2007 Dodge Durango Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||
Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
2007 | 4dr SUV 235-horsepower 4.7L V8 5-speed automatic AWD |
With the power adjustable front seat, both myself (at just over 6 feet tall) and my wife (5 foot 5) can find plenty of leg room. The additional seat width is appreciated for me (over our past viechle) as I have long arms & need more elbow room than most. see full Dodge Durango review |

With a growing family, we needed 3 rows of seats that can actually haul people of normal size. It seems the 3rd row of some SUVs are made for 10 year olds. This viechle fits 8 people in a pinch, 7 comfortably. see full Dodge Durango review |
2006 | 4dr SUV 230-horsepower 4.7L V8 5-speed automatic AWD w/low range |
I am small, but regardless, there is plenty of room for comfort. The front cabin is so roomy I tend to lose things in it! see full Dodge Durango review |

tight quarters. see full Nissan Altima review |

Good luck fitting more than one person of or above average size in the back. For one person, I find that having them sit in one seat and putting their legs across behind the other seat creates the illusion of them having more room. see full Nissan Altima review |
