Dodge Durango (1998)

Dodge Durango

The Durango was launched as a mid-size SUV, just after the second generation Dodge Dakota on which it was based (during the late 1980s, Chrysler designers proposed building an SUV version of the Dakota pickup; this was shelved when the Jeep division was about to release the Grand Cherokee as their flagship SUV). It is a very sturdy truck-based SUV designed to hold up to seven passengers and tow up to 9,000 lb with ease. The 4.7 L PowerTech V8 replaced the 5.2 L engine for 2000. In that same year a special all-wheel drive performance version called the R/T was released with a 5.9 L V8 engine.
