Dodge Durango
After being from the market for a year, the Dodge Durango re-emerges with a brand new body and a new style of driving that makes it competitive against other crossover SUVs. The new 2011 Dodge Durango presently has a car-like single unit platform, that is much different in the tuck-like body-on-frame SUV structure of former models. The Dodge Durango’s new body provides it with a quieter, more balanced ride and better handling dynamics. There are also upgrades to the interior with high quality and more luxurious materials replacing lower quality plastics.
Improvements towards the toyota scion tc 2011 have also been made underneath the hood. The 2011 Durango includes a smoother and more powerful 3.6-liter V6 engine that cranks out 290 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of Torque, an obvious increase of 80 horsepower within the earlier 3.7-liter V6 engine. Some of 2011 Durango models provide an optional 5.7 Liter V8 engine, that provides 360 horsepower and 390 pounds-feet of torque. You can buy an used Durango engine with between a 3.7 liter to some 5.9 liter engine.
