With both rear rows stowed, there's room to haul a six-foot sofa with the tailgate closed.
a swank soft-touch and chrome-trimmed interior
feels steady and controlled over bumps and ruts that would have had the old truck bouncing and fumbling to regain its composure
Exceptionally soft armrests, supportive seats, and good visibility keep driver and passengers comfortable.

And inside, the Durango is notably comfortable and refined—especially for a vehicle without a luxury badge. The driving position in the Durango is excellent, with a nice, upright vantage point, and the seats are supportive and comfortable. The second rows boast adult-size space and comfort, while the third row is, as in most vehicles, tight and rather difficult to get to—even though it could be pressed into duty for small adults. The seating arrangements, down to the flip-fold features of the third-row headrests, are strikingly similar to those in the Mercedes.
