The second generation of the Dodge Durango SUV was also the first to introduce the 5.7-liter Hemi engine in the lineup. It had five different trims, starting with the basic, 4x2, SE, which featured basic options such as central locking, air-conditioning and a six-disc CD player with MP3 capability.
The Durango was based on the same chassis as the Dodge Dakota pickup truck. It featured a three-row seating position and a seating capacity of up to seven passengers. Its off-road abilities were limited due to the heavy weight. On the transmission side it first came with an automatic 4-speed gearbox. Another 5-speed automatic and a CVT were added later on for different engine options.
In 2007, a facelift was introduced at the Dallas Auto Show, and a newly redesigned hood was shown to the public. New features included electronic stability control, a tire pressure-monitoring system, rear park assist, and a one-touch turn signal.
By the end of 2008, the demand for the big SUV decreased and in October the Newark assembly plant where the Durango was built was shut down. The world financial crisis hit the big SUV market the most. In its last production year, as a 2009 model, Dodge was promoting the first Durango Hybrid, where the big 5.7-liter V8 engine was helped by two electric motors with 65 kW.
