The Dodge Durango, a full-size SUV, first debuted in 1998 and quickly carved out a niche for itself in the market. Built upon the same platform as the popular Dodge Dakota pickup truck, the Durango offered a spacious and comfortable interior, ample cargo space, and a capable V8 engine. While it shared its underpinnings with the Dakota, the Durango featured a distinct, more refined design language, emphasizing its SUV identity. Early models were available with two engine options: a 3.9L V6 or a 5.2L V8, both mated to a four-speed automatic transmission. While the V6 offered sufficient power for everyday driving, the V8 was the preferred choice for those seeking more robust performance. The Durango also featured a rugged exterior design, capable of handling off-road adventures. Its high ground clearance and four-wheel drive option added to its off-road prowess.

The first generation of the Dodge Durango, spanning from 1998 to 2003, was known for its spacious interior, capable engine options, and rugged build quality. The Durango quickly became popular among families seeking a versatile and capable vehicle that could handle both daily errands and weekend adventures. It also gained a strong foothold in the law enforcement community as a favored pursuit vehicle. The interior offered seating for up to eight passengers and featured a range of comfort and convenience features, including power windows, locks, and mirrors. The Durango also offered a number of optional features, such as leather upholstery, a sunroof, and a premium sound system. This first generation of the Durango paved the way for future iterations, solidifying its position as a reliable and well-rounded SUV in the Dodge lineup.
