First introduced in 1998, the Dodge Durango replaced the Ramcharger in the maker's lineup. Since its inception, the Durango has been Dodge's preeminent full-size SUV and has gained a vast following over the years. This seven-passenger sport utility vehicle was long considered an American favorite and is currently one of the bestselling full-size models in the United States. However, production of the model has been decreased due to the current lack of buyer interest in full-size SUVs, both for their higher price and poor fuel economy.

The first generation of the Durango featured four different engines. A 5.2L Magnum V8 was the standard engine from 1998-2000. Available for the 1999 model year was a 3.9L Magnum V6, but lack of buyer interest caused the engine level to only be offered that year. From 1998-2003 a powerful 5.9L Magnum V8 was available as an upgrade, and a 4.7L Powertech V8 was offered as an upgraded version from 200-2003.

The 2004 model year brought about a complete redesign of the Durango, and buyer interest began to climb again. The exterior facelift consisted of a more structured, chiseled build and a more prominent front bumper. With several different trim levels offered from 2004-2006, the Durango was able to fit most any buyers needs.

Another revamp came about for the 2007 model year with a more refined exterior and the introduction of the 5.7L HEMI V8, Dodge's signature engine. But, with sales dwindling, Dodge was considering letting go of the model. However, recent reports have stated that the 2009 model year will include a Durango Hybrid with even more advanced hybrid technology than some of the leaders in the American auto industry. Dodge hopes that this "green" introduction will garner new attention for the Durango and give a boost to the sales.

Since its beginnings, the Dodge Durango has been a familiar vehicle in both movies and on television. Feature films that included the Durango include Traffic, Taxi, The Watcher, Scary Movie 4, The Matador, Transformers, and the blockbuster hit The Day After Tomorrow. Primetime television shows that have featured the model include Veronica Mars, Wildfire, Friday Night Lights, and the Showtime sensation Queer as Folk.

With recent questions about the future of the Dodge brand, it is questionable whether the Durango will live on for several more model years. However, the maker claims that there is no intention to discontinue their prized SUV. Unless the hybrid version blows away the buying public, critics say that Dodge might have to reconsider its statement.
