Comparison Review

Comfort
Rear passengers will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Dodge Durango than in the Toyota 4Runner. The Toyota 4Runner offers just a little more front head- and legroom than the Dodge Durango, offering the driver and front passenger a bit more room and comfort.

Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the Dodge Durango as you will with the Toyota 4Runner, as they are both able to travel similar distances on a tank of gas.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). When looking only at MSRP, the Dodge Durango will have less of an impact on your bank account than the Toyota 4Runner.

Dimensions
Since the Dodge Durango is much slimmer than the Toyota 4Runner, it'll be much easier to find a wide enough space in a crowded parking lot. For some people, bigger is better. If that's the case for you, then you'll be happier with the Dodge Durango, which is slightly longer than the Toyota 4Runner.

Handling
The Dodge Durango has a larger turning radius than the Toyota 4Runner, making it slightly more difficult to maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
With the Dodge Durango, you'll be able to pull heavier loads than the Toyota 4Runner. The Dodge Durango has a little more horsepower than the Toyota 4Runner.

Powertrain
With somewhat higher torque, the Dodge Durango transmits power to its wheels a bit more effectively than the Toyota 4Runner.

Utility
The Dodge Durango offers greater seating capacity than the Toyota 4Runner, making it a better choice for those who find themselves chauffeuring others around. The Dodge Durango has less cargo space than the Toyota 4Runner, which is okay if you don't need to move a lot in one trip.
