I am 6ft and 295. I too found it to be roomier then most of the vehicles I test drove.
I own a 09 Tahoe that I am trading in on my 14 Durango that I have on order.
I test drove the 2015 Denali, both the short and the long version, I also test drove the ML and GL Benz, My sister bought a new RR Sport, and I checked it out as well. One of my brothers has a 15 Escalade, the other one has a 12 Explorer, and the other a 14' Land Cruiser. I also had owned a 10 Land Cruiser as well. I think its safe to say I have tested quite A few of the options out there, and at the end of the day I found the Durango to be on par or in many ways more comfortable then about anything out there.
I am actually quite shocked that after all the far more expensive options on the market that I looked at, that I kept coming back to the Citadel Durango, not for price, but for comfort, performance, smooth ride, and tech features, not to mention good overall looks too.
When talking solely about room and comfort. I made it a point to sit in every seat of everything I looked at, except the 3rd row of the new Tahoe/Denali/Escalade standard length models, not chance I was getting back there, the long Suburban length version were not to bad, but still not as comfortable to me as the 3rd row of the Durango and a Suburban is much larger vehicle to wheel around town in. The Tahoe I have now has more front seat room then the new 2015 does, GM sacrificed some front seat room and comfort in their new designed SUVs in exchange for more room in the second row and all but destroyed the 3rd rows room and comfort compared to the 07-14 models like I have now, the second row is better though.
Where in contrast, with the Durango, I could get into any seat in the Durango with relative ease. However the 3rd row was not super graceful entry exit for me, but do-able, and pretty comfortable once I got back there too. I find very few 3rd rows comfortable, in any way for a guy my size. But this Durango really wasn't too bad.
I should mention that I don't actually have my Durango yet, it's do to arrive later this month, but I did go back and test drive the 14' Durango's 3 times before choosing it over the others, the last time I drove it back to back with my second choice and finally went with the Durango.
Dodge did good on this!
