Dodge Motors scheduled to release the 2011 Durango

One of the significant absences from the SUV market has been the Dodge Durango. Dodge promised they would redesign the SUV that was popular in its halfway between mid-size and full-size although it had a lot of power. The new Dodge Durango got a little not only a face lift, as Chrysler is in a bit of a rebuilding phase. The crossover SUV between a Suburban and mid-size Explorer is where the 2011 Durango is headed. Chrysler wants to be a part of the crossover craze as Jeep is having models die off.

Get your hands on the Durango again

There were no Dodge Durangos produced for over a year. Chrysler decided this was best while it remodeled the three-quarter size SUV. The RamCharger is what the SUV changed. The SUV was really popular then. The niche it filled was that it offered the cargo space and seating to compete with minivans, as it sat three rows of individuals, yet was not nearly as cumbersome as larger SUVs such as the Suburban, Tahoe, Excursion, Expedition or the Hummer. Under the hood, it was all Dodge. Road trips, school, and sports were loved by this SUV. It was perfect for all this getting around.

Looking new

There is a difference between the old and new Dodge Durango. It is scaled down a bit. The brand new York Times reports that it is planned to be a crossover SUV. That doesn’t mean that Dodge is skimping on the horsepower, though. The Durango for 2011 actually comes with a stock 290 horsepower 3.6 liter V6. If you would rather, you can also get it with a 360 hp 5.7 liter V8. The V8 could have an efficiency system, which shuts down 4 of the 8 cylinders while not needed. The Dodge Motors Rock N Roll Virginia Beach Half Marathon will display three Dodge Motors Durangos for 2001.

Changes Chrysler decided to make

The Chrysler-Fiat merger means that new Fiat models could be placed in the other two brands besides Chrysler, which are dodge and Jeep. More Jeep and Patriot are being made. That is because they’re selling really well. Chrysler would do well to make as large a splash in the crossover market as it can.
