2006 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
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
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
