2011 Dodge Durango Review;
The 2011 Dodge Durango is another quality SUV release by Dodge and can be purchased from Dodge Dealers Tuscaloosa. The Dodge Durango took a two year break as Chrysler was restructured and a new design for the model was engineered. The new Durango is an excellent companion to the new Jeep Grand Cherokee and can be found at a Dallas Dodge dealership. The new Durango offers several features such two or four-wheel drive, seven seats, and a Hemi V-8 engine among others. Other vehicles with Hemi engines can be purchased or test driven at KS Dodge Dealers.
The new Durango is just as visually appealing as its predecessor and has an impressive assembly quality with its chrome trimmed interior and other features. The Durango is available with both V6 and V8 engine options, and the base engine is a V6 Pentastar engine with 290 horsepower. The engine has a torque peak at 4800 rpm. The Hemi V8 has 360 horsepower and 390 lb-ft of torque and offers faster acceleration. The fuel economy of the Duragno is still a relatively low 16 mpg in the city and 22-23 mpg on the highway for the V6 versions and 13-14 mpg in the city for the V8 model.
The Durango is a heavy SUV at 4955 pounds for the V6 model and 5200 to 5350 pounds for the Hemi V8 model, but features like a low tuned suspension and unibody architecture give the Durango a smooth car-like ride and compensate for the lower fuel economy. The steering of the Durango is comfortable and easily controllable and the model navigates high degree inclines and declines with great ease. The best part of the Durango is its low base price. The new Durango starts at only $30,045 at its base price and offers four different trim levels. The price is the most competitive feature of the new Durango, and Chrysler is likely to see many more sales for what it offers in this model.
