The Dodge Durango, produced from 1998 to 2003, marks the first generation of this popular American SUV. This model, built on the Chrysler LH platform (shared with the Chrysler Concorde, Dodge Intrepid, and Eagle Vision), aimed to offer a spacious and capable vehicle for families and active individuals. The Durango is powered by either a 3.9L V6 engine or a 5.2L V8 engine, both equipped with a four-speed automatic transmission. While the V6 provides decent fuel economy, the V8 delivers robust power and towing capacity, making it ideal for hauling cargo or trailers. The Durango offered a range of features depending on the trim level, including power windows and locks, air conditioning, cruise control, and an optional sunroof. Safety features included dual front airbags, anti-lock brakes, and a driver's side side airbag. The Durango's design combined elements of practicality, comfort, and SUV ruggedness, featuring a boxy exterior, ample interior space, and a truck-like driving position. The Dodge Durango, despite being built on a car platform, enjoyed popularity for its versatility and capability. It provided a comfortable and spacious interior for up to seven passengers, offering ample cargo space for family trips or outdoor adventures. While not as off-road capable as traditional truck-based SUVs, the Durango's ground clearance and available four-wheel drive options made it suitable for light off-roading and snowy conditions. The Durango's reputation as a reliable and practical vehicle earned it a loyal following during its production run. Although discontinued in 2003, the first-generation Durango left a lasting impact on the automotive landscape, paving the way for the more modern and refined models that succeeded it.
