awhile but after seeing the new Durango I was impressed with the quality built into this suv. If your worried about the price of gas then this vehicle is not the right one for you....better get Prius!!!!
i really like the new styling of these Durango.
the best crossover ever
love the redesign :) i like the "Heat" model better its lowered a little bit
@Matthew2168 Actually the 2011 Durango is the twin brother to the Jeep Grand Cherokee.
I use to like alot the 2000 models of this, i hated the 2005 model, but i felt in love with it :P
How would your video about the 2011 Dodge Charger Mopar design edition get blocked by WMG?
the transmission on the 2010-present Dodge Durango
Transmission
5-speed automatic W5A580
5-speed automatic 545RFE
@Annihilator1111 why do you post the engine and transmission specs on every car video?
@nauaj13 Not anymore. But yes, some of their technology still lurks in the Chrysler lineup.
Did you got a new camera? I thought you had black sd1400.
Great job
Great review, keep them coming!
is the black ball on the bottom front bumper a camera?
@datpimpinboy was this durango even 4WD? im pretty sure it has the Quadratrac systen
Do u know if this comes with a panaramic sunroof as an option?
My aunt has a 2005 Durango Limited with the 5.7L Hemi V8 with a flowmaster it's black with 95,000 miles and I want it soooooo bad!!!!!1
@connormink Yeah but the dodge durango was built first the Chrysler aspen was based on the Durango.
Can you please review the 2014 Durango I need a little more insight. There are many reviews but none with an in depth look
Greatly appreciated

what's the difference for the crew lux and the Citadel model???
I drive a 2002 Durango and I love it but someday im going to be getting one of these! They are awesome! The R/T is the one I would get though. I dont really like the citadel trim. Awesome review Kyle!
@Matthew2168 Actually it's the Grand Caravan's OLDER brother. (:
@talldude123 It's not far off anymore... you figure in Canada, a gallon costs what? About $5.00 US dollars. We're getting there, give us a few more months.
@oxlade1 I meant why did they change the car so much.
@Matthew2168
I just bought a 2000 Durango. Can't wait to start driving it. :D
@waterloo123100 did you mean to type 20.5?
This is such an awesome car!
saw a vid where one of these caught fire in the engine, my friend aint gonna get one no more.
how does parking assist work?
Kyle, for your next video, can you do the all-new, 2012 Ford Focus please?
this car is the boss
@kendrickevans301 when the car is in gear the front screen turns off.

@BetterDayz19 Well also you can a 290hp V6 too those have better mpg.
I filmed this Durango @ Turbo Zone
GMA News TV
Backend reminds me of the old X5.
the 2011-present Dodge Durango is assembled in
Detroit, Michigan, United States
Toluca, Mexico
@ouwat4life Never mind he explained it in the vid. laser guided cruise control. The r/t front bumper looks even better then the citadel. thats if u were going for a more sporty look. I saw one today at dodge and i fell in love. This truck is class
I love what they did with the Durango.. It's a hell of a lot nicer than my 2004
This such an awesome car!
@form109 well to tell people about what engines the cars have
This really is a huge improvement from the last generation. But personally I'd get it with the tan cream interior. looks SO much nicer
Where does the backup tire go?
Kyle, can u do a Start Up, Engine, and In Depth Tour of the 2012 Dodge journey crew AWD???piz?? i want to see which is better this or the journey
