2011 Dodge Durango Review

When the SUV market was really taking off to the point that everyone had one, and we all wanted one, the Durango was one of the middle to high end designs I liked. While test driving the smaller Jeep Cherokee, or even looking at the Grand Cherokee, I always liked the Durango quite a bit and made plans to go out and get one eventually. Like everyone else priorities change, or something else comes up, and I never got to buy one. Is the 2011 Durango finally going to get me to buy? A v* with a HEMI? Certainly a jump up from the toy I have running on 9v batteries.

Dodge says the Durango is “Re-engineered from the asphalt up” with an all-new unibody structure that is 25% stiffer than the previous model, all-new short/long arm front suspension and multi-link rear suspension. Aggressive shock and spring rates and large sway bars handle body roll in hard turning maneuvers. Available electro-hydraulic performance steering, along with standard electronic stability control also contribute to maintain tire grip and vehicle stability. full review
