The Dodge Durango is substantially overhauled from previous iterations, keeping only its name, optional Hemi engine and perhaps a couple of hidden electronic pieces.

Aboard the Durango, a lot of aspects are taken from the new Jeep Grand Cherokee, except of course the extra space and the third bench. Forget the drab, cheap-looking interiors of Dodges past. It is nonetheless quite classic, but the trim is a lot plusher. And the attention to detail is particularly better. The very practical Durango offers a multitude of seat configurations, and you can set up the interior to suit your needs.

The front passengers enjoy ample space, and the multiple seat adjustments will help you find a good driving position easily. We did, however, note a lack of lateral support. Accessing the third bench is facilitated by a simple mechanism that, in one fell swoop, allows a child to slide right to the back without help.

An optional air suspension also is likely for the Durango, especially given its claimed performance intentions and the availability of such a system on the GC.

Towing capacity is quoted as pounds with the V-6 and pounds with the Hemi, which is down slightly from its truck-based predecessor. A trailer-sway-control system will be standard. The Durango finally loses the two-level front end that previously tied its look to those of the Dakota on which it was based and the larger Ram.
