2006 Dodge Durango Seat Room and Comfort: Pros

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

2009 4dr SUV 270-horsepower 3.5L V6

seats were hard and flat. Even top of the line luxury model seats were a big disappointment . . . one of the principal reasons we did not choose this vehicle see full Toyota Highlander review
2009 4dr SUV 270-horsepower 3.5L V6

Only two seats in the 2nd row, very small leg room in the 3rd row. see full Toyota Highlander review
2008 4dr SUV 270-horsepower 3.5L V6

3rd row seat is full bench seat and individual side can not be raised or lowered independently. Access and available room much less than MDX. see full Toyota Highlander review
