2004 Dodge Durango

Now comes the 2004 Dodge Durango, a total rewrite of the Durango book. Its seven inches longer, and the wheelbase, width and height have all grown by three inches, bringing it to a size between the Chevy Tahoe and Ford Expedition. Its skin has been completely restyled, and there are two new engines: a 3.7-liter V6 and a 5.7-liter Hemi V8, in addition to the popular 4.7-liter V8. The new Durango offers excellent ride and handling, without that unrefined, rough round the edges feel that characterized the previous-generation model. Both the 4.7-liter and 5.7-liter V8s are superb, smooth and powerful. They come with a five-speed automatic thats smooth, refined, smart and responsive. Inside, its quiet, roomy, comfortable and technologically sophisticated. These descriptions would not have fit last years model. The all-new Durango is both more and less of a truck than it was before. More because its stronger; and less because it simply feels less like a truck than the former Durango, despite its size.
