2008 4dr SUV 210-horsepower 4.0L V6
5-speed automatic 4WD w/low range
the front seat has plenty of leg room and seats hug you see full Ford Explorer review
2006 4dr SUV 292-horsepower 4.6L V8
6-speed automatic 4WD w/low range
Have driven from Maryland to Florida and back a couple of times, as well as 3-4 hours trips routinely. Seats are comfortable with no backache and don't have to stop every couple of hours due to fatigue. Could drive and be comfortable all day long. see full Ford Explorer review
 

What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2008 Dodge Durango

2008 Dodge Durango Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
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
2007 4dr SUV 235-horsepower 4.7L V8
5-speed automatic AWD
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
