About the Dodge Durango

The Dodge Durango is a popular SUV. It's known for being roomy and powerful. It can carry many passengers and lots of gear. This makes it great for families and long trips.

Durango's Journey Through Time

The Durango has changed over the years. The first version was made from 1998 to 2003. This was a mid-sized SUV. It was a bit smaller than later models.

The second version came out in 2003. This one was a full-sized SUV. It was bigger and had more space. This model was made until 2008.

For a short time, Chrysler also sold a similar car. It was called the Chrysler Aspen. However, it did not sell very well.

Who Made the Durango?

Different companies have made the Durango. These include DaimlerChrysler and FCA US, LLC. The Durango was stopped in 2009. This happened because the factory that built it closed down.

But the Durango made a comeback in 2012. Today, you can even get a hybrid version. A hybrid car uses both gasoline and electric power. This helps save fuel.

The Future of the Durango

Recently, the company announced some changes. The Durango might be phased out again. The factory where it's made could change. It might start building Jeep vehicles instead. This includes the new Jeep Grand Wagoneer.

However, the company also said the Durango could return. It might make another comeback in the future.
