The Dodge Durango, a full-size SUV, enjoyed its first generation from 2001 to 2003, serving as a rugged and spacious option for families and adventurers alike. Built on the same platform as the Jeep Grand Cherokee and the Chrysler Aspen, the Durango shared many of its components and technology with these vehicles, making it a reliable and capable SUV. The first generation Durango came with a variety of engine options, including a 4.7-liter V8, a 3.9-liter V6, and a 5.9-liter V8. The 4.7-liter V8 was the standard engine, offering a balance of power and fuel efficiency. The 3.9-liter V6 was a more economical choice, while the 5.9-liter V8 was reserved for higher trim levels and provided the most power.

The Durango's features and design were designed for practicality and comfort, featuring comfortable seating for up to seven passengers, ample cargo space, and a range of amenities. The first-generation Durango was available in various trim levels, including the basic SLT, the luxurious Limited, and the off-road capable Sport. The Durango's design emphasized a rugged and capable aesthetic with its boxy shape, large grille, and optional side steps. Equipped with features like four-wheel drive, a low range transfer case, and skid plates, the Durango was capable of handling various terrain conditions, making it a popular choice for off-road adventures. Despite its discontinuation after the 2003 model year, the first-generation Durango left a lasting impression in the SUV market, establishing its reputation as a capable, reliable, and comfortable family vehicle.
