2011 Dodge Durango

The Durango enters its final year of production with more available power underhood (376 bhp), at exactly the same moment when SUV buyers are more interested in mpg numbers. Dodge’s answer to that is the Durango Hybrid (see separate entry), but for those looking for a more conventional SUV, the Durango will feel as comfortable as an old pair of tennis shoes. The Durango is available in rwd, awd or 4wd configurations, with a 3.7-liter V-6, 4.7-liter Flex-Fuel V-8, or the upgraded 5.7-liter Hemi with MDS (Multi-Displacement System). An Electronic Stability Program and ABS are standard. Three-row seating is available. Pour over the option book and you’ll find a backup camera, remote start, Sirius Backseat TV, heated front and rear seats, power adjustable pedals and the latest nav system.
