Dodge debuted pictures and inofrmation about the all new 2011 Dodge Durango today. Mostly confirming what has already been heard; the car will be built along side the new Jeep Grand Cherokee at the Jeffereson North Assembly Plant. The Durango will feature both the new 3.6l V6 that will tow up to 6,200lbs and the 5.7l HEMI that will tow around 7,800lbs and offer both a RWD and an AWD option. The Durango will differ from the 2011 Cherokee in that it will offer a third-row seat for passenger occupancy of 7. The Durango will feature new trim packages including “Citadel” “Heat” “Express” and “Crew”.
The bold new look shows the future of Dodge design and features the new logo that will differentiate the brand from, the now separate, Ram brand. I think the styling is worlds better that the last generation of Durango, which in my opinion, was one of the most ugly SUV’s to ever have existed. Let me know what you guys think in the comments.
This is cool….

Boy they missed the mark on this one. Just an awful design(looks like a hearse)from the side,seven seater’s very dangerous in rear collisions,only a 5 speed,has horrendous gas mileage, but the worst of all is the Durango is not a “Top Safety Pick” for 2011.
Did you do the crash test yourself? because no data from the IIHS or the NHTSA has been released yet for the Durango? 23 highway MPG from the 3.6l V6 seems economical enough for me.
Like most movies and most TV shows – ccmieromals are revealing one sad little fact. WRITING is a lost art. That Dodge ad was GREAT – visually – but the WORDS chosen to back up the images were awful. ‘End of the world’? That might make a 12 year old boy laugh. But it conjures up – and triggers – all sorts of negative thoughts and feelings for a lot of people. IF you think not – then you must BE 12.
