DODGE DURANGO ACCESSORIES
The Dodge Durango rolled off the line in 1998. It is a midsize SUV that was designed to take the place of the Ramcharger in the Dodge lineup and got its start constructed off of Chrysler's N platform along with the Dodge Dakota. When it was first introduced, the Dodge Durango was equipped with a base 3.9L Magnum V6 and only available in four-wheel drive. Engines were mated to a four-speed automatic transmission. The available V8 was a 5.2L Magnum V8, but it was replaced in 2000 with a 4.7L PowerTech configuration. Also in 2000, the R/T trim level was unveiled, which showed off a 5.9L Magnum V8 good for approximately 250 horsepower. In 2001, the interior of the model was given the most attention, as Dodge redesigned the inside with new dash controls, dual-zone climate control, door panels, and a standard six-speaker stereo system.
2002 ushered in the SXT trim level, which became the entry-level version of the model. Four-wheel disc brakes were added throughout the Durango lineup for 2003. There were not any other major changes to the Durango for the remained of the first generation. Dodge went on to unveil the second-generation Durango a year later. The SUV was offered in four trim levels: SXT, SLT, SLT Plus, and Limited. The base engine was a 3.7L PowerTech V6 capable of 210 horsepower and 235 pounds-per-foot of torque with the next step up being a holdover 4.7L PowerTech V8 good for 235 horsepower and 300 pounds-per-foot of torque. Of course, the engine that got the most attention was the well-publicized HEMI V8, which cranked out 335 horsepower and 370 pounds-per-foot of torque. All engines were directed through a four-speed automatic transmission.
Two new trim levels joined the lineup in 2005: the Night Runner and the Adventurer, which gave the Durango a total of six different trims for drivers to choose from (although by 2008, both would no longer be available). Updates came for the 2007 model year, as the Durango was given a new front-end design which included a revised grille, hood, headlights, and fenders. Other improvements included electronic stability control, rear-park assist, a tire-pressure monitoring system, and a one-touch turn signal. The fall of 2008 brought on the Durango Hybrid. The Durango Hybrid showcased a 340-hp HEMI in conjunction with Chrysler's new Two-Model Hybrid system which increased fuel mileage up to a combined (city and highway) 20 miles-per-gallon (in 2009, that number would rise to 22). However, the Dodge Durango Hybrid was distributed on a somewhat limited basis. Since its arrival, the Dodge Durango has been a solid SUV success story for the American automaker. From model years 1999 through 2005, Dodge averaged over 139,000 units sold per year of the Durango. The model has also received numerous awards from around the industry, including being named to Car and Driver magazine's Ten Best List (1998) as well as being dubbed a Consumer Guide Recommended Buy numerous times (1998, 2001, 2002, 2005, and 2006).
The Dodge Durango offers the heavy-duty strength that truck lovers crave without all of the extra "truck." As a full-size SUV, the Durango is a stylishly dominant machine, racking up points all over with its accommodating, spacious interior and accessible driver-side options. The Durango is a lean, mean reminder of what Dodge is capable of, as this model also has the performance to rock dynamite when traversing off the beaten path. A solid favorite that incorporates its very own style, the Dodge Durango has loyal drivers from coast to coast.
