2011 Dodge Durango 5.7 Citadel Start Up, Engine, and In Depth Tour

[@aimanet]

A friend of mine was actually looking into buying this car... i recommended this video to him and he was really impressed... another great in depth review.. thanks Kyle.

[@JamesTK214]

Congrats on 1100 videos man.

[@MAGNUM05]

I have a 2011 Dodge Durango Citadel that we bought brand new in May 2011 shortly before I graduated from high school. It's a good car. It's finished of with the Brilliant Black Crystal Pearl exterior and black leather interior. As of 2022, it only has 45,000 miles on it. The original 5.7L HEMI V8 is still going strong. Plus, it still has the original tires from the factory that are still going strong as well. However, there will eventually come a time where all the original tires will need to be replaced. The car was driven locally through out most of 11 years of it's life. The only time we'd take the car on longer drives is if we're going on vacation trips. 2011 was a new redesign for the Durango as it goes into it's 3rd generation. The 1st generation was made from 1998 to 2003. The 2nd generation was made from 2004 to 2009. There are no 2010 year models. The 3rd generation started in 2011 and it's still going on today. The 3rd generation has lasted much longer than the first two generations.

Hey Kyle, Let me say first and foremost you are THEE person to go to when it comes to car reviews. Reason being you're very thorough, knowledgeable and have obviously done your research about the particular model and company. All of your reviews are stellar! Really, congrats on mastering this field. Any how, let me get straight to the point. The reason I've decided to place my first comment ever on youtube is to ask you to do a review for me. I'm going to be purchasing a vehicle in the near future and the vehicles I'm debating between you do not have reviews on. This was very disappoint seeing as how you're the only person I will turn to for my advice and review on the auto industry. IF, it is possible, could you do a review on my first choice, the 2014 dodge durango R/T? I would love to see it and it would help ever so much when it comes time for my decision. The other vehicle I would love to see that I'm also considering 2nd is BMW X6. Please. Please hear my plea for a review on the 2014 Durango R/T. I beg of you. The BMW would also be nice but I'd love to see the Durango. With much grattitude and sincerity, Your Fan Mike

[@satchboogyfan]

Best feature The remote flip-forward 3rd row headrests So you can smack the lil kids acting up in the back row in the head. With the push of a button!

[@williebillie925]

😂 so true

[@starshinesobright5354]

Buying one in the next couple of weeks! So excited!

[@MAGNUM05]

My mom owns a black 2011 Dodge Durango Citadel and it's a really nice car, especially with the HEMI in it.

[@Huels]

+MAGNUM05 Your mother was a smart woman to purchase it. I really don't even see why people to Toyota or Honda when Chrysler makes a much better SUV in the same class. Everything feels cheap in a Honda or Toyota. It also looks outdated compared to this.

[@lilseabass4115]

Same

[@beatlespersun]

Great job on your 1,100th video!!! :)

[@randomrazr]

another fine video as usual kyle! thumbs up!

[@revampted]

the Brotherhood of Steel would be so proud with this Citadel

[@ckeegan003]

I literally never thought a Dodge would end up in my top 3 for the SUV I'll buy in the next 12 months. More I look at this Durango though, the more I like it.

[@userrob880]

this SUV..im in love..ive never seen sucha great comeback redesign with sooo many features!

[@pivotboy63]

if i owned this, i would hit that headrest fold button when there was people sitting there

[@epicgamer1543]

Dnuccio95ZJ lol

[@rapamano]

Words can't express how excited I am right now coz we're finally getting our new Durango tomorrow! :D

[@SuperMattMuah]

I recently bought a Durango and it's awesome! I get better fuel economy than my friend that has a Highlander Limited. I was really hesitant to buy one because I've always had Japanese vehicles but I could not be more satisfied! I have to give props to Dodge because I have never seen a Chrysler-based vehicle this nice ever!!!

[@Alex148710]

I've been looking forward to this one for a while! Thanks Kyle, keep 'em coming! :)

[@goddfadda]

Excellent demo. Been looking at Japanese and German cars that are double the price and this one blows them out of the water.

[@md2k8]

Thank you very much for uploading the video about the new Durango, Kyle!!!!

[@jmohan10292]

2014 Durango is a beast...we have the 2012 citadel in black smooth ride and beautiful SUV Dodge really nailed this one

[@MercedesC300161]

Nice video as always, can you start up that black Jeep Commander in the background?

[@n2deep8604]

Please do a review of the 2011 kia Sorento, really want to get your imput and view of the SUV.

[@darrielwilliams5778]

I saw a white one for the very first time a week ago here in Raleigh, N.C. I sat in my car looking at it because it looked like a Durango, which I now know it was, but never knew there was one called a Citadel. It looked like a new car. Whoever had it took great care of it. Thanks for the video. I was going crazy wondering what it was. Lol.

[@adamtrower14]

does the smart key access open all the doors, when you open the drivers door?

[@michellehoffman879]

How would your video about the 2011 Dodge Charger Mopar design edition get blocked by WMG?

[@SpeedbeetleV2]

I think this might be my next car!

[@cuzintheboss]

Dracula love this video and car. Great job Kyle.

[@aronjohn84]

the back seat also reclines which trust me. if you are on a road trip helps ... would like to see you do a crew model. it would be great. and a drive test.

[@MrPMG1994]

Wow! I'm so happy I found you and subscribed! You are a quality video machine!

[@rudi2122]

hey kyle, in my country automatic gearbox cars are very rare, whats the difference between Park and Neutral?

[@stk931]

whats your opinion on which automaker has the best all around lineup for 2011? i say dodge. the new 300c and the new jeep grand cherokee overland are also really nice cars from chrysler group

[@dave11686]

Very nice! Great video as always Kyle!

[@A_guan]

Kyle, can u do a Start Up, Engine, and In Depth Tour of the 2012 Dodge journey crew AWD???piz?? i want to see which is better this or the journey

[@kendrickevans301]

@datpimpinboy was this durango even 4WD? im pretty sure it has the Quadratrac systen

[@imserious2187]

How are these as far as reliability?

[@ammomeister]

@rockerdriver you won't know until you seen it, feel it in person and do a test drive. Honestly I've owned imports for quite awhile but after seeing the new Durango I was impressed with the quality built into this suv. If your worried about the price of gas then this vehicle is not the right one for you....better get Prius!!!!

[@hash1977]

Did you got a new camera? I thought you had black sd1400.

[@moneymakingman2000]

When I buy my 2013 model, I'm so gonna black it out. YESSSSS! I love this car.

[@mikeperez5567]

That's gonna look sick

[@aabb-os3ig]

Please review the 2014 Dodge Durango.

[@mimiv624]

Done

[@ouwat4life]

is the black ball on the bottom front bumper a camera?

[@bmwmsport11]

Is the 5.7 recommended if you don't do towing? I mean it's good power but is it worth dropping 3MPG for more power?

[@form109]

@Annihilator1111 why do you post the engine and transmission specs on every car video?

[@HUMMFREAK]

This, the Grand Cherokee and the Escalade are the best looking SUV's from America! :D

[@nauaj13]

@TheWarmplate That's the Daimler-Chrysler key fob. Mercedes-Benz and Chrysler are cousins. Believe it or not.

[@1994Topgear]

Last of the true SUVs. A true beast of a machine.

[@A_guan]

kyle can u do a Start Up, Engine, and In Depth Tour of the 2012 acura mdx top end model???

[@TheCarArchives96]

@ZaGexKoaLa well it says its produced from 2010 but the 2011 is the US calender and i don't understand why it says 2012 but it was built in 2011

[@TheBigc837]

Do u know if this comes with a panaramic sunroof as an option?

[@DeeAndre]

Whoo! I was wondering when this one was coming!

[@AznSoulja45]

good to see the Durango back

[@2crivers]

Can you please review the 2014 Durango I need a little more insight. There are many reviews but none with an in depth look Greatly appreciated

[@CharlieStyr]

Great music in this vid ;-) haha. Love the new Durango, super cool. Just hope it doesn't catch fire, as people have already mentioned!

[@herbertjones4846]

Is The Satellite TV Free?

[@liyahknight4423]

Right lol 😂

[@karinautomotives6266]

The RT looks delucious!!!!!!!!!

[@Rohxntharealest]

i was thinking of getting one of these as my first car as a teen, would that be a good idea or should I go for something more reliable?

[@A_guan]

what's the difference for the crew lux and the Citadel model???

[@kyle51895]

Very nice! I'll have to tell my Dad about these, they're going to be in the market for a replacement of their 2000 GMC Yukon Denali in a few months/years.

[@superduperzipz]

can you do the vw scirocco, or the new passat?

[@TheRacso98]

I use to like alot the 2000 models of this, i hated the 2005 model, but i felt in love with it :P

[@mitchman2100]

This really is a huge improvement from the last generation. But personally I'd get it with the tan cream interior. looks SO much nicer

[@sorich]

Great review, keep them coming!

[@paulomendoza94]

Is this still good to buy a used one this year in 2024?

[@datboiwes333]

@Joe132088 The front TV only works when the vehicle is in park. They had aftermarket systems like that for years

[@Goldenrod636]

Why don't you ever demonstrate the power headrests?

[@yummy1234098]

@Goldenrod636 like the traverse??

[@datboiwes333]

@TheWarmplate Well it shares the platform with Mercedes SUV's so might as well use the same key

[@4wheeler14]

The front looks mean which is awesome, but I don't know what Dodge was thinking when the designed the back. How can you have such an aggressive looking front grill then make the back look like a crossover. The new interior is very nice though.

[@md2k8]

Kyle, for your next video, can you do the all-new, 2012 Ford Focus please?

[@kolbis99]

how much is the sticker price on this particular car?

[@ca13814]

My aunt has a 2005 Durango Limited with the 5.7L Hemi V8 with a flowmaster it's black with 95,000 miles and I want it soooooo bad!!!!!1

[@zanjani13]

i really like the new styling of these Durango.

[@devinfindlay1362]

Can you please do a review of the 2014 dodge durango r/t

[@BallardAutoReviews]

that control for the rear headrests is great for when the kids are being annoying. just press the button and clunk.

[@nicholaswoolsey7239]

Love the sound of the engine

[@wpnt37]

could you do a 2011 scion tc?

[@mustafasaadeldin27]

the best crossover ever

[@TheSwitijs]

Where does the backup tire go?

[@F22RaptorSquadron]

I love what they did with the Durango.. It's a hell of a lot nicer than my 2004

[@igeekone]

This sucker caught fire when towing a parade float. Is it because of the FIAT ownership?

[@DuallyDieselFord]

America's really making great vehicles now. Turned itsself around....... New Durango and Cherokee, Mustang 5.0

[@Ho0di]

hey! you ok from the tornado?!

[@bigcrowfly]

This is the truck model that caught on fire during the Cherry Blossom Parade in Washington DC in front of an audience of thousands.

[@TuckerMax007]

I'm looking for the Over-head DVD system to install in my 2011 Citadel... Anyone have the part#... or better yet.. where I can buy one.. lol

[@TheCarArchives96]

the transmission on the 2010-present Dodge Durango Transmission 5-speed automatic W5A580 5-speed automatic 545RFE

[@The1FastGP]

saw a vid where one of these caught fire in the engine, my friend aint gonna get one no more.

[@moneymakingman2000]

i actually like that its a crossover, because the past generation only looked good in certain trims, in lower trims those gray bumpers and door handles were hideous. this one looks good in all trims

[@rockey90]

I drive a 2002 Durango and I love it but someday im going to be getting one of these! They are awesome! The R/T is the one I would get though. I dont really like the citadel trim. Awesome review Kyle!

[@sideburns2009]

@dundermiflin892 With a big V8 powered SUV, it's not about HP, it's about Torque. This has 390ft/lb's while the MDX has 270. The MDX is also 300HP, not 360 and 16/21 MPG vs 14/20 with the Hemi.

[@KhrissyDaDon]

@saabkyle04 can you do a review on a 2010 Jeep Commander please

[@trainwrecktoby]

love the redesign :) i like the "Heat" model better its lowered a little bit

[@miguel28flow]

Where can I find the headphone ?

[@hannahwarriner6528]

This SUV is Silver

[@ladysguy28]

Do you have akura?

[@rootbeerfan6]

The Durango looks like a love child of a Jeep Grand Cherokee and a BMW sport-ute. The front is the Jeep and the back is the BMW.

[@MySamisbest]

I might get one... Depends if I still want one...

[@maxroberts99]

My parents are looking at a Citadel pretty much the same as that one, same color and features

[@stojanbre]

will this thing go offroad?

[@bradleymeyer9775]

I love this truck and I want this truck.

[@daswerck91]

i dont really like dodge but this car is so nice. Hope it will sell in western Europe

[@theoneandonlypda]

Hey Kyle if you get the chance you should try to review the New Infiniti QX56/QX80 stupid name change lol. I love the channel!

[@pcdoctor2]

how does parking assist work?
