Now in its second year after a major overhaul, the 2012 Dodge Durango continues to shine as a viable seven-seat option in the large crossover/midsize SUV segment.

An optional second-row of captain’s chairs with a storage console that can take the place of a bench are new for 2012. There are other minor changes including the automatic transmission gaining a sixth speed when paired to the 5.7-liter V-8. Speaking of engines, the Durango has two, starting with a 290-horsepower, 3.6-liter V-6 that is mated to a five-speed automatic transmission. The previously mentioned, 5.7-liter HEMI V-8 has best-in-class 360-horsepower. In fact, the V-8 also achieves best-in-class towing of 7,400 pounds, while the V-6 can tow up to 6,200 pounds. A four-wheel independent suspension and rear- or four-wheel-drive are available with either engine.

The 2012 Dodge Durango is available in four trims: SXT, Crew, R/T, and Citadel, and competes with the Chevrolet Traverse and Ford Explorer. The V-6 engine has features a best-in-class highway cruising range of over 500 miles. EPA-estimated fuel efficiency ratings range from 12-16 mpg in the city and 17-23 mpg on the highway depending on drivetrain choices.

After going through a complete redesign last year, the Durango emerged as a more streamlined and uniform vehicle than in years past. Fog lights, automatic halogen headlights, 18-inch aluminum wheels, and heated side mirrors are standard features. Take it up a notch with exterior options like high-intensity-discharge headlights, SmartBeam automatic high-beams, a power liftgate, power sunroof, roofrack with storable cross rails, rain-sensing windshield wipers, and 20-inch wheels.

As previously stated, the 2012 Dodge Durango seats up to seven in three rows of seats, though opting for the captain’s chairs in the second-row lowers capacity to six. The 50/50-split third row can fold into the floor, unveiling a generous 47.7 cubic feet of cargo space. Tri-zone automatic air conditioning and an auxiliary audio jack are standard, while a premium Alpine sound system, Garmin-based in-dash navigation system, front- and second-row heated seats, a heated steering wheel, the Uconnect® hands-free phone system, and a touch-screen stereo with a hard drive for music storage are optional.

The 2012 Durango has a host of standard safety features, including antilock brakes, three-row side curtain airbags and an electronic stability system with roll-mitigation technology. Rear parking sensors, a backup camera, a blind spot monitoring system, rear cross-path detection and adaptive cruise control with forward-collision warning are optional.

Now with more comfortable seating options, great power/towing numbers, and a stylish exterior, the 2012 Dodge Durango has emerged as a real competitor amongst large crossovers.

Some manufacturers also provide first-time buyer, military, and other programs to target specific customer segments.

*Incentive programs are subject to change at any time by the manufacturer.

Secret 1
Consumer Incentives

Zero percent financing, employee discount, cash back, out-the-door price tags...

Most dealers work hard to offer the public competitive prices. These incentives can grab your attention, but they can also obscure the actual terms you're getting on your purchase.

How can you fully understand incentives to get the lowest possible price on your car?

Get our free quote, and we'll tell you the secret.

Secret 2
Finance & Insurance

Most state franchise laws prohibit manufacturers from selling cars directly to the public, so the dealer will be your middleman. But in terms of financing and insurance, you can choose a bank or the dealer directly.

How can you determine what's in your best interest?

Secret 3
Additional Costs

Destination charges, taxes, license and title fees, advertising fees... When going to a dealership, you must ask for an explanation of any fee you don't understand. But you need to choose your battles wisely. Your local car dealer may have taken a loss or slim profit along the way, and your fighting over something like a doc fee when the deal is nearly wrapped up may be counterproductive.

In any case, there are many fees and charges in the sale process: some inevitable, others questionable. How do you tell them apart?

Secret 4
Trade-in Value

If you currently own a car, it probably represents profit. The question is, whose profit will it be?

With few exceptions, you'll get the most money for your used car by selling it privately. That's because dealers pay wholesale prices — not retail prices — for used cars, and they sell them at retail.

Your current car's value can be used to lower the price on your new car. However, most people underestimate their used car's value when going to a dealership. How can you maximize your value?

Get our free quote, and we'll tell you the secret.

Secret 5
Dealer Holdback

The car manufacturer holds back a fraction of the price of all vehicles the dealership sells. Then, it returns the money to the dealership, usually on a quarterly basis.

Dealer holdback began its life as a safety net that ensured the manufacturers would have a security deposit of sorts if a dealership missed payments, and the dealerships would have money on hand to cover overhead costs when the holdback was returned.

How can you take advantage of dealer holdbacks to get the bottom line price?

Get our free quote, and we'll tell you the secret.

Secret 6
Dealer Incentives

Unlike consumer incentives, dealer incentives are factory-to-dealer incentives that reduce the dealer's true cost to buy the vehicle from the factory to below invoice.

Manufacturers offer these incentives on a regional basis to generate sales on specific models. These incentives are sometimes referred to as "spiffs," and they can touch off competition among dealers to move slower-selling stock.

For instance, a dealer incentive may kick in when a certain sales target is reached, with each subsequent sale resulting in a higher factory-to-dealer rebate. How can you benefit from that?
