2006 Dodge Durango news, pictures, and information
Horsepower. Once you get some, you always want more. That's why Durango features the available 5.7-liter HEMI® V8 engine with a best-in-class* 335 horsepower and 370 lb-ft of torque.
Other engines and features:
- 3.7-liter V6 provides 210 horsepower and 235 lb-ft of torque
- 4.7-liter V8 provides 235 horsepower and 290 lb-ft of torque
- Choice of four- or five-speed transmissions
The world is getting smaller, and it has nothing to do with technology. Bigger than most of its full-size competition, Durango maneuvers and drives like a smaller SUV, yet provides all the space you need for comfortable trips with family, friends and gear.
To get a really smooth ride out of most vehicles you need to pay more to get a better suspension system. With Durango, the smooth ride comes standard. That's because every Durango features a long wheelbase and wide track, a coil-sprung solid-axle rear suspension with a Watt's linkage to control lateral motion, rack-and-pinion steering, torsion bar independent front suspension, and a hydroformed box-section frame for added stiffness.
Two available all-wheel-drive (AWD) electronic shift transfer cases—single speed and two speed—are engaged at all times and controlled by a switch on the instrument panel. Both provide traditional part-time four-wheel drive for maximum traction on slippery surfaces. Best of all, standard full-time AWD 'set-it-and-forget-it' is always there when you need it.
Security
Durango features patented crush initiators in the octagonal front frame rail tips that are designed to absorb frontal impacts more effectively and consistently than other designs. In fact, Dodge Durango has received a five-star rating—the government's highest frontal crash test rating—for both driver and front-passenger safety.
Durango features an advanced air bag system that includes multistage front air bags along with an Occupant Classification System (OCS) for the passenger-side front air bag; in addition, an available side-curtain air bag system helps protect all three rows of seating.
The OCS measures the conditions for activation or deactivation of the passenger-side air bag based upon the weight of the occupant.
Calling all competition: Durango is ready, willing, and able to take on any and all SUVs. Despite some pretty fierce opposition, Durango is winning awards and grabbing headlines like 'Truck of the Year' and 'Best in Class'. And critics can't stop talking about its impressive size, power, capability, and overall value—a combination no other SUV can match.Source - Dodge
