The 1998 Dodge Durango, a full-size SUV, was the first generation of this popular model and marked Dodge's entry into the burgeoning SUV market. Introduced in 1997 for the 1998 model year, the Durango was built on the same platform as the Dodge Dakota pickup truck, giving it a rugged and capable foundation. The Durango was available in three trim levels: SLT, Sport, and a luxurious Limited. It was powered by either a 3.9-liter V6 engine with 175 horsepower or a 5.2-liter V8 engine with 230 horsepower, coupled with either a four-speed automatic or a five-speed manual transmission. The Durango was well-equipped for its time, featuring standard amenities like air conditioning, power windows and locks, and a cassette player. Optional features included a sunroof, leather seats, and a CD player.

The 1998 Dodge Durango, despite being the first generation of the model, was a successful and popular vehicle. It offered a combination of ruggedness, practicality, and comfort that appealed to a wide range of buyers. The Durango was known for its spacious interior, comfortable ride, and solid build quality. It also offered decent towing capacity and off-road capability, thanks to its robust platform and available four-wheel drive system. However, the Durango's fuel economy was not its strongest point, particularly with the V8 engine. While the first-generation Durango was a successful introduction to the SUV market, the model would be significantly redesigned for the 2004 model year with a new platform, powertrain options, and updated styling.
